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."
Yeah, I guess that makes sense, artists need people with money to sell their stuff to. 'Course, at the same time, most of 'em are leftist moonbats. But then again, socialism needs capitalists just as a parasite needs a host.
