Oh....Pierre... These days I usually feel like the richest man in the world.  Although my bank account is empty.  But at least I am against the odds still alive and actually functioning.  And I enjoy my work with Autistic kids and time with my husband and friends that no one thought I would have....So I am the richest man in the world.

Right away of course I thought of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet - not just because of their megal $$$ but because (especially Gates and his wife) are unbelievable philanthropists.  I also admire both of them as they've publically said, especially Buffet that their kids should not expect an inheritance.......they have to work for it.  Now I'm sure Gates and Buffet wouldn't see their kids without anything.....but I really respect that way of thinking.
