  1. Well, i was born in a millionaires's family and the last thing i wanted to be was rich. My parents gave me the best possible education, and are terrific parents who build me up, but they never told me that money was important and that doing a job i like was far better. I am a veterinarian, so i don't make millions but i love my job, and i wouldn't trade it for a job i don't like, regardless of the paycheck. That's what happens when parents truly build you up.

  2. When i was 17 i was being sued by the Chinese government for burning down a fur factory with a team of animal rights activist, after rescuing all the animals in it. It didn't make me a millionaire but my parents were never prouder of me. Thank god i am from Iceland and the Icelandic government pressurized the Chinese one (china was far from being the superpower it is today, in those days), to release me. I still was given two options tell where the animals were or do community services (meaning jail time), i chose jail, best time of my life, Chinese jails in those days (and still today) were filled with the best people in the country, all called dissidents, so i made contacts there which are still among my best friends today! Keep your millions, the experience of my teenage and my idyllic childhood were far better than all the millions. Today i'm a veterinarian and ethologist, working for the WAP (branch of the UN) and the Unesco Biospheres, around the world. I don't drive a BMW i don't have a house in Chelsea, but i feel like i have succeed and i am glad to do a job which is meaningful, rather than just being a piece of the big mercantile and capitalist machine. As for my kids, i'd rather see them become escorts than brokers.

  3. A baker and his mum working in the kitchen, touching the cakes without rubber gloves, without hairnet, without masks, and with rings , jewelry and wristwatches, and the whole thing on video ! In my country this would be enough to shut down the bakery within an hour and nobody would ever by anything from them.
