The truth is, however rich people get, they hate paying tax. Some live abroad for a year, or years at a time just to avoid it. Bizarre really - desperate economic migrants are driven to leave their homeland because of poverty; tax exiles are driven overseas by their wealth.
You can never become rich unless you like rich people.
I've never known a lot of rich people. It's not my bag.
Obama seems to want to do something to damage rich people.
I have nothing against rich people. In fact, I've been struggling most of my life to join them.

Rich people think BIG. Poor people think small.
Is capitalism really about the ability of a handful of rich people to manipulate the lives of thousands of people and then walk off with the money?
The primary difference between rich people and poor people is how they handle fear
Rich people believe 'I create my life.' Poor people believe 'Life happens to me.'
Rich people take advice from people who are richer than they are. Poor people take advice from their friends, who are just as broke as they are.
While other rich people might be like, "Once I'm rich I'm going to go on a vacation to wherever," but instead they just keep wanting to be more rich. It just seems like it would be fun to do whatever you wanted. If I were really rich I would be flying places, I think.

Other people, including me, have written books with main characters who were old and rich. Or old and brilliant. Old sages, old wizards, old rich people.
Hedge funds are investment pools that are relatively unconstrained in what they do. They are relatively unregulated (for now), charge very high fees, will not necessarily give you your money back when you want it, and will generally not tell you what they do. They are supposed to make money all the time, and when they fail at this, their investors redeem and go to someone else who has recently been making money. Every three or four years they deliver a one-in-a-hundred year flood. They are generally run for rich people in Geneva, Switzerland, by rich people in Greenwich, Connecticut.
When I was growing up, you were supposed to marry and therefore didn't plan ahead. Planning ahead is one of the few reliable measures of class in the sense that rich people plan for generations forward and poor people plan for Saturday night, and by that measure, women have been lower class. We were less likely to plan ahead because we're more likely to think that who we marry and our children are going to dictate our plans.
Rich people manage their money well. Poor people mismanage their money well.
Rich people collect land. Poor people collect bills.
Rich people are the experimental ground for every new development. The nature of progress is that what begins as a luxury for the rich becomes a necessity for the poor as it's developed and passed on.

We're special because dreams that are impossible anywhere else, come true here.
