She can do whatever she wants with it as far as I'm concerned. I'd hope that she won't do something stupid like give it to the UN, but she earned it.
Yeah, I noticed the same thing. That second photo of her at the beach is rather unflattering. In the other two she looks quite good.
As for what she spends her money on: who cares? She earned it, she can spend it how she like.
She's English. She'd probably burst into flame coming within 15 feet of a tanning bed bulb.
I know for a fact that Hemingway never frolicked. Fitzgerald may have frolicked a little, but kept his shirt on. T.S. Eliot, Thomas Mann, and DH Lawrence wouldn't be caught dead frolicking.
One thing that's kind of weird - if you get fabulously rich in the arts, people don't get that upset with you, but if you make that kind of money as a business executive, all hell breaks loose, even here on FR.
Sports and entertainment threads always generate those type of response. I'm sure that by the time I post this there will either be a, "Harry Potter is the devil," or a, "What's a Harry Potter?" reply-- if not both.
well it's her money......
Don't forget the band he's in with Ridley Scott and Dave Barry. I would LOVE to see them.
I haven't read the whole article but all I can say is:
She earned it.
It's her money
She can do what she wants with it.
More power to her!
I noticed however, that you neglected to mention Oscar Wilde and Truman Capote.
I'm just sayin' is all.
I'm sure she has done that a hundred-fold just in sales taxes.....

If you get fabulously rich in the arts you automatically attract the wrath/envy/gossip of others in the arts. A broke artist has lots of friends, but rich ones have very, very few friends. However, if you made your money in business, artists love you -- you're a potential "collector."
Jane Austen frolicked, but her definition of "frolicking" encompassed sipping warm tea and needlepointing. (It was a more low-key time then.)
LOL!
I'm very disappointed, I must say. 75 posts in and no one's proclaimed us all SINNERS for reading those vile tomes.
I guess they haven't finished their morning prayers...
Ok, I'll do it. Harry's the devil. Uncle Vernon was one of the horcruxes until the Little Winging Homeowners Association declared that housing part of the Dark Lord's soul was a zoning violation. Petunia's big secret is that she was once a Sun Page 3 girl, but was never asked back. And I think Snape is gay, and had a crush on James Potter. Let's see someone top that.
Ha! I actually saw Capote frolick once! Despite his whole "look at me, I'm gay" act, he was still a country boy. Even out of shape he was a strong swimmer.
Fitzgerald was for sure a frolicker. He and Zelda did all kinds of wild things in their day.
