- LegOfLamb, on 10/11/2007, -0/+34If I was super rich, my list of secret habits probably wouldn't include "chronic masturbation" anymore.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+29articles from msnbc are full of nauseating bs. anyone have cliffnotes available for this story?
- Merodoc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20Dugg for irony ("custom-made autobiography").
- aussieaubs, on 10/11/2007, -2/+17dugg for sheer non-relevance to Digg-users lives :)
- slickrocktrail, on 10/11/2007, -2/+17I like the painting.
- masterskill, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16I expected Batman.
:( - TeatimeGrommit, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16I expected more... substance. Like, perhaps, some.
- thestorey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Coke... and coke
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14Cocaine, asian whores, and umm, breaking laws
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Does the article include "disposing of dead hookers"?
- ZippidyDoo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I'm too lazy and don't care enough to read this, someone make a list so those like me know what we're missing! ^_^
- skankyBacon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8That's not irony; it's an oxymoron.
- marklittle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8My father deals with the "Super Rich" on a fairly regular basis - I have met many of them. I think one common habit is being cheap. Almost all of them order a drink and demand a senior discount. If you've got 100+ million in the bank, I would not think that 50cents makes a difference. Although maybe thats why they are rich and I am not?
- Skooma714, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Such hard-hitting undercover journalism, maybe now people will begin to care about Darfur and the refugee crisis there.
...Wait what are we talking about? - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8The 'super-rich' are burning effigies of children, worshiping owls and stealing the bones of Apache chiefs.
- mightyarmenian, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6summary of the article: "It's all about 'being' versus 'having'"
- stacksmasher, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Secrets of the super rich: Get all your money from mommy and daddy so you don't have to earn it, or make it off of the hard work of others by keeping them living just above poverty.
- thesixthdesign, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I feel this article was written in a pretty annoyingly envious and bias point of view.
Why do people bother reading MSNBC news? - cheesegrits, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5There are acouple of ladies here in Augusta, Georgia who make gift baskets for the very rich and famous, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, CEO's etc are some of their clientele. They made a good basket for someone and word spread in a social network that has a minimum of 50 million income for entry. They make a few baskets a week and make a good income. Originality and craftsmanship are what the very rich look for in products, the price is not really a factor.
- p51d007, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Secrets habits of the super rich........NOT hanging around and reading the jealous responses of people who wish they were
rich, but are too lazy to do anything about it. - SomaSynth, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Seriously, I thought I was going to discover the ultra rich sneak out at night to feed the homeless. Turns out the ultra rich buy expensive *****. Good thing I read it, I would've never figured it out.
- knobtwiddler, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3um yea, thats what i'm sayin.
they forgot about the gay satanic sex parties.
and could this piece of tripe have been any longer?
bury as lame, or inaccurate? decisions... hmm - stonebear, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3One of the most common secret habits of the super rich, and the one I find most annoying, is the way they go through my wallet and remove the money from it while I'm sleeping.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Bravo, you don't get wealthy by wasting money, you have to both EARN and SAVE.
- Skooma714, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3If I make it big I'm going to still hang out with my usual friends. The hell with the pretentious, phony rich.
- sgglynn, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2blah blah people that arent me have money blah blah they buy stuff that costs alot blah....
- bshock, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I'm not interested in the general habits of the wealthy -- I want to know specifically who they are and what they are doing, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I want these bastards under a microscope.
Know your enemy. - thegreathal, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I read this article, and it didn't really deliver...so what's the point here? Anything substantial? Designers are being backed by financiers? Uhh...
I...09f911029d74e35bd84156c5635688c0 - DrNoDoze, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I work for a company that caters to the luxury set, and part of our service is to link people up with these types of services. This is not BS.
- wiremonkeymommy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2frugal people are rarely idiots :-)
/but if you find yourself obsessively hoarding junk, living off of squirrels you catch and kill, well then, you're just craaazy - jarjarjanks, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2horrible horrible article. you will be dumber for reading this.
