Isn't this a picture of the guy who owned Pollen, the company that scammed hundreds of millions of pounds from customers and paid for a dream wedding abroad costing millions while bouncing cheques to his staff?

Better be rich and unhappy than poor and unhappy.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise
It's no surprise
that they're giving none away
I love this quote from Mr. Robot (paraphrase):
I don't care about money, as long as it's enough to live.
The more money they have, the less happy they are. They’re addicted to making money, to watching the line go up and to the right. They’re addicted to trying to destroy the competition and buy them out, to consolidate more and more and more.
They are right when they say that wealth isn’t the key to happiness. They’re riding the bull and they don’t know how to get off.
They’re addicted to trying to destroy the competition and buy them out
And that's how they get evil.
It may not buy happiness, but it sure as hell removes a lot of obstacles to happiness!
It really doesn't. But it does buy a bunch of prerequesites.
No, but having enough money buys financial security to do what you want.
Ugh, I wish this guy wasn't so problematic. I really did enjoy his off hand type of humor.
My boss once said, in front of all staff that it's proven that more money doesn't make people happy, and I suggested that we swap out paychecks. She laughed, nobody else did.
I'd rather cry in a Rolls Royce than at the bus stop
Really says more about the disdain for western public transportation.
I'll take coach seats on the Shinkansen over the driver's seat of a Ferrari.
Brother, I think being rolled down the street by a sumo wrestler is a better experience than most public transport around here
Worse ways to get rolled.
Well I'd take the destinations on the Shinkansen for wherever I'm going now...
