Good for them. Just so they understand that there are no luggage racks on caskets.

Yep. I grossed over nine million one year in my working life. But that was in yen. Still, it wasn’t too shabby.

I’ve still got a 1 million Lira note from Turkey. The value at the time was about $1. There are some wealthy people in Turkey, so I imagine that there were several Trillionaires at the time.

I remember growing up when a "millionaire" really meant something. When I was a kid, my mental image of a millionaire was that guy from the Monopoly game. You know, the guy with the top hat and tuxedo. With a butler answering the door and a private limo to take you everywhere.
Or Richie Rich from the comic books!
I never knew then that I would grow up and become a "millionaire" myself. If you told me that 40 years ago, I'd be jumping up and down for joy. Yet here I am a millionaire - at least on paper and in terms of net worth if you add up my home equity value and 401(k). Yet I still have to get up and go to work everyday to pay the bills and I don't have a butler either (I do have a loyal dog). I even have to shine my own shoes!

I suspect the obamas are already there.
