And it's fine that you perceive yourselves the way you do, but since you're publishing a blog for all to see, you must realize you are inviting everyone to form their own perceptions -- most of which who do not have the money you have will likely be irritated. Not because you're rich -- plenty of poor people love Oprah -- they don't have the discontent for her as a rich woman because she doesn't outwardly and blatantly flaunt it as much as you appear to. We all know she's rich, we know she flies on private jets and has a life of luxury but she doesn't rub it in our faces.

I hope it kinda goes like this:
"Today I woke up and smiled upon a new day, filled with the recognition of the fact that yes, I am rich. I brushed my teeth with a supersonic toothbrush that proles could not only not afford, but could not even afford the magazines it's advertised in. Then I pulled a velvet cord and summoned five menservants who helped me ease into my $2,000 bespoke sweatpants. As they hoisted me on a pillow stuffed with pheasant feathers and carried me downstairs on their shoulders, I suddenly remembered something: I am filthy rich. And I was overcome with gloom: most un-rich people will never, sadly, get to experience such a glorious ritual. Luckily, my sadness only lasted a nanosecond, because it occurred to me that I possess a considerable degree of happiness, which is a direct function of me being rich." Etc. etc. etc.

Wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing turns out to be a prank. We thought about doing this kind of thing at Spy--just create two of the most annoying characters we could think of and publish their "story." Problem was, everyone we tested it on took it way too seriously.
Think about it: anger = attention. Who's not going to check this out in SF? And are they really related to the "Getty" family, or are they just two guys named Getty (or using pseudonyms)?

Oh, and please eat my weiner with extra Shut The Fuck sauce.

Since they don't have to work for a living, couldn't they be doing benevolent things that many of us would like to but can't afford. I'm sure Edward James Olmos, among others, would have some suggestions for them.

Seriously, though, EJO walks the walk. Do a little online searching and you'll see he has a lot of benevolent things going on.

There I might agree. He probably knows how the other 99% live.

I did not know that. I know he's done some other charitable work, though. Other examples are welcome.

More information. Thanks.
I still wonder about a life of relative idleness, given that it doesn't take that long to write a check.
