Idiots with Money

I don’t begrudge anyone their success and couldn’t care less how much money someone has. But our culture puts people who have a lot of money on a pedestal more for having a lot of money and less for how they got it or what they do with it. More often than not, what they do with it is, quite frankly, stupid.
“A fool and his money are soon parted,” as the saying goes. But sometimes a fool has so much money that there’s nothing they can do to be parted from all of it, which frees those people up to be recurring fools forever.
Bill Gates is one such example. Yes, he created Microsoft, and depending on when and how often you’ve seen the “blue screen of death” and what word it cost you, you may or may not think he’s an idiot. But there’s no discounting his success. He earned his fortune. Now that fortune is causing him endless humiliation.
When you thought about Bill Gates before this year you probably thought a lot of things…none of which were “ladies man.” Yet, as Bill goes through a divorce from his wife Melinda, someone most people in an office pool would have pegged as the only woman he’d ever kissed, we’re finding out that little Billy was quite the player.
