I've seen the light. I'm going to start bragging about a place I don't live too.

So you can brag about Eric's dong and live vicariously through him.

Proof in case why the rich should be taxed more, and the obscenely rich should be taxed a lot more. They won't do anything on their own to help their fellow people. How many Indians are going to bed hungry, or don't have a bed, to start with? Yet here is a man who is so filthy rich, that he can't p*ss it away anymore, so he builds this monstrosity with one mirror in every room where he can admire himself.

My proposal, worldwide:

Tax rate on incomes from $500,000 to $1,000,000 . . . 50%;

Tax rate on incomes from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 . . .90%;

Tax rate on incomes from $2,000,00 and up . . . . . . . . . . 99%.

That's still more than enough money to live like a King (or Queen) and would encourage investing instead of hording.

You should pay attention more to what Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have been doing lately. They are traveling the world talking with the ultra rich trying to convince them to give half their fortunes to charity. Surprisingly most of these ultra rich are signing up. In fact Warren Buffett himself has donated 98% of his 50 billion dollar wealth to charity on his death.

Who has signed up besides Buffett and Gates? Just curious.

They keep pretty quiet about it to protect people, but 125 Billion here in America

And recently they just returned from a meeting with China's ultra rich and had pledges for another 30 billion and I am trying to find that link now, it was in Chinadaily not to long ago. Jet Li was one of the attendees.

Here is their actual website set up for the campaign called the Givingpledge

I like that Barron Hilton has pledged, So sorry Paris you are going to have to work after daddy dies.

Sounds good. Now give me 99% of your $2k.

Urban Legends Surround Mukesh Ambani’s ‘Most Expensive’ Home

Like the legendary island that it is supposedly named for, billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s massive new home, Antilia, seems to have a lot of myth and misinformation swirling around it.

The latest surge in interest in the 27-story home that towers over Mumbai’s toniest neighborhood, was triggered after a local report that India’s richest man would at last be holding a house warming party and puja on Oct. 28.

Papers and websites, (including this blog), from Singapore to Scotland used the report as a reason dig up all the old “facts” on the vertical mansion, which looks at first glance like an unstable stack of books. Unfortunately, according to people familiar with the building and the party, many have been getting the details wrong.

The party isn’t until Nov. 28, the home won’t have 600 servants as has been frequently reported for years and the building isn’t worth billions (though if you divided it into separate apartments, sold every square foot at the going rate and the rate was not affected by this hypothetical tsunami of new luxury spaces in that neighborhood, it might sell for that much). One report even suggested that the building may not actually be called Antilia.

...

And of course not all the reports are false. In addition to unimpeded views of the city and the Arabian Sea, the building has the helipads, home theater, gym, gardens and pool that every self-respecting billionaire requires.

She does work. She has a business empire that will still be rampant once daddy dies.
