Worked hard, got rich, sleep like a log.

Nothing to be ashamed of. If I wasn't a typical British "reserved modesty is the ultimate policy" dude, I would be cock proud of myself.

No.. I'm nowhere near the league of many of those mentioned above, but I strongly suspect hard work and shrewd decisions gets you somewhere, whereas moaning and showing envy gets you into an early grave through stress.

The sad bit is; everybody reading this, either side of the pond, won the lottery anyway just by being born in the Western world.

Grow up for crying out loud.

And anyway, if I owned a football club and buying a player for £50M, £100K per week salary for a four year contract brought in over that period, with sponsorship, increased gates and TV rights etc, £51M, then that is a £1M good investment.....

Mind you, I expect the bugger to perform..... But that has little to do with money. Why did Man Utd buy Park? A journeyman by any standard, but the millions from Asian TV interest? Ruddy priceless player.
