Every country publishes it's "rich list" periodically so unless you're a drug lord who keeps all his wealth in cash and precious metals in his own personal vault, the whole world knows who the rich are. All you need to do is google.

Don't be stupid Sam. With the instagram page, these rich kids are revealing what they drive, the colour make and model of their cars, which clubs they go to, where they hang out and with whom. Why give any potential kidnappers more info?

Why be overly concerned with stewPIG and ill bred rich people who cause harm to themselves through their own stupidity. Let nature takes its own course.

The time to worry is when kidnapping becomes endemic and affects the middle and upper middle class and the general safety of society as a whole.

As for the safety of particular ill bred rich teenagers, that is the job of their parents and if they are not up to the task, that's their problem. In this instance, the easiest way to solve it, when the foreseeable consequence of not teaching your children well arises, is to pay the ransom and have the kidnapping "finished" - check origin of the word "finance". However, the task of bringing up the child properly is not and probably will not be done despite whatever ugly incidents, given the stewPIG-dity of the parents, and it will be good for society as a whole to have fresh blood at the top of the wealth hierarchy as those who can't take good care of it becomes deprived of it in the normal Darwinian process.

Any potential kidnapper would already know all this information plus more. Kidnappings precede the internet and instagram by many thousands of years.

I reiterate that there is no point being rich if you don't live in an ostentatious manner. The whole idea of being wealthy is to thumb the noses of the less well off.

Bacon on riches ...........

I CANNOT call riches better than the baggage of virtue. The Roman word is better, impedimenta. For as the baggage is to an army, so is riches to virtue. It cannot be spared nor left behind, but it hindereth the march; yea, and the care of it sometimes loseth or disturbeth the victory. Of great riches there is no real use, except it be in the distribution; the rest is but conceit. So saith Solomon, Where much is, there are many to consume it; and what hath the owner but the sight of it with his eyes? The personal fruition in any man cannot reach to feel great riches: there is a custody of them; or a power of dole and donative of them; or a fame of them; but no solid use to the owner.

Do you not see what feigned prices are set upon little stones and rarities? and what works of ostentation are undertaken, because there might seem to be some use of great riches? But then you will say, they may be of use to buy men out of dangers or troubles. As Solomon saith, Riches are as a strong hold, in the imagination of the rich man. But this is excellently expressed, that it is in imagination, and not always in fact. For certainly great riches have sold more men than they have bought out.

Seek not proud riches, but such as thou mayest get justly, use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and leave contentedly. Yet have no abstract nor friarly contempt of them. But distinguish, as Cicero saith well of Rabirius Posthumus, In studio rei amplificandæ apparebat, non avaritiæ prædam, sed instrumentum bonitati quæri [In seeking to increase his estate it was apparent that he sought not a prey for avarice to feed on, but an instrument for goodness to work with]. Harken also to Solomon, and beware of hasty gathering of riches; Qui festinat ad divitias, non erit insons [He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent]. The poets feign, that when Plutus (which is Riches) is sent from Jupiter, he limps and goes slowly; but when he is sent from Pluto, he runs and is swift of foot. Meaning that riches gotten by good means and just labor pace slowly; but when they come by the death of others (as by the course of inheritance, testaments, and the like), they come tumbling upon a man. But it ought be applied likewise to Pluto, taking him for the devil. For when riches come from the devil (as by fraud and oppression and unjust means), they come upon speed. The ways to enrich are many, and most of them foul. Parsimony is one of the best, and yet is not innocent; for it withholdeth men from works of liberality and charity.

I would say that the vast majority of very rich people keep a low profile. Its the press and media that hound them and want to see what they drive and where they live. I have met Paul Allen once, he has a private helicopter, jets, etc. But he dress very casually, like Levi khakis etc when I saw him. No name brand clothes, no blink, no large diamond rings, etc. I also met Steve Jobs once at a business lunch. He was dressed like everyone else, in a business 2 piece suit. Came to the meeting without an entourage. I also attended a lunch for Stephen Wozniak (although I am not sure if he is in the same league as these people you mentioned), he was the most casual, almost a slob.

