On the flip side, I've met some off the wall, crazy ass broke poor people that think everyone should pay them for their miserable lives.

Then again, I've met many rich/wealthy people (many in this Industry), that are worse off than any poor person I've ever met. Miserable lives, total failure in family life, wouldn't help their own moms cross the street, but they've got money!

But... for everyone jacked up rich person you can find, you have one willing to do everything they can to help the person next to them and they're perfectly happy doing so.

Agree with this - there are poor people who are quite happy, and rich people who are miserable.

"people" think richness is 7.5 milllion, but when people with 7.5 million were asked what rich was, they said 25 mil. People with 25 mil say 125 mil.

In reality, the happiest people are people who do stuff diligently and succeed. Money tends to follow that and happiness comes from going slowly up the ladder. A little more fame and a little more money = happiness.
