Schadenfreude

not sure where the silver spoon thing came from.... was he somehow born rich? did i miss that - or is he just one of the millions of Americans who are or have tried to take advantage of the American Dream. It still does exist. The ability to make millions of dollars here in the USA.

Honestly, personally, I feel bad for the guy. Sounds like he missed out on the golden goose

This from Wikipedia
"Wayne, now retired and living a quiet lifestyle in a Pahrump, Nevada, mobile home park"

Doesn't sound so like anything you describe above......

You can. There's this idea that extremely wealthy people aren't happy, or that money doesn't necessarily "buy" happiness, but that's not entirely true. I know some people who have obscene money and they're pretty damn happy every time I see them. lol. I think those people who squander away their lottery winnings and end up miserable are a misrepresentation of that idea. Those people are just dumb and/or should have sought some financial counseling at some point.

The dude in the OP though, he doesn't seem to need the money to be happy.
And good for him. I don't need it either, but it sure affords me the luxury of doing stuff I wouldn't otherwise be able to do.
And that makes me happy. :)

I have a family member that is very wealthy....an Aunt who's husband made millions in the electronics field. Anyway, she is now happy. After he passed away she thought trying to help everyone would make her happy. Money changing hands in families can cause resentment. She gave too much to some shady religious people and got burned. The pendulum then swung the other way and she got super tight for a while. She has sort of settled in the middle now although she won't give any money at all to family or friends still.
My point is, having a lot of money and having everyone you know know you have it....not as easy as it might seem.
