Good job Bill Gates hasn't seen that list. Luckily he's too busy trying to rid the world of Malaria or something.
The best people I know think of others' before themselves (and I don't mean spoiling their kids.

Does half the world hate us? If they do I don't know why, as a country we give millions in aid all over the world. On a personal level I donate regular to numerous charities, my wife used to be a Pastor and has done missionary work in Africa. I don't see that as being in conflict with wanting to enjoy what we've earned.
Whilst I admire Bill Gates he hasn't exactly given away all of his wealth and live a simple monastic life, what he gives away is what he couldn't possibly spend. I read a while ago that he was only going to give his kids a few million because he wanted them to have to work for their money so that they'd appreciate it!
Most of us on here own Morgans (and/or other cars) that could be described as extravagant, but that doesn't mean that we are all selfish, does it?


I was referring to the list, not member's comments......
Apologies that I didn't make that clear.
