It looks like Warren Buffett is ranked second on
the annual list of the Forbes 400 (USA). Funny how
it now takes US1 Billion to even make the list!

Unless someone is living in a very expensive U.S. city, having $2,000,000 in the bank earning 5% generates gross income of $100,000. After local, state, and federal taxes, let's assume for the sake of simplicity that $100,000 gets whittled down to $50,000. Again, not in really expensive U.S. cities, but just about anywhere else in the country, that $50,000 can make a persons financial life a lot less stressful. And that's just earning 5% off $2 million in capital.
