I often wonder if these people are truly happy with their lives when they go to bed at night. I know Donald Trump didn't make the list, but every time I see him, he just doesn't look happy. So maybe all that money doesn't make them happy. Just makes ya wonder.
But it truly baffles my mind that one woman's epiphany on a train about a boy wizard has generated a billion dollars. Founding Microsoft - OK I can see how that gets you 46 billion. No one had done it beofre.
But people have been writing for thousands of years. And many many books have been turned into movies- it just blows my mind. I think its great, don't get me wrong. And I am one of the first in line to read the lates installment or see the movie but man its just flabergasting!!
I guess if JRR Tolkien had written the LOTR trilogy in modern times he probably would have become a billionaire too. Return of the King just topped $1billion at the box office.
Now if only I could invent something really cool...
I am not on it but used to baby sit for 47 and 48 (i think) the Pritzkers... I didnt know they were that rich... they sure didnt pay me much for baby sitting... I think 2 bucks and hour....
