While we're on the subject, how much is threaded worth?

How long is a piece of string?
With his time machine he just has to pop back a couple of days and he's won the euro millions (again)

How is William anyway? I'd heard he's stood down from day to day running and handed over to a balding mentalist

No, not him or anywhere near that amount of dosh. Not even in dimprawn's or threaded's class, I shouldn't imagine. Tens of millions though, which isn't to be sneezed at.

In that list it's anything less than $800 million dollars.

One of my ex-classmates went to the US, started up his own software company and is known among us as being one of the "filthy rich", but I'm sure he's got a lot less than that. We'll have to find out how much and re-assess his sobriquet. He'll be upset.

less than 2million dollars - struggling on a council estate?

I take the OP is the spirit I think it was meant - wealth is how much money and assets you've got. Otherwise we are confusing it with quality of life, which I think is something else.

Anyway, I always wanted to be filthy rich, because I like the sound of that, but looking at Lumiere's list that's further away than I thought.

on the contrary,

one of my Bob colleagues explained how in India, the richest man in India is infact the man on the street with no money because he wishes for nothing

Even the poorest people in this country are relatively wealthy, if only they'd compare themselves to folks in Darfur or Bangladesh instead of Posh and Becks they might realise how lucky they are.

Are you wealthier as a street urchin in the UK than India? Maybe a bit, but then they probably won't risk death from exposure.

I wonder if there is a league table of "best countries to be homeless in"...

[milanbenes]

This leaves us with a definition which is rather fragile, and rightly so; some misfortune like an accident in the car, a sudden and destructive illness like MS, or losing one's job could leave anybody in a very sticky situation; you'd possibly also find, if you suddenly fell down the socio-economic tree, that many of your 'friends' would desert you.

Agree with a lot of statements on here, Spod's as well

but Mich strikes a chord with the car scenario

and this is why, we should all be driving the biggest and safest cars we can afford and not the cheapest or most fuel effiecient cars

It's true gj, these rascals hide stuff in the wheel. Instinct I suppose.
my Dongo fills his with the contents of his food bowl, so the noise contravenes several noise abatement acts of parliament. he makes more noise than a skeleton break dancing in a biscuit tin.

Most posters are confusing wealth with quality. including me.

maybe thats right, after all, its easy to imagine scenarios where you have unlimited wealth, but cant use it.

Imagine you were a chillean miner and you won 133 million on the euro lottery. wouldnt be much use would it ?

Ah, the 6ft chopsticks analogy...
