Do you think rich kids like the Hiltons or any others know the value of money?

This is a good question. What it basically comes down to, is how their parents treated them. By giving them a value system that includes, treating people with respect regardless of socio/economic stratus.\n\nKnowing the value of what you possess. Well, you get the idea. Hope this has helped.

Yes I believe they do as they should. I attended a boarding school and all of my friends in the church did as well. Addressing the point of the last entry of only the rich ones do well that is not 100% true. The church makes it possible for ALL to attend the school of there grade level. The worthy student fund makes it all possible. I feel as though I had a better education through the system. I feel bad for those of you that feel it is only for the rich. I may not have been rich then but I am now in spirit if nothing else.

Having known people who are rich and some who are not so rich, I don't find the average rich person to be any sadder than the average poor person. Maybe even slightly happier as they don't have to worry every day  how they are going to feed their kids or pay the doctor bills. \n\nI find that the perception that rich people are sad to be largely in the wishful minds of those who covet their wealth.\n\nBy the way, why is this question in the Math section? Are you trolling?

What's your own view as in rich? like how much money, asset, and etc.? Some people think they're poor even with several millions of dollars they have.

It is an illusion.  You may recast it as "monetary privelege."  Any color person can have money, and the people in the super-rich class have privelege.  They get hooked in with all the people with money from childhood on.  Therefore they will go to the best schools (or have it available) and hob-knob with all the richie people who run corporate america.  When a person from the elite needs a loan, or needs a business partnership, they all help out their own.  I feel it is difficult to break into that super-elite class, but anyone can.  I may not know how, but it is possible, and it is not limited to white people.  Maybe in 1932 that was true, but not now.

Bill and Warren stayed at a resort I worked at.  They rented two suites and had a helicopter fly them out to Monument Valley for a catered picnic.  I inspected their room when they were done.  They left it nice and neat, we're pleasant people but were lousy tippers.  Now, that may have been a one time thing or service related but...\n\nPeople don't get rich by sitting around watching TV.  Most millionaires I know work their asses off and spend very little money.  They are very driven people and have no problems working 14-16 hours a day.  You can imagine what your life is like when your working all the time.  They don't have minor worries, they have big worries.  They are not the manager at Burger King worried about Maria calling in sick tomorrow and having to cover her shift.  They worry about everything and make sure everyone else around them does too.  They are extremely hard on the people that work for them.  Those that take a beating and sell their souls to the company get ahead.  Family comes last in everything they do.  They may say otherwise but you look at the time they spend with their families, it amounts to squat.  It all boils down to what we value.

take it easy. it is not your fault that nobody bought you a car and if your classmates have cars given to them by parents it is not their personal credit. if it happens that somebody looks down at you for it, you can tell them that they didnt buy the car themselves or earned them by any major achievement so they cant say or think "oh how good i am  - i have a good car" Well Paris Hilton has even better cars and what a xxxx she is!\n\nproperty and wealth is always pleasant, but it is a measure of success only when it has been earned, not inherited, won in a lottery or received for nothing - as simple as that. \n\nthose noses in the air will just be surprised some day later in their lives.. some girls even seriously plan to marry a rich man when the parents funds start drying out over time.... it is the easiest solution for them..

Yes indeed.  There have been recent studies which reveal that as much as 40% of high school students report that they were given no information at all about college.  It isn't enough to assume that the "good" kids will find the information on their own.  This is the mentality that threatens to make higher education a commodity reserved for the wealthy (if it isn't already). It isn't as if, nationally, all schools would step aside and agreeing to provide less information to their students -- its the underprivileged high school students who are left in the dark while students from wealthy families receive the information about SAT Prep, College Prep, help from financial advisors to "maximize" their financial aid eligibility, etc.\n\nBased on my experience working in Higher Education (Financial Aid), I  have no doubts that students need to receive more financial aid information.  Both students and their parents need to have more realistic expectations about the costs of education today (most know that it's expensive but they think that they'll "find a way" to pay).  Comments like the one from the above poster perpetuate the myth that "expensive schools give more financial aid." There are more expensive schools that DON'T give out good aid packages than those that DO!  It's true that they're all looking for the best students, but that doesn't mean that they can afford to "woo" the students that they want (schools that are "top" in their field like Harvard, Juilliard, and MIT might be able to, but these are the exception and not the rule).\n\nAs for my personal experiences with the process: I didn't receive ANY information either, and it made what should have been an exciting process feel like a chore. It was many years ago, but I remember being called into the guidance office with a group of about 10 other students.  They plunked us down in front of a large table piled with college "How To" guidebooks (of the "For Dummies" ilk), gave us each a piece of paper, and told us that by the end of the period, we had to list of 10 colleges we might want to apply to...  Anyone who had siblings in college knew how to narrow down the THOUSANDS of schools out there but, being the oldest in my family, I didn't even know the difference between UC Berkeley and Berklee College (or Stanford and Samford).  I didn't know which schools were "reach" schools and which would be my "safety" schools -- these aren't the sorts of things you can tell by the school's name!  When this "session" was over, I couldn't help but cry.  Eventually, the guidance counselor found me a book where I could search for schools by major.  But, sheesh, what a way to have your students "test the waters" by throwing them in the deep end!\n\nAs for what kind of information I could've used: information about the various schools' reputations.  Assuming a school has the resources, why not offer one-on-one counseling where the student is asked about their academic interests and then pointed in the right direction? Most students have a sense of whether they want a big or small school, co-ed or not, city or rural, etc. -- it would seem to be less overwhelming to start with what you know rather than drawing attention to all the "missing pieces" in a student's college search.

Yes. This is a case of spoiled rich white kids thinking they can get away with whatever they want.

I think people who don't have great wealth desire it because they think it will bring happiness.  Sure it would be nice to live comfortably, but money does not necessarily bring happiness.  I know several millionaires from when I worked in oil & gas in Houston and they were mostly miserable souls. They fought over more & more money and worried constantly about how to keep from losing it. Their kids were on drugs and had alcohol problems in and out of rehab.  I'm basically poor, but I've never been happier at this time in my life.

Yes. We would have an incredible amount of money and things, but would they hold their value?

Analyst's have increased earnings expectations in the last few weeks. Hilton has exceeded expectations in the last quarters. Stock is selling at lower price to earnings ratio that its peer group.

Try the Forbes list of wealthies individuals. My guess is he'd make it and they could 'estimate' it pretty well.

I have and I haven't. I know that what they do is earn way too much money. Period. I think the imbalance of income due to education is huge.\n\nI have not spent 150G on an education but spent half a life learning and what I learned the fastest was, "its not what you have, its what you do with what you have." \n\nI was rich once, gave it all away. Things don't mean a thing when you don't have love or health. So...NOTHING is important to me but family and friends. I can't be healthy, I can be smart and I won't be rich ever again.

It is supposed that there is a club of people who are very, very rich and whose activities and money manipulate governments and events behind the scenes to their own ends, which I guess is more money for them, mainly.  They seem to have been given their name from a hotel they are said to have initially met in in the Netherlands.  They are known mostly through the writings and websites of the people who believe they exist.
