Just learned something wild about Barbara Corcoran's Social Security situation. So she's 76 now, founded The Corcoran Group, has a net worth around $100M, and obviously the woman is loaded. But here's the thing - even with all that money, there's actually a cap on how much Social Security you can collect each month. If she waited until 70 to claim and maxed out her earnings over her career, she'd be looking at like $5,100 a month. Sounds like a lot until you realize that's the ceiling, even for billionaires. Makes you think about how the system works, right? The government basically says 'okay, rich or poor, we're capping this.' Curious if people like her even bother claiming it or just let it sit. What do you think - would you wait until 70 to get the max, or take it earlier?
