I dont think its amazing
The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

I wonder how many of those billionaires are actually happy?

I would say most are happy....

A lot of the super rich are umarried or divorced. In my opinion, I'd rather have a happy family than being super rich. Yes, you could buy anything you want, but you cannot buy love.

Indeed.

I think the important thing is to have enough money to be comfortable - being too poor to support your family isn't fun, but being so rich people only care about your money, not you, wouldn't be fun either.

I totally agree. It irks me when people, especially those who are rich, say that "money doesn't buy happiness" ... that may be true, but it sure helps to keep you off living on the streets. I would think that if they had to walk a mile in some people's shoes, they'd change their mind about that saying.

Yes, enough to be comfortable and take care of you and your family's needs through your entire life is where I'd like to have everyone. Those with tons of money often have worked very hard to get it, and it's a shame when they lose sight of the basic values in life so they are unable to enjoy what they have achieved. But then, there are people like The Donald, Bill G., etc. -- yikes!

I wonder how long Bill Gates will stay on the top..

Spot on
Thats why Im guessing most of these guys just aren't happy with their life. They get very tied up in getting even richer and the material parts of life.

Then again I dont know them at all, they could all be great people..

I have a lot more respect for the people who are on the list and have built themselves up and earnt the money rather than to be born into wealth or inherited it.
