Intelligence? Talent? No, the ultra-rich got to where they're thru luck & brutality

Quote from syswizard:

Paris Hilton ?

She makes 6 million per year on her own. She has/had books (bestseller), parfume, bag designer line, jewelry line, modeling, films, music CD, TV show.

She also threw in a free sextape, just for your pleasure.

Hard working girl, I say... I bet you are not that multitalented... :)
 
Quote from syswizard:

Paris Hilton ?

He said "most" wealthy work for it. All the airheaded celebs + worthless fund managers + other "lucky" rich = a tiny, tiny fraction of all the wealthy people.

Also, some celebs may not really be talented musicians/actors/etc. but have actually worked very hard and are very clever at marketing. Gene Simmons comes to mind. Technically, he's not a great bass player, but is a smart businessman who avoided drug abuse and other traps that could've destroyed his wealth.
 
Quote from tradin4profits:

"... too many lazy dishonest people with no morals want everything handed to them.

They all should have known and lived by my Grandpa's Wisdom...

"The world doesn't owe you a living. Make something of yourself".

"If you plan on eating, you gotta work"...

Of course, those were the days before politicos bought people's votes with other people's money.

I wonder whether she is really talented or just capitalizing on her name and fame... ??

We may never know for sure (why should we care, anyway?)... but if people are buying her stuff for whatever reason, more power to her.

Sigh...



Everybody better than me at football is cheating when the referee isn't looking.

Everybody better than me at Halo is hacking.

Everybody better than me at Olympic fill-in-the-blank is on steroids or bribed the judges.

Everybody with better grades than me is a teacher's pet or got the answer key in advance.

Everybody getting laid more than me is slipping them roofies.

Everybody wealthier than me stepped on the backs of the poor or merely got lucky.

Interesting observation.
Heck, if I made a sex tape, no one would buy it !
In fact, everyone says I'm too old for sex....but I still get that "tumescent glow" in the morning.
(BTW: that was from a movie line...anyone remember it ?).
 
Quote from Humpy:

Well they are too grand to get their hands dirty doing some work and just the mention of a bit help in one's business start-up and they are gone in a cloud of dust !

If you are gonna make a friend make sure he is poorer than you.


Remind me never to befriend you... Do you always hit on the people close to you ??

:(
 
Quote from StarDust9182:

There are similar stats on website posters, why should banks get a free ride.

Did you know that 81.4% of statistics are made up on the spot with no facts at all behind them!

Did you know that 3 out of 2 people have trouble with fractions?:p
