This article is part voyeur, part envy-fest.

I don't understand the envy part. He's spending that money--which means it goes to salesmen, workers, contractors, unions, etc. He's re-distributing his wealth just like they all want him to.

Now they're mad at him for it?

Narcissists strike out in envious rage when their fragile self-view of personal greatness is challenged. Larry Ellison's self-made $17 billion refutes their personal second-coming-of-god beliefs. It does not matter if the narcissist has a life of luxury, or that others spend their money in ways that benefit them. What upsets them is that someone somewhere has it a little better. It's not fair! The number one solution to this anger is to regulate and tax those with more, which mostly means more regulations and taxes on those working hard to get ahead.

Envy is very contagious and can afflict entire geographic regions. If conservatives can come up with the solution to the sin of envy, we can solve the problem of leftism.
