On Injury Reserve Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I went to vBookie statistics and saw this, there is no way someone will have this amount of money unless he wins a jackpot but we are talking about 2 billion here, sorry Bitonti but this is very confusing.

Maxman Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Bitonti really has that many points. I would type more but man it really hurts when I sit down today for some reason! Nah, it is a joke. In another thread he said he was going to save up his cvash and buy the jets and make JN the official site. Figured we would give him a head start. I will change it back!

bitonti Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 id prefer if you changed it back - Since i became a billionare my life has lost all meaning. I used to be happy with the little things like a free tootsie roll or finding a winning scratcher ticket on the street. now i can't even be bothered to get out of bed. What's the point??? My life has become a Camus novel. When you can buy everything you find pleasure in nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Injury Reserve Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 yeah it is pretty hard when you have a lot of money, everyone wants to see how do you live and what do you do, rumor is that you can't even go to the bathroom without being bothered, life is better when you just sit in your couch like the cat in my avatar with a beer, watching the jets on TV and no one around to bother, ahhh that is the life. But sometimes having all that money isn't that bad at all you know, when I saw all that money I was wondering, I don't know your age but do you have an 18+ year old daughter?

Yeah, you've got company. http://money.cnn.com/2006/05/04/news/newsmakers/gates.reut/index.htm?cnn=yes Bill Gates wishes he weren't so rich The corporate leader says he doesn't like the attention of being the world's richest man. May 4, 2006: 3:40 PM EDT REDMOND, Wash. (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates said Wednesday he wished he were not the world's richest man. "I wish I wasn't. There is nothing good that comes out of that," said Gates, whose personal fortune sank by billions since last week when the software giant disappointed investors by saying new investments would crimp earnings. The corporate leader who made Microsoft into the world's largest software maker - and who is also one of the biggest philanthropists - is seen as a man who does not like publicity. He explained that he did not like the attention of being the world's richest person. "You get more visibility as a result of it," he said during an interview conducted by CNBC reporter Donny Deutsch in front of a crowd of people attending a Microsoft advertising event. (Watch Bill Gates on CNN Pipeline's CNNMoney Business Update - 1:54) The Microsoft co-founder said that the person he learned most from in the world, aside from technology colleagues, was fellow-billionaire and legendary investor Warren Buffett. "He has this very refreshing, simple way of looking at things so I put him top of the list," said Gates, adding that the top lesson from Buffett was the importance of integrity. Still, Gates joked about his plight being unequaled in wealth. Asked if he surrounded himself with financial peers, he quipped, "No, I sit alone." Gates has been the richest man in the world for eight years running - since 1998 - and was worth $90 billion at his fortune's peak in 1999, according to the Forbes list of richest people. His fortune is currently at $50 billion, according to the magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What in Gates's title of "world's biggest philanthropist" didn't you understand? Gates is doing the world a favor by NOT giving you money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
