Lifestyles of The Rich and Hard-Working
Even though I was intentionally setting out to dive into some more intriguing areas of AskMen.com, I couldn’t help but notice this conveniently located (didn’t have to scroll the page to see it) and bolded question asked to Mr. Leach:
Which houses took your breath away?
“Well, the house in Germany with 365 rooms and a room map so you would not get lost. The house in Australia that was so large, they had a chauffeur driving you from one room to another. A 50,000-square foot house that was on the Pacific coast in Mexico. An all-gold house in Hong Kong. Celebrities are nowhere as rich as some people think they are. It is usually people in the money business, finance, and international trade that are really rich. You generally find that the number of very wealthy [celebrities] is not more than a couple of handfuls.”
This Robin Leach reminiscing of these houses reminded me of all the times, when I was living in Virginia Beach for 12 years, that I’d hop on my bike (mountain bike), head down to the boardwalk, and cruise on into a residential area of the beach called “Croatan”.
It’s through this away-from-the-computer time that I’d immerse myself into the culture, richness, and vicariously live through the extreme “vivid” experiences, of the Rich & Famous…
Er, or was is just the rich ? Read on to find out…
