The Secret is out and no I am not taking about the popular movie that EVERYONE is talking about (and I promised to weigh in on as well!)

The secret I am talking about is no longer a secret: The names and highly personal information of those who are on Forbes billionaires list - 946 of them! According to Forbes, two-thirds of last year’s billionaires are richer but only 17% are poorer, including 32 who fell below the billion-dollar mark (I feel their pain). It’s also no secret that you can find out about everything you could possible want about the mega-wealthy.

If one had the time, interest and inclination, a billion hours could be spent reading about:

A Bad Billionaire Boy
The Best Billionaire Cars
Billionaires Bachelors
Billionaire Babes
Billionaire Blunders
Young Billionaires
Old Billionaires
Dead Billionaires
Billionaire Bill (Gates)
Billionaire (Warren) Buffett
Billionaire Bernard (Arnault )
Billionaire (Liliane) Bettencourt
Billionaire Bunk Beds
Billionaire Beanie Babies
Billionaire Big Bacon Burgers
Billionaire Beavis and Bu…

(Okay, I may a few of those up but not many).

Welcome to another addition of America’s fascination with money (and we are doing a great job of spreading the word to the world that people with money are to be worshipped). It’s all at the finger tips of Forbes readers and internet junkies who can further invade the life style of people who already live in glass houses. In my opinion, entirely too much emphasis is placed on material wealth and not enough on the wealth and richness that matters. Let’s add into the mix recent news stories about big bickering on American Idol, betting on Anna Nicole Smith’s baby’s biological parent, big buckets in basketball (college coaches salaries in Today’s USA today and Kobe Bryant’s loss of big bucks for bopping a guy) and finally the ongoing battles of bald, big baby, BVD-less, Britney Spears.

I have had ENOUGH! I think I am going to need about a Billion Barf Bags before bed.

But I just may bang more B’s berating big billionaires besides Buffet, Bill and the e-bay boy.
