A friend of mine, who recently retired and sold his accounting firm, was asked what net worth must one have to actually be considered rich. Answer: $50 Million.

What?!?! Your friend and I must define "rich" differently.One can have a nice house (on two-thirds of an acre) in Greenwich,CT...drive a Mercedes S Class...eat sirloin every night....and fly business class to far off places with a net worth far less than that.Those things,of course,being *my* definition of "rich".

Benson was good at being vague mostly.

Early on it seemed that Gov. Gatling was a dim.

Sometimes Benson sounded like a fairly conservative person on screen.

Miss Kraus was my favorite, she was funny as the tough as nails German. Inga Swenson had a fair singing career.

I only know he did taxes and corpoate accounting for numerous wealthy folks, and $50 Large is what HE said.

I can’t believe no one wants to save the Magnum PI mansion.

The Benson mansion is nice.

In my best (albeit awful) Ms. Kraus “I hear you”.

Thanks for the link.

Always loved that car.

A bit out of my price range though.

I had a matchbox one as a kid.

Terrible. I’m also surprised that no one wants Robin’s Nest.

Benson: Yes.
