The 2009 "400 Richest Americans" list has been released by Forbes, and techies continue to do well in the rankings. Bill Gates stayed on top, but the list shows that the global recession robbed loads of cash even from the ultra-rich.

No doubt life is tough at the top of the heap. Very sad.
It's just too much to put up with when one suffers such losses.
I too, share your pain lemur.

Yep, it's all relative. The more you have, the more you are likely to lose when things go pear shaped. That hurts.I'm down $7

I really like your sig.
The thing is that if your that rich, You'd wonder how many times someone is going to rob you/plant a bomb in your house. You couldn't just have a simple house on the beach, you would have to have barbed wire around the edge. In some ways being rich is good and others bad.
