"I've never understood why anyone cares about what anyone else has made for themselves."

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.

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."
