Fuck I can't imagine De La Rocha having $50 million, that just seems utterly ridiculous for him. I've heard Morello is into muscle cars but I cannot for the life of me imagine Zack keeping all that cash

[bada]

That list looks suspect. It almost looks like they put down the lead singers name as a representative for the entire band in most cases. Liam Gallagher and Vince Neil didn't even write most of the songs. Doesn't REM spilt songwriting evenly? Zach has been on the couch since 2000. Plant but no Page? Wasn't it established that Anthony Kiedis's contributions to the RHCP is dancing?

[evenslow]

yeah that list is bullshit

Your idealism is admirable. Looks like that 50 mil. number is out of place at #72. Probably a typo. The typical number you see for Zach is 25 mil. Hopefully this will help you sleep tonight.

Joe Strummer, enemy of capitalism, was worth 2 million when he died.

"Wealth" is a relative term in this field of employment.

[stip]

Guys, don't you know that to think greed or corporate capitalism are socially destructive you need to donate all your money to charity and go live in a cave somewhere?

They probably think everyone should have thirty million dollars.

Somebody told me the other day that Bono does more for the world and poverty than any one of us has, or would, given the same amount of money. And I thought actually, I'm pretty sure I would be giving more of it away if I was Bono.

[Soma.]

Does that somebody even know who Bill Gates is?

[McParadigm]

I believe food distribution systems worldwide are grossly inadequate to the point of immorality…so I haven't eaten a thing in over 20 years.

It just makes sense.

Also, that number assumes that Ed hasn't blown all his money on axes, sparkle stickers, and Skylanders. Seems suspicious.

[BurtReynolds]

I guess if you gave all your money away, that would be it. But if you gave all the interest away, over time you'd give away more? But is that giving anything away?

mo money mo problems.

Wasn't that Jorge?

[Lament]

He has done more good to the world than I ever will, or probably ever would if I had similar means. And good on him for not being quiet about it-- visibility is important and can draw more attention and support.

[harmless]

Well, would you look at that. Funnily enough, though, I'm not sure if that's the comment I'm referring to. The one I mean was more accusatory, i.e. "He'll do more for the world than YOU would ever do." Or maybe I'm imagining that and I'm just painting Jorge as some kind of monster.

[Jorge]

Well I said probably. I really don't know.

[Lament]

Honestly, I can't imagine I'd put in half the effort he puts in, no matter how rich I was. I can't imagine I'd be going out of my way to spend time in third world countries.
