It could be interesting ….   everybody thinks they know how the rich thinks, but not Bill.

There are myths, and maybe finding answers to questions like these will help the poor:

Do the rich feel guilty about their sudden windfalls? Do they enjoy
making money more than giving it away? Does money make them happy? How
has money had a negative or positive impact on their families? How much
of today’s giving is about climbing the social ladder rather than
changing the world? How do the rich define “rich?”

The Wealth Report - WSJ.com : Gates Studies the Rich

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced yesterday that it’s funding a new survey of the rich, called “The Joys and Dilemmas of Wealth.” The study, co-funded by Wachovia’s Calibre division, will be conducted by Boston College’s Center on Wealth and Philanthropy. It will poll people worth $25 million or more, with a “considerable portion” of respondents worth $100 million or more.
