I understand this is all relative. I come from an African country but even there around 250 acres of both residential and agricultural land is significant money. I'd say only about 20 acres are left where the owners are one of the ancestors.

My dream is to one day repurchase some of the lands and have financially sounder children that could take care of it ;)

It's a good point. I can I imagine a family having the local purchasing power (homes, a night on the town, etc) of a hundred millionaire family but that wealth diminishing quite quickly when used to consume luxury goods marketed to very expensive countries.
