Alexander's interview in The Times out of context "joke" or snobbery?

Thank you for the clarification regarding the house - I always read that it was a mansion so I wasn't sure.
I do know that he did/does drive a Porsche or an Audi though. He has been photographed with several.
Which is my case in point - he absolutely has a right to feel his country is better. And that is fine to say that.
I just thought it was rather hypocritical of him to make this analogy about "IKEA guy from Sweden drives an old car while Donald Trump sits on a throne in America and that's why Sweden is better" when he himself drives a fancy car. AND I could pick one person from the US too to argue against his point. I could say, "WELL, Mark Zuckerberg drives an old car and he's rich and American, so THERE!"
Anyway, to each their own! I am from the US and don't like many things here either. In the end I suppose there are better things for me to do with my time than wonder about the motivations behind some celebrity's interview. Haha!
Thank you for replying! Have a good day.

this is reply of the previous comment, "Brits are affectionate, have u ever met one"?!?
I SOOO AGREE!! Though I have met a few 'warm' Britons, as a whole, they are very very reserved!
( and trust, I have spent a HUGE amount of time in England! )
just thought I'd put my penny inTHANKS FOR THIS DIALOGUE!
