etc. etc. etc. - CaviMike, on 12/27/2008, -0/+1122 pages for 20 things? And here I thought websites were making forward progress.
- omjeremy, on 12/27/2008, -0/+6That article format SUCKS.
Not only are there 22 pages, but for the next button to work, the entire page has to load. - dngermouse, on 12/26/2008, -1/+7This article was "meh" for me (not 1 page, but 22), Until I saw Grand Theft Auto's Michael Hollick, I actually feel sorry for the guy.
- inhaler, on 12/27/2008, -0/+6Summary: Everyone lost abunch of money, even rich people. Rich people are still rich though.
- fak3r, on 12/27/2008, -0/+5Make that 21 losers, they forget my 401k account
- NuttyVirus, on 12/27/2008, -0/+4Losers who yet still have millions...... ***** man i want to be a loser.
- inactive, on 12/27/2008, -0/+4if you make 30k a year and loose half of it because your 401k hit the fan you have to work until you die.
if you make 300k a year and loose half of it because of one bad business decision, you sell your business.
if you make 3m a year and loose half of it because constant carelessness you... can't buy that new Ferrari this year? - inactive, on 12/26/2008, -1/+5Let's hope they do have a good year in 2009...although it doesn't seem that likely. This recession is likely to get worse.
- tikal2k, on 12/27/2008, -0/+4Can somebody just list all 20 things somewhere instead of all this clicking and banner reading?
- Betrayal, on 12/27/2008, -0/+3And why should we have pity with them? (i mean the celebrities and rich people)
- rittz, on 12/27/2008, -0/+3Take a chill pill jerry
- inactive, on 12/27/2008, -0/+3"It's hypothetical money unless you cash in."
Isn't that the same as saying money has hypothetically value unless you exchanged it for goods and services?
Or am I wrong? - Orchid64, on 12/27/2008, -1/+4Isn't it the case that a lot of the wealthy people mentioned like Rupert Murdoch, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates pretty much lost "imaginary money" in the form of depreciated stock? They can just as easily get it back when the dust settles, provided that none of their investments tank entirely.
My brother-in-law invested only in Apple (because he's a fool and is too arrogant to diversify) and boasted that he'd "made" $8,000 the first year, but he didn't make anything as he never sold the stock and collected the money. Now, he's lost nothing as the stock is back to the price he bought it at, but has made nothing. It's hypothetical money unless you cash in.
Scoff at CDs and savings accounts, but I got $5000 to his $8K and it's real. - inactive, on 12/27/2008, -0/+2What's wrong with that exactly? considering that half the content on the front page of Digg is over a year old...
- TimDigg, on 12/27/2008, -0/+2Did anyone read the top 20 money winners?
the guy who only got 100k for the 1700 year old persian gold cup got ripped off... - clickwir, on 12/27/2008, -0/+2That article format SUCKS.
Not only are there 22 pages, but for the next button to work, the entire page has to load.
I tried loading 3 pages, what a waste. Why do I continue to bother with "NEXT>" buttons on webpages. I should just know by now, if you see a list and it requires you to click "NEXT>" (or even worse, if it starts switching for you!), just close the tab and forget about it. - FreckleEars, on 12/27/2008, -0/+2Buired not only for not being on one page, but on a really slow web server, AND being a really ***** list.

That is it. - cowsgonemadd3, on 12/28/2008, -0/+2Wash your mouth out with soap jerry.
- Spudster, on 12/28/2008, -0/+2Yeah Jerry, are you a graduate student in economics or are you always just an *****?
- Mizzark, on 12/27/2008, -0/+1The drain is too small for the money to go down..btw
- Digger1123, on 12/26/2008, -1/+2The new related by keyword thing is crap. It is giving me stories from 40 months ago.
- inactive, on 12/27/2008, -0/+1poor niko. Him and Roman will always be in my mind.
- Spudster, on 12/28/2008, -0/+1Yeah the GTA4 one was stupid. Everyone knew it was going to be a big hit and as a result, he carried little bargaining power to force them to give him a chunk of the royalties. Voice and character actors are pretty expendable if you ask me.
- Spudster, on 12/28/2008, -0/+1I think it should be clarified that they have assets, not real cash. But then again, all wealth is relative to the current conditions of the market. Inflation, product devaluation, etc will all change the longterm value of anything.
- inactive, on 12/27/2008, -0/+1Oh, and I thought I lost money because of inflation and taxes.
- Enlightenment, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1http://digitalcommons.uconn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cg ...
- globalthreat, on 12/29/2008, -0/+1Why can't all these celebrities who've made hundreds of millions of dollars just invest the money and live off the interest? 100,000,000 at 4% interest is 4 million a year. How can you go bankrupt like that?
- cowsgonemadd3, on 12/28/2008, -0/+1And load twice....
- inactive, on 12/27/2008, -0/+1Yea, after my 401k went down by 50%, I posted a scathing comment on Digg! take that! You can kill us carelessly, take away our rights and raid our retirement for your corporate parties, but don't censor my internet!
- wwwforexsigcom, on 12/27/2008, -0/+0Everyone from the middle class to wall street gurus have lost money.
- shadowtriforce7, on 12/27/2008, -0/+0I wonder how many people Donald Trump has had to fire this year?
- c8ckbl8ck, on 12/28/2008, -0/+0En ballon til mig, en ballon til dig!
A balloon for me, a balloon for you! - LawnMowerKitten, on 12/27/2008, -1/+1Leona Helmsley's dog lost 10 million dollars from it's trust fund this April. Poor pooch has only a meager 2 million to live off of for the next ten years.
- spiderbaby138, on 12/27/2008, -1/+0We're the losers.
http://www.entertonement.com/clips/17794/Warren-Bu ... - inactive, on 12/26/2008, -4/+3Well at least there's some people we can hope for. I don't feel the least bit bad about 99% of the people in finance. At least the rich, greedy ones. Serves them right.
- aufte, on 12/27/2008, -4/+1Oh boohoo, I'll bet you and the American people put up a big fight for it too, right?
- ThunderKitty, on 12/26/2008, -6/+2Very Interesting. Thanks
