Multimillionaire Sourpusses

dd972

Roy Keane : X amounts of millions in the bank, a mansion in leafy Cheshire, always looks like he's lost a pound and found a penny.

Wayne Rooney : 120K a week, mansion in Cheshire, snarls,stamps and spits his dummy out of his mouth if he doesn't get a throw in

Morrissey : ''Life is sh1t, the world is sh1t, people are sh1t........yadda,yadda'', Yeah, sure it is Moz, in sunny California with millions in the bank

the list goes on, Thom Yorke, Bob Geldof and assorted others, ffs cheer up, you could be working in a factory or a call centre for €350 a week. Of course, I'm envious of these people's wealth, that goes without saying and people are still curmudgeonly human beings regardless of their situation but it does get a bit grating when some of these characters go around all the time with this hard done by demeanor.

He's a good bloke with a great sense of humour, have met him a few times. His songs can be funny too, listen to the lyrics and you might get the jokes.

It must be the Irish blood in them.

They begrudge themselves.

I know, I mean Kurt Cobain, all the money he had, and he goes and blows his own head off with a shotgun! Like, WTF?!

How many multimillionaires frequent AH?

The money gets bigger, but so does the sh1t you have to deal with. All the problems stay the same. They just have a few more 000's on the end. Now fcuk off ye whinging impoverished cnuts.:D Also, Morrisey is a ledge. IE he's flat, often high and pointlessly narrow. Had a few good songs tho, Smiths ruled when I was at school.

People who are happy and content with their life generally don't put in the effort required to make multi-million figures.

Multi-millionaires are generally by implication individuals driven to accumulate money because they're unsatisfied with their lives. I'm not saying that I wouldn't like to have a bank account bursting at the seams, but I want someone to just hand it to me. I'm not dissatisfied enough to get off my arse and work for it.

Well, I typically have my butler browse boards and relay anything of interest, so Im not on quite as much as I appear to be

Richard Branson might be the exception to the rule. His default face seems to be grinning chimp, whenever he pops up in the media.

Met him once, very down to earth and a gentleman. You'd never guess at his public recognition or money tbh.

byronbay2

Couldn't agree more with Seamus - a lot of rich people are driven to accumulate money/possessions/social standing to compensate for something that happened (or they perceive to have happened) in their youth.
The point is not that rich people become unhappy, it is that unhappy people become rich!

He earns £250,000 a week. Slight off the margin but still. When you're talking those numbers I suppose there is little difference

I keep a low profile so that I don't get paupers sending me begging PMs all day long. The ones who slip through the net seem to be under the illusion that persistence will pay off, but they will be sadly disappointed.

Shryke

It's their business whatever they do our however they want to look or act.
A person much worse off than you, OP, would say the same thing about you. Don't be such a sour puss.

Yep, I read his book - Screw it, Let's do it. He came across as a nice guy. Surprisingly for a multi millionaire, his main motivation never seemed to be money, that's just a by-product, but rather making a success of different businesses ventures. Be it records, rail services or airlines. If Branson was just a normal guy and won the lotto tomorrow, he would still work. it's not about money with him, it's about succeeding.

Also, I'm nosy, where did you meet him ?

Do you not think he's awful man for starting things and then letting them fizzle out?

Virgin Jeans
Virgin Cola
Virgin Cinema
Virgin F1
I'm sure there is tons more.

Let's hope he doesn't lose interest in his space ship and leave them up there.

I agree he is a happy fecker though.

Brendan O'Carroll is always thanking the fact that he is doing well.

Sleepy

It seems to be that way for most of the mega-rich Lollers. Read Warren Buffet's biography and he's very much the same: lives very frugally and looks at the money is a scorecard of his achievements rather than as money in it's own right.

Must be about 15 years ago at a village fete one summer. He was on holidays in Ireland with his kids so there they were he decided to come down for a look round. He just pottered around chatting to people about their homemade jams and the like.

Yeah, Buffet is a prime example, his net worth is around 40 billion, yet he lives in the same house that he bought for $31,500. Has also never bought a new car in is life, drives second hand cars only.

Money might not buy you happiness but it's more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bike

i would have no time for sourpusses like that,at least be greatful you have your millions..

kowloon

I would never work again if I had the choice. Why would you when you could spend your time learning new stuff, writing, painting, stocking your own museum?

Ireland has an obssession with defining people by their 'wurk'. There's honour in pissing away the best days of your life in a job you hate. Don't get me wrong, many enjoy what they do, and best of luck to them, but I don't consider gathering cash to necessarily be the measure of a life well spent if your heart's not in it.

I think this dude is a bit miserable as well.

He doesn't go around with a face like a spanked arse though, like Keane, Rooney or Thom Yorke, he even acknowledges the fact that his class of people have too much much and there's an inherent imbalance in capitalism

Agricola

In fairness to Roy Keane, at least hes true to himself and is consistent. He was an unbearable fúcker before he got rich and nothings changed. Got to respect that!
