You do understand Aristotle became head of the royal academy of Macedon, at the time probably one of the wealthiest cities in the world?

He taught the same Alexander that turned into Alexander the great.

After this he went back to Athens where he set up his own academy. He was by all standards wealthy.

Your comparison is bad and you should feel bad.

Comparing one of the greatest minds of ancient history to gender diversity masters (or do they use a gender-neutral word?) shows the raw amount of stupid present.
