We should keep in mind
Business Week caters to a upper class segment readership. The article was written with them in mind. Ask yourself how many Joe Six Pack readers browse that publication. Now don't get me wrong - if any of us won the lottery, we might just like to sample the lifestyle of the rich and famous. But I wouldn't want to live that way, since for me, wealth is about putting an end to every day worries, not about conspicuous consumption. At the same time, that means different things to other people. I'm glad we live in a country where every one has their own idea of what attaining the American Dream means to them.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
