But I'd rather cry in a Ferrari.
This should be interesting.
This fellow is in the perfect position to provide us all with a "teachable moment..."
“I don’t care about losing all the money.....it’s losing all the stuff.” -
Bernadette Peters (The Jerk)
There was a very interesting study done years ago about human satisfaction and money.
It basically concluded that the ABSENCE of money can cause DISSATISFACTION but the presence of money did not necessarily create satisfaction.
I agree with that assessment since I have experienced both.
Money can’t buy happiness.
<<>>
But it can rent most anything I need.
No, money cannot buy happiness.
However, it does make being miserable a lot more comfortable. :)
No.
Happiness springs from love.
I’ll take Jon Huntsman over a Rockefeller any day...........Following his recent death, Fox did a tribute to him. He was quite a guy and the cancer hospital he built in Salt Lake City is a testament to his philanthropy.....
LOL! Yeah, ask someone like the rocks or pelosis or kennedys or kerrys if being wealthy is just okay. Okay, or bushes or koch bros or limbaughs
A wise old man once told me...”Happiness can’t buy money”.
money buys a certain type of SECURITY
that’s it.
No kidding. It is horrible not to know if you can pay your electric bill or even eat the next meal. People do it everyday. It causes a lot of health problems. However, I don’t see how people with 400 million or more are any happier then a person with a million. In fact, anyone making 140K a year or more are happy as they do not have to worry about next meal, paying rent or other necessities. So overall happiness can be found in wealth.
All these wealthy “philosophers”, especially those who inherited or criminally obtained it, have a sure fire way to answer their troubling existential questions. Mr. Rockefeller can give it away, give it all away, live on his own non privileged earnings and experience a real life experience.
“Before entering the family business, he explains, “I spent 20 years clarifying who I was philosophically, artistically and in terms of my competencies as a manager and chairman.”
I think that HE thinks that he really struggled to prove himself,a guy that never had to struggle for a damned thing in his entire life.

Whether it does or not, Chelsea Clinton can't bring herself to worry about it.
The general reader might recognize the stench of a Leftist hack from the Financial Times grinding out another hate piece drawn from the depths of his own envy and inadequacy.
As if Edge-Cliff "Tiny" Johnson wouldn't sell his soul in and instant to trade places with Rockefeller, or for that matter President Trump.
It’s not the “stuff” that money can buy that makes it important, but the security and freedom that having a lot of money can offer provided that the money is responsibly managed.
LOL! Kinda like the h-wood stars that spend a week disguised as homeless so they’ll KNOW what it’s like. Knowing they’d be back in B Hills shortly. Film crew shooting from afar so they can tell the tale of how brutal it was.
