Members Vito Corleone Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 Can you imagine having 8 Billion dollars and dying in your 50's? What a waste. Just goes to prove: money isn't everything. Money may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite;medicine, but not health;acquaintances, but not friends;servants, but not faithfulness;days of joy, but not peace and happiness. --Henrik Ibsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xpander Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 devastating news for us silicon valley folks, i heard about it this afternoon in osaka. last week i walked by steve jobs' house in Old Palo Alto and snapped a photo of the apple trees in his yard. there's a bunch of ultrawealthy people who live in what's really a somewhat unassuming neighborhood near stanford.
