It always struck me as bizarre that so many newly wealthy celebrities cannot figure out the simple calculus of setting aside 15% of their income in stable investments, in case things go bad.

Truely bizarre. Many do figure it out and live long and prosper. Many do not.

Calculus? Heck, that's not much more than advanced arithmatic.

I’m no financial advisor, but my guess is that it has something to do with the fact that he’s completely bat-sh&$ crazy

I’ve wondered the same. But I’ve come to realize that many celebrities really do think they are better than the rest of us - better, smarter, above us, etc.

I’d like to think that if I had ever become a celebrity, I would thank my lucky stars and realize just how lucky I was to hit the celebrity lottery...because lets face it, most of these celebrities are nothing special - just had a lucky break. But who knows, maybe I’d be a fool too.
