"I'm not one of them" is an interjection to her main point, which is "There are some wealthy individuals who have a lot of stock portfolios". Her statement is equivalent to "I realize there are some wealthy individuals who have a lot of stock portfolios. I'm not one of them." The "one" which she accurately says she is not is a wealthy individual who has a lot of stock portfolios, not a general wealthy individual. I don't see a grammatical reason to interpret her statement differently. Further, it would make no sense for her to do so-- she is surely well aware that she has publicly disclosed her wealth.
A 'stock portfolio' is a collection of owned stocks. In it's true sense, no one has more than one 'stock portfolio'. The woman told a fibber and stepped in the shit.
I disagree. Some people take "stock portfolio" to mean any collection of stocks. Then, an individual certainly could own multiple stock portfolios. Even if we take "stock portfolio" to mean (as does dictionary.com) "the complete investments held by an individual investor or by a financial organization" then an individual could still own multiple portfolios indirectly through the ownership of multiple organizations which themselves owned portfolios.
is there a yardstick for singular portfolio wealth? someone could have separated portfolios that amount to 100k or, one that is huge......she doesn't have multiples apparently so shes not wealthy? ( she does it appears have 8 million in the one she has though).
thats another reason why her statement doesn't make sense unless she wanted to pass herself off as not wealthy.
