Whether it's Dolly Parton, The Rolling Stones, or Tony Bennett these entertainers seldom retire.
Just like politicians they seem unable to just walk away from the spotlight and quietly enjoy
their wealth. It's a staggering ego that fears the idea of being irrelevant.
I saw an ad for Pfizer the other day featuring the ubiquitous Martha Stewart.
How much more money does that woman need at her age?
The really strange thing I've learned about very wealthy people I've met in my life
is that the majority of them don't seem to enjoy their wealth. In fact they worry more
about money than the poorest people I've known.
Greed has always been with us but this society has taken what was always been considered
a sin and turned it into a virtue.