- jen52, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1despite the slightly ridiculous nature of having a book made of your meaningful moments that you yourself didn't write (oh vain mortality!), i found a hopeful aspect in the article: that being rich should be more than about being rich. let us hope the trend deepens beyond personalized linens.
- JimJones, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3i call bs
- bromac, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Of course they're super cheap. I heard a story when I was young about a millionaire handing over a Six-Figure check to his son-in-law, and then going to the store and complaining about the price of apples.
You don't get rich by SPENDING your money, smart guy. - egrumling, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1wide lanes (how luxurious)
A woman to scrub my balls all day
And, finally,
2 chicks at the same time. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1bahahaha
- Enternal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@ p51d007
Wow, pure awesome. You are right. The people who are complaining are either jealous or they see something they see and we don't see but I believe they are mostly just jealous or don't understand some things (hey, even I will not understand somethings since no one is perfect.)
Anyway, let me go into some more depth into certain things. There are also different types of rich people. There are the "rich" people that show off but in fact, they have to work 2 or more jobs to cover up their butt. Those people are quite common if you know where to look. For example, my mom works with these types of people. They buy million dollar houses and show off while they in fact, work at least 2 jobs to try to pay for it and not only that, they always try to bargain with my mom to lower their insurance payment so that they could have more money to pay for their houses or their expensive cars. Those type of people are extrememly cheap. Now, there are another type and those are like the celebrities. They are rich yet they seem to be the type of rich people that society seems to accept and look up upon (not all but a lot). Then, there are the rich that works for their money such as executives. They are the type that people sometimes say that they are overpaid but they earn what they get (again, not all but most).
Now that you know some of the type of rich people (there are probably more types), I sure do that you guys also know there are many type of poor people as well. There are the poor that are at a disadvantage who works really hard but has a hard time looking up. Then, there are the type that does not work and is on welfare who say that people who work are stupid when they could have the government take care of them (dang I hate these type of people because they always calling us stupid because we are not on welfare). And there is the type that is between as well as a variety of others.
What I am trying to say is that we should not just classify the rich as people who goes around "whoring" our money. As there are many type of people, there are many type of rich and poor people as well and not all is the same. My family on my mother's side is from a rich family and yet in the family, there are those who are not good and there are those who are good people who is willing to help others. So please don't just go around start generalizing all rich are the same. Furthermore, a lot of the rich has to start somewhere or at the bottom before they reach the top (Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Robert Bigelow, Christopher Gardner, etc.) If we all try hard and not sit around, maybe we have a chance as well. Even if the chance is little, a chance is a chance. Anyway, dang I wrote a lot. - tpv2066, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Have dinner with George Bush to get their taxes lower...
I think they forgot that one. - Caruthers, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1just for your edification
Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter Gibbons: Good point.
Lawrence: Well, what about you now? what would you do?
Peter Gibbons: Besides two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Well, yeah.
Peter Gibbons: Nothing.
Lawrence: Nothing, huh?
Peter Gibbons: I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing.
Lawrence: Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he's broke, don't do *****. - abxy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Secret Habits Of the Super Rich: ***** whore all your money.
- joe18, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Full article:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19379104/site/newsweek/page/0/ - Enternal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Yeah, you don't waste you money by go and buy a Ferarri (heh, just an example) or a million 500,000 dollar house and work 2 to 3 jobs to pay if off.
- Enternal, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Wait, I am confuse. So if I go to a job interview and I agree to work for 10 dollars per hour. Then I receive my paycheck and it shows my amount of money that I earned minus government taxes, how did the rich steal my money? Did they break into my bank account and take my money? Or I say that the governement is equal to super rich people (government = super rich people like Bill Gates because he runs the country, lol)? Although I thought the government taxes goes into building roads and government projects and stuff like that (although damn they keep losing our tax money).
- Jagdwulfe, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1why 2 chicks at the same time? :)
- Enternal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Those phony rich are everywhere. The genuine rich are different types of people. Hmm.. how should I make it. There are the rich low class and there are the rich high class as well as there is the low low class as well as the low high class.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0why should people pay head to freaks of these "loaded". It triggers jealousy and ... I may envy!.. :D
