In Silicon Valley, Millionaires Who Don't Feel Rich

I know a guy like that. His take on it is that it's a combination of social pressure and families: families are often more expensive than any of ivankirigin's doing things to extremes, and they get more expensive as you put them in richer peer groups. I suspect that if you were single, being worth $10 million would sit with you just fine, even if you wanted to do extravagant things.

(Not that that would make me choose to be single, though.)

I need at least 10 million for my daughters sweet sixteen MTV birthday party. If her party is not better than the other boys and girls parties than she won't love me anymore : (

augy, I think your DNS mistakenly re-route you to news.ycombinator.com instead of Slashdot.com

I did not get re-routed and I wasn't being condescending. I just wanted to show how extreme some families are with regards to money.
