theresa113 0 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 lol at the divorce rate on that list....16/50? That is much better than the national average. I only noticed 2 to be single and many of the older ones are widowed. Link to post Share on other sites
Southern Buddhist 1 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 People never seem to know this, but Warren Buffett lived openly in a three-way relationship for decades. He, his wife, and his mistress lived together, vacationed together, and sent Christmas cards signed, "Warren, Susie, and Ingrid." Susan Buffett died a couple years ago, so I guess he has an opening.Everyone in Omaha was pretty blase about it, and somehow the media never made a frenzy over it.Kicked him up several notches in my book of cool.

He gets love for his stock philosophy, but not for being so utterly awesome. Link to post Share on other sites

I only noticed 2 to be single and many of the older ones are widowed.didnt read them all, but most of the top 10 have moved on. How much of that was due to drowning in money?

He is very odd and yet very impressive.he gave the bulk of his assets up (was it $30 mill or so) a few years ago to charity after he diesthats pretty kool...but im guessing his kids werent as thrilled Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Thank God. Just like Entertainment Tonight, I need to know that the richest people in the world are doing OK. It's always a heartache to hear they're going through stuff millions of others do, only they are doing it much more publically and with way more money. I just don't know how they get through the day sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites

GeneralGeeWhiz 0 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I did a pointless math equation after I heard how much Warren made in 2007, one of his best years iirc. he made enough to buy 15 brand new Ferrari's an hour, or around 3 million an hour. sigh i wish i made $3,000,000 an hour.

Rather, it was a global swipe at how wrapped up so many people have become with celebs and such. It's just a grotesque irony of life that those of us who are not wealthy are inclined to spend our hard earned time and money supporting the paparazzi industry, like ET, who falsely protray themselves as a "news" show, when it's all just promotion and a way to keep the $$$ cycling upwards to those who already have plenty. It's what is wrong about capitalism.You, Teresa, are entitled to have a crush on Bill Gates. Heck, he probably has a big dick, too, to go along with those billions.Also, it may surprise most here that I am actually quite light-hearted and irreverant when all is said and done. Quite the opposite of the doom and gloom anger I unleash in some threads. Link to post Share on other sites

There was a point before Sam Walton died that he was making like $1000/second.When he died his fortune was divided equally to 5 kids. All 5 were in the top 10 richest in the world for the next 15 years. (The 4 still living are all still in the top 15) Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, John D Rockafeller's zombie would probably be number one, if he was still around Link to post Share on other sites
