If someone handed me $100 million today, I’d give it back in a heartbeat

I can relate to that. I would do the same thing as well.

(but I would charge a 10% handling fee)

Anyone who fails to firewall off a fortune so there is a rainy day fund is Uber stupid. Dumber than a box of rocks.

What I’d love would be for some stupidly rich person to read this type of article, and then send someone down with a 100 million dollar money order and just see what happens. Thing is, no one who has that much money is that stupid.

I know what’ll happen, same as the hypothetical rich person; they’ll cash the check, go right back to ‘easy street’ and be ‘one of the 1% once again’ and make a couple paltry contributions to charity.

Anyone who claims they’ll refuse money is almost always lying.

Ummm... The top 1% of earners make a lot less then $1m/yr and have a net worth well below $100m

Of course, this article could be one of the first to transition from identifying taxable groups by income to taxing them by wealth.

Hanging out with the uber-wealthy was dull and empty


maybe that’s because this woman is dull and empty.

if I had a $100 million I would have many adventures, do charity and still be at peace with myself.

I would prolly stay at the Ritz and order a $25 hamburger...just for the expperience and that money spent is used to create hotel jobs...win-win!

“You know, we’re going to have to get rid of the helicopter.”