I know for people like Bill Gates, the media is always hounding them and publicize all their cars and houses, and other luxury assets. That is not their fault. mostly, they did not ask for it. The 2 Asian billionaires that I know personally (one is the father of a good friend and the other is close to my family) have all the trappings of wealth. But one you cannot tell, unless you know your Mercedes S class, in which case you may notice his is custom ordered from Germany. The other hosts a charity fund raising show once a year from his house. The local TV channel carries the event, so people can see the inside of his house. But people will never see the inside of his yatch, or his other high end properties or see where he goes for holidays. that's because he keeps a low profile and does not tell.

If you want further examples, just look at one of the world's richest man, Warren Buffet, and see how he lives. Also, look at the late Sam walton and see how he lived. And ditto for Ingvar Kamprad who still drives a 1993 Volvo 240 and flies economy class. And if that does not convince you, look at the richest family in singapore, the Lees. Do you see Hsien Loong or Old Fart being chauffered in a Rolls, or Maybach? Do u see Hsien Yang running around in a Maserati or Ferrari? These people can afford it for sure but don't.

i heard Lee can charter an entire plane.

Evidently it is rubbish spewed by a poor man. You should take the author's advice and practice parsimony in the written word. :rolleyes:

Hello, hello, no need to stalk me just to earn some dole from Lightning to feed your dozen children. Better you go tail Erotica69. Obviously, you are in no position to comment on the problems that arise from being wealthy, including unwelcome hangers on. Apart from being impoverished to the extent of having to spew nonsense on behalf of Lightning you suffer from a disease worse than Lord Chancellor Bacon - parsimony of ideas.

I agree with all your examples....I can think of a few more to add to the list.
Except for the lee clan example....they can't flaunt their wealth because most of it is ill gotten and will turn of the electorate.

the truly rich billionaires families scions like the li ka shing, robert kuok, walter kwok families, shaw families all keep a very low profile as all these families have at least one of the scions kidnapped before and learnt the hard way. all of them have been cautioned by thier patriach or matriach to keep a low profile. their ransom is usually 9 digits minimum!!!! all these pathetic young newbies(feeding off their parents wealth) showing off in the internet make me laugh. showing off a ferrari or lamborghini is nothing but peanuts. showing off 100 ferraris, 200 rolls royces AND 100 lamborghinis in one garage alone is another thing which I have seen with my own eyes.

1) Who the FUCK do you think you are to tell me what to do, you FUCKING useless SON OF A BITCH.

This post demonstrates exactly what I said before. A simple FO would suffice. :rolleyes:

2) This post demonstrates that you are ill bred mongrel who does not know how to mind his own business. Your online behaviour is exactly like Scroobal. Until proven otherwise, I will assume that you are his clone and subject you to the same online treatment.

3) I will write in whatever manner I deem fit and if you don't like it you should do the world a favour - find any building taller than 10 storey and jump off.

4) If you don't know what to do with your opinions about off topic matters like my writing style et cetera, I suggest that you shaft them UP your puny little pussy ass.

5) Do this again and I will reverse stalk you like what I did to Peppertail with my chowka tactics and it will be many times worse - mark my words.

6) Therefore, in my humble opinion, it is not worth my while to waste time on stupid useless FUCKTARDS like you, but should you not heed my warning, I have enough practice with chowka tactics in an internet forum to cause you trouble in an efficient manner.

7) Now, from the kindness of my heart, I will give you what you asked for:

FUCK OFF!

Walter Kwok, you mean the one who built the fugly noah's ark building? Low profile?? LOL. Li ka shing maybe, warren buffet maybe, Lee kong chian maybe but they a minority and are a dying breed. They are alwasys exceptions to the rule. I am not talking about exceptions, im talking about the rule.

Robert Kuok is also a very pious person and upright businessman....nothing but respect for the man.
There's a samster here who claims to be his Neighbour....maybe can shed some light

Another is Li Kashing.

You are wrong, i would say the vast majority of billionaires do not keep a low profile, only a few do. Especially the younger, self made ones. Some are not by choice, but let's just ignore the reasons, just focus on facts.

I just use the examples you provide. Now the key word is "flaunt".

Paul Allen: why must have a billion-dollar yatch?

Bill Gates: Why the HUGE mansion, why not a normal house? Why name your billion-dollar charity after you and your wife?

(Down to earth) Eric Khoo who takes trains: Why did your family donate and not insist that it be named just "yishun hospital"?

To PAPsmearer: why the need to tell us who you had lunch with?:P
