I was having a happy morning.
I strolled into the office a little late this morning since I had a late night last night… and I was happy bouncing around until I checked my e-mail and found this.
Yang Huiyan (26 year-old) tops this year’s list with a net worth of $16.2 billion, seven times the $2.3 billion that retailer Wong Kwong Yu needed to rank No. 1 in 2006. 
Yang’s father, the low-profile chairman of Country Gardens, turned over his shares to his daughter in 2005, and her wealth has soared with the company’s stock price since the company went public in Hong Kong in April.
$16.2 billion.
Wait let me say that again.
SIXTEEN POINT 2 BILLION ($16,200,000,000)
It took me a while to fathom how much $16.2 billion is.
Okay lets say I am really spend thrift.
I buy 50 supercars, all a combination Ferraris,
Rolls Royces,
and Porsches.
And when I say Porsche, I don’t mean the cheap Porsche like the Boxster.
I mean the Carrera GT… top of the line one!
Assuming on average, that costs me $1,000,000 a car, I would have spent only $50,000,000.
Money Spent So Far: $50,000,000
Next, a rich wealthy man has got to stay in a mansion.
So say I go buy a huge mansion that costs $50,000,000 to build.
Heck, say I buy 5 of those just for the fun of it.
So all that costs $150,000,000.
Money Spent So Far: $200,000,000.
Then say I am even more extravagant.
I buy a private jet.
Not just any private jet.
Not small ones like these.
Those are for fags.
I buy the biggest private jet in the whole wide world!
The Airbus A380 which when used in commercial airlines will be able to seat 586 passengers. for $300,000,000.
Then I’ll spend another $100,000,000 just to do up the interior to put in my indoor golf course and all that.
Money Spent So Far: $600,000,000
How about yachts…. every rich man has got to have a yacht.
Well but lets say I’m extravagant again.
So I’ll forget about that tiny little thing they call a yacht.
AND I BUY MYSELF A WHOLE MOTHERFRIGGIN CRUISE SHIP!!!
That will probably cost me another $500,000,000 but no problem.
Money Spent So Far: $1,100,000,000.
Then lets not forget football clubs.
Say I buy Manchester United for another $4,000,000,000 or so.
Money Spent So Far: $5,100,000,000.
That leaves me with $11,100,000,000 LEFT TO SPEND!!!
AFTER ALL THE MONEY I HAVE WASTED!!!
Say I put that $11,100,000,000 into FD in Malaysia with a very very low yield of 3%.
In one year, the interest I will earn is $333,000,000.
That’s almost $1,000,000 to spend each day just on shopping.
How the hell do you do that?
Think of all the stress that would create.
Every morning you wake up and you think to yourself
“Shit… how do I spend $1,000,000 before the day ends…”
*sigh*
No wonder some people say.. with money comes stress.
I pity the rich people out there…. all the stress they must face.
