Re: The Difference Between Michael Douglas and You
[ QUOTE ]
We're missing the main point here... Catherine Zeta-Jones is hot. Michael Douglas is not. Michael Douglas has an excessive amount of money. So does Catherine Zeta-Jones. She most likely didn't marry him for the money. Logic would therefore dictate that all other things being equal, we'd all have a shot at her too, since she's presumably not marrying him for the money. So... what's the X-factor? HOW DID THIS GUY PULL IT OFF? [/ QUOTE ] Yes she's rich, but he's uber rich. Even millionaires want a piece of a billionaire. Plus, I'm sure he's one of the most charismatic people you'd ever meet.

Apparently the guy is only worth something like a measly quarter-billion. Either way, he's grotesquely rich and very powerful in Hollywood.

[/ QUOTE ] Very true. Wealthy women marry the richest guy they can get as a matter of course. It's hard to see from here, but there's a huge difference between wealth and great wealth and fabulous wealth. There's the wealth that buys a Rolls and the wealth that goes to work in a helicopter, the wealth that spends 20 grand on a vacation and the wealth that spends it at a nightclub. The people at the bottom end of that scale look at the top end of it the same way poor people look at people with a few million. Even the people in the middle can't spend and show off and live anywhere near the way the guys at the top can. I used to work with an heir to the Seagrams fortune. His family owned European CASTLES, fer crissake. It takes a helluva lot more than an oscar or five to have that kind of money to throw around.

Re: The Difference Between Michael Douglas and You
A friend of mine used to work for Eli Broad, reportedly the richest man in California. One of his jobs was briefing the press each year on his personal wealth. The first year he went in and asked Mr. Broad if he could go down the list. Mr. Broad said go ahead. First item was property.
"Put down 4," said Mr. Broad. "4?" asked my friend? "Yeah, 4," said Broad. My friend was embarrassed to ask but when he left the office he got confirmation that the numbers Broad was throwing out were billions. So $4 billion for property alone.
