Contrary to common assumption, many of the wealthiest Americans aren't worried about the weakening economy at all. They are actually excited about it.

I think that if I were in a satisfying marriage, I would probably choose monogamy, but I wouldn't want that to be a requirement.

The worst thing you can do in a relationship, and what's really unattractive about it, is that people begin to limit each other.

I obviously enjoy being wealthy. It's enabled me to have a career that I've chosen and not one that I've been forced into.

I've always found that I personally love to observe things, and I'm good at observing things.

Ironically, for the mega-rich, recession brings with it the ability to live well at a lower cost and with less of a hassle.

When vastly wealthy people say, 'I'm not leaving my kids any money,' it's typically not true.

For rich children, it'd be very easy and convenient never to take any steps to build an identity outside of your association with your family's wealth.

There are certain vulnerabilities and insecurities that go along with not being linked to another person in a contractual way, even if it's an unspoken contract. People in New York manage that pretty well. I prefer choice and desire over convention and limitation.

I had hoped that foreboding economic circumstances would have caused the ultra-rich to think not just of themselves and increasing their own personal affluence. Unfortunately, however, too many of them lack concern, and without this concern, the divisive imbalance will only worsen with recession.
