Interesting. I saw an article predicting the worlds first Trillionaire in about 10 years. Because the mainstream media bats around terms like Billion and Trillion with such apparent ease it has devalued the awe that should be accorded such sums. It is patently false that the wealthy are underwriting Civilization. The wealth that is seen in public works is mainly LONG DEAD wealthy people, and it is maintained by ours: the Middle Class. The wealth of the living ultra wealthy is in tax havens. It buys nothing, funds nothing, does nothing. It could, but we don't have the political will to go after it. Sports cars, Yachts and Football Teams are ridiculous markers for wealth. You don't need to be a Billionaire to have a Yacht.
