theres an interesting article from fortune.com about the new documentary born rich…made by one of their own, jamie johnson of the johnson & johnson family. the documentary, which aired on hbo last nite (didnt catch it…no hbo. poor me) talks to various heirs and heiresses of butt-loads of money. a trump, a bloomberg, a conde nast heir, and a vanderbilt heir…people who eat gold-plated frosted flakes for breakfast. the documentary looks into the lives of the über-rich and try and peel back the glossy veneer to show that they are indeed just like you and me. except for their really big wallets, the yacht parked out back, and never having to worry about financial security that persists in the minds of the vast majority of the population. no really, theyre just like you and me. ok, sarcasm aside…yes they do have completely different things they worry about beyond just the money…but if i were an heir apparent, i dont think id cry about it. its true that money cant buy happiness, but it can buy so many other things to fill in as materialistic substitutes til you find new methods to acquire the aforementioned “happiness.”
on the other end of the ridiculously wealthy spectrum is of course paris hilton. sex tapes aside, im sad to admit that i am actually looking forward to the paris hilton/nicole richie reality show simple life. i think it has something to do with a talentless princess socialite having to shovel roadkill, or spelling out “anal salty weiner bugers” on a sonic sign…ridiculously funny. i still dont think shes worth the air she breathes…but whatever, keep shoveling that stinky pre-hamburger.
