Rich or super rich isn't the point. The point is money and fame don't equal fame, in fact, it's usually quite the opposite.

Super rich people also commit suicide, too.
I didn't consider how much he's worth, I think it's ultimately inconsequential in suicides except for those truly down on their luck. I stated in the kate spade suicide thread that if I were a billionaire and hadn't given most all my resources to helping people and animals then I'd kill myself too.

We disagree on selfish acts. no worries. BUT. suicide is a huge massive problem and growing. you know that. We need to stand up to it in every way we can. Being firm about it NOT being OK at all ever is something I feel strongly about. I have reasons for that.
