All good fun, but not overly exciting with it.
Apart from the fact that the list is largely bollocks (a lot of folk with a billion in something or other also have debts of two billion), most of the money has been made by selling something arse numbingly dull. Stan Snot, made billions manufacturing bingo cards or some such. What happened to the robber barons of yester year who transported slaves to the Lancashire cotton mills where they made smallpox blankets that Jimmy Fisk's railways would transport and sell to the Sioux? We live in dull times |

40 years ago a rich guy had a few million dollars. Now even some dumfuck Kardashian is a billionaire. Yet you and I must still work for a modest income.
Something's a bit suspicious here.

And some poor people from certain countries come to the west and within two generations they’re millionaires. I see it all the time. A mate of mine is on track for that. He was poor but he saved everything he got, when he graduated his degree in a not so prestigious college he searched every state and got an entry level public service job on the other side of the country. Now he’s got a very handsome salary and is well regarded in his field and is barely 30. Same with all of the doctors who’s parents were poor asian refugees. The opportunity is still there, many of us (myself included) just have a sense of entitlement. |

Yes, an Indian immigrates to the U.S. and becomes a millionaire. He doesn't make billions though.
Kim Kardashian is just using her fame to sell cosmetics. And she's mostly famous because her father probably helped OJ Simpson kill his wife.
We live in a sick society. Time to dust off the guillotine and chop a few heads.

If you want to be rich you have to work for it. Kim K depilates her bottom and it isn’t small. It would take all day. |
