Last week some rich oil magnet in the US was put on trial for accepting free-gifts for his wife..........while he had shed loads of money. Seemingly these were classed as bribes.
So how much money is enough?
And what do they do with all this cash!
I know George Micheal gives alot to charity and so do loads of other stars, and even some other rich folk who have shed loads of money.
SO I ASK AGAIN HOW MUCH MONEY IS ENOUGH??

They seem to get addicted to getting more and more money. Why would you take a free gift if you have no need of it!

It's not for any one person or entity to say. In other words, it's not our business. What is our business is preserving the freedom to pursue unlimitted prosperity. That must be maintained.
Governments will always take money from individuals, and people will always be envious of those with more money than them.
The truth is, it doesn't matter how rich you, me, or Bill Gates are. We all have opportunity, and that is what is most precious.
At the end of our lives, we can't write a check to get in to heaven. But maybe we'll be judged by the good deeds we did on earth- whether we spent a lot of money or not.
SO, I guess the answer to your question is, IT IS NOT IMPORTANT. You may be envious, angry about it even, but you may happier if you focus on more important things, such as your own opportunities for success and happiness.

it depends on your lifestyle and whether you can appreciate the world around you, and what is wealth anyway? Someone who is dying would say that money can't buy life so however much you had it would be worthless. In a way you've answered your own question, just the fact that rich people give it away means that they have more than enough.

How much money is enough? For some people, there probably is never enough-- (either because they are filthy rich, or desperately poor).....but I'm a simple person. If I have enough money for a roof over my head, and a meal on my table, I have enough. If I have more than that (and even if I don't) I'll share what I have! And I'll probably sleep better at night for it!

Enough is what will cover your needs & some of your wants with a little bit more saved away to cover the future.

I believe it was the Great Grandfather of Sen. Jay Rockefeller IV(D,WV), who said, "Just a little bit more!"

Try and knock and ask those with "Money, money,money"
Ask them are they happy with "All for the money"?
Ask them will they be leaving with it too?
Ask them will they leave their name as success in worshiping God to be remember in time?
Or leave as his ghostly stories of failures and horrors in ghostly modern history to be forgotten in time?
