She's hot in a world where this is hot:

Everyone is entitled to their own sexual opinions, but when graded on a curve of American CEOs, judged by American hetero men, she's hot.

http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-businessmen/ceos/john-mcafee-net-worth/ and http://www.therichest.org/celebnetworth/celebrity-business/ceo/john-mcafee-net-worth/ both say hes worth $4m but don't give a date.
I hope he's got enough left. Either way hes a smart guy so i'm sure he'll land on his feet.

Man, I wish Steve Jobs had "ripped me off" to the tune of a 100 million dollar net worth.

This explains why Woz spends his days eating top ramen from a reused plastic bowl night after night in his stinking 1-room flat with a leaking roof, crippled with pneumonia and gout because he can't afford medical care, just waiting for death, so his cats can begin eating him from the extermities inward.

Poor, poor Woz. He might have had an amazing future, if Steve Jobs hadn't fucked him over.

Oh no that's right, he made all his money on the "Wheels of Zeus" vaporware, didn't he? You know, the company he founded that was free of that evil Jobsian taint, that cemented his reputation as a man who really knew how to build a product and bring it to market!

Woz is a smart guy. He's not a businessman, or a "product" guy. Jobs didn't 'rip him off,' Jobs helped him build a product that was massively successful. Without Jobs, it's likely that Woz would have been just another asshole at HP who dicked around with some hardware in his spare time and then died in obscurity. This doesn't mean that Jobs could do no wrong, or that he always engaged in ethical business practices - but without Jobs, there's no Woz, and without Woz, there's no Jobs.

You mean these outstanding actors?

Odds are you have heard her, but didn't know who it was a the time as she has been performing for a several decades now and has done some extremely high profile events.

That said though, if she really did pay $51M for a ticket to space then there is a not insignificant chance that she is spending almost all of her fortune as it is only estimated to be around $52M.

Uh Elon is not a billionarie.

Citation: Elon Musk Estimated Net Worth: $2B. American engineer, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Elon Musk, has an estimated net worth of $2 billion as of March 2012 according to Forbes rich list.

Sounds like a billionaire to me... but maybe not a billionarie?

the quintessential disrupted producer, complaining about how the world is not conforming to the way they want it to be, or worse yet, the way the world "should" be.

I'm sure the exact same essay was written somewhere upon the development of the phonograph. "but how will we get paid if they can play back our music a thousand times once it has been recorded?" probably the same argument, too, by playhouse actors when recording movies came along.

the artists/actors might not like it, but the development of technology drives down the price, massively opens the market up, and, if they're smart, allows them to make more money than their predecessors could ever have dreamed of.

writing letters complaining about how people are not paying enough to you is just so 1842.

"how do you go about removing monarchy???" "the monarchy is just a tradition"

well fuck, sounds like you could just cut the flow of money and leave them off to live whatever wealth they already accumulated, paying taxes on their profits from whatever business they turn their cash into.

doesn't effect tourism much, imho either. the place would be a tourist attraction anyhow, because of the history. and if the monarchs had to actually work for that tourism money they might bring more of it to britain.

but this article doesn't really reveal anything anyways nor does the speech - "queen gives a scheduled speech written by government that goes blablablabla" would have been an apt title, free speech meaning nothing in the context. if she had written her own speech where she would have sworn to uphold secrecy of correspondence, then THAT would be real news, now she is just throwing that away and saying she'll uphold free speech laws which are inequal about who can say who fucked who - literally.

With a half billion dollars, if she can't pay for her lifestyle herself, she should sell some properties. http://www.therichest.org/celebnetworth/politician/royal/queen-elizabeth-net-worth/

CompUSA didn't fail, Carlos Slim (the then private owner) wanted to liquidate because it wasn't improving as fast as he would have liked. In retrospect, it may have been a good choice since he's now the richest guy in the world.
