If I had 10 million dollars I would live on my own private island (something around 100 acres would be perfect, Northern US or Canada would be good location for me. Could probably get 100 acre island for under 1 mil. I would build a castle also.

Just to piss people off, I would complain all the time about having to take a ferry to get anywhere!

I doubt you could get a private island for 1 million dollars

It astounds me that lots of people who make millions are dumb as a rock:( I can't see how she fails to see a solution to this problem.

you cant expect someone to move out of there town.

The first thing you expect when rich is you think you can live BETTER in the town your currently at.

:\


The whole story is about inflation. And how bad its got.


i have clients who were litterally millionares overnight. And they all share the same common story with this lady. With more income comes more taxes and other things.

This thread is kind of depressing! Not because this woman is complaining...its because it makes me think there might not be a god. I have to assume if there is a god, every time this woman opened her mouth he would blow a hole in her skull with a lightning bolt.

She needs to move, $1mil would buy her a mansion in many parts of the country, and there is no shortage of cheap Mexican labor to wait on her hand and foot. :p

I have no sympathy for her, did she really expect to flip a tiny dot-com and become an ultra-super millionaire overnight? The extremely wealthy have been working their entire lives to claw their way up the corporate ladder or are drawing on family wealth that has accumulated over generations.

So how much is she still bringing in, after taxes? I mean...isn't the highest tax bracket 35%...I have no idea what kind of taxes you pay when selling a businesss...capital gains tax I assume.

I find it hard to believe she's got it that bad. Move out to the midwest and build your castle.

That reminds me, some fucker actually did move up here and build a castle to live in!

If she doesn't want to do something about her situation she should stop bitching about it. No one wants to hear someone worth millions whine about being worth only millions. I was making decent money living in California, but still couldn't afford a house. You know what I did? I moved to where I could afford a house. She lives in one of the most expensive cities in the world. Deal with it, or stop bitching about what you can't afford with your millions.

I don't think the story or the woman was trying to get sympathy. I think it was more about how $10 million doesn't make one Super Rich.
