I watched some of it, but i like my idea of guys like billgates who has enough money run a country i think its about 85.2billion , actors who waste money on drugs and drink, aswell as footballers who earn about 1miillion a month. Lavish partys and and trips to the shops to spend 18k on clothes theyll wear only once, from paying for rehab and enough cars to fill a football pitch. And still rake it all back in a few month. Cause everyone knows 3 million to somone like bill gates or p diddy is like loose change.

Anyway my idea was, everyone whos a millionare in the world put about 3 million in a pile, and give it to the 3rd world countrys...that will solve it well poverty anyway..lol

agreed accept for football players, it's more like 100k a year for non-skill positioned players(usual) or 2nd string skilled players range from 100k to 2 mill a year
accept if your a nonskilled position but great at it (warren sapp) then you might get payed as much as a wide receiver
First draft skilled players (mike vick) will get payed like 7 mill a year + endorsments and commercials/ selling product like vicks (cleats)
so around 12-15 mill a year for him.
and usuall football players have regular lives with the family bit and all

point is they work for theres unlike bill gates which markets things, anyone here can luckily become bill gates, but i doubt many of you even have what it takes to do highschool or college football , yet alone NFL :X
accept me of course 8) 8) 8) 8)

Consider that he made this money in the 25 years or so since Microsoft was founded in 1975. If you presume that he has worked 14 hours a day on every business day of the year since then, that means he's been making money at a staggering million dollars per hour, around $300 per second.

Which means that if, on his way into the office, should he see or drop a $1000 bill on the ground, it's just not worth his time to bend over and pick it up. He would make more just heading off to work.

in 1998 Bill made much more (before taxes) than the entire population of Kuwait, all the Emirs, oil wells, Sheiks, millionaires and peasants -- everybody.

another way to examine this sort of wealth is to compare it to yours. Consider an average American of modest wealth. Perhaps she has a net worth of $70,000. Mr. Gates' worth is 800,000 times larger. Which means that if something costs $100,000 to her, to Bill it's as though it costs 12 cents.

So for example, you might think a new Lambourghini Diablo would cost $250,000, but in Bill Gates dollars that's 31 cents.

Ok so it's all about global warming right? save the earth, etc? so why use a big electricity hogging event to "educate" people about it? It's just an excuse for them to get their 15mins of charity in. I say Boo. Also, madonna needs to retire like quick.
