It isn’t hard to be a dollar millionaire these days.

I didn’t find it very illuminating. Especially when perpetuating the myth about “losing” money in divorces.

I think the fine print is: wait with the expensive divorces until you've at least graduated to billionaire. For lowly millionaires, it's a no go.

I suppose Habit 4 (Live Below Their Means) is far easier for a millionaire than for any working soul…

I couldn't care less about the habits of millionaires. Their lust for accumulation is not something that interests me.

But currently I am enjoying the public spectacle of bastard princes, egged on by Californian gold-diggers, giving all their unearned, undeserved squillions to lawyers who are more than happy to fight battles on their behalf through the courts, to resolve issues that nobody cares about and that don't matter. At least we are entertained.
