I'm not sure if this is a joke? In case it isn't.

He's a TV character from 30 Rock played by Alec Baldwin.

@yellowc
thanks buddy.
yeah..i dont watch much tv so was clueless.

I thought Bill Gates was #1.

don't for a second believe any of these amounts or that any of these creatures are the richest.

they must be so happy.

Hoarding is a psychological issue. There's really no difference between these people and the guy stuffing his house full of junk.

Depending on how recent this snapshot of wealth is, Bill Gates waffles back and forth between number 1 and number 2 in relation to the price of his Microsoft stock holdings. Recently he went back up to #1 but may have fallen again after the new Xbox was announced.

In NZ, there is a mentality among small business owners referred to as "Boat, bach and BMW". Essentially it states that once kiwi business people make enough money to have a boat, a bach (kiwi slang) and a BMW, they lose interest in expanding their business any further.

The government, lobby groups, economic "think tanks" and so on are always complaining about this.

My response has always been "why?". If I had enough money to live comfortably and buy the little luxuries I want, why on earth would I keep working myself to the bone?

I know some people work because they love what they do and that's cool, but working just so you can have another million or billion or whatever? What's the point?

Think of dollars as score points and life as Pac Man. Whoever has the most points at the end wins.
