I think lots of people who don't necessarily need money work anyway. And if they have money already and a well-known name as Avalon does, they have even more choices about the work they do than most of us do. But there are wealthy people all around us in our own families and neighbors working for more than money.

I don't begrudge the rich earning more money. I just think since they do have more opportunity, they also have more responsibility to use their wealth for far more than just living well themselves. Fortunately, many, many of them do just that in their support of charities, museums, the arts, scientific research, etc.

I've often heard Dave Ramsey say that one of the best reasons for getting out of debt and then spending what we have carefully is that then we can give to others more freely. He's talking about all of us who have anything extra up to multimillionaires like him and all the way up to the very top levels of the billionaires. It's okay to earn and have - it's necessary to give.

He's been pitching products for decades. I recall him on HSN in 1990. People like getting a look at him and the chance to call in and say hello. I'm sure he enjoys feeling connected with a huge audience, many of whom are old enough to have been his fans in his heyday.

Maybe he just likes doing what he's doing. Some people have more than one passion. The only difference between him and vendors that go from selling one kind of item to another is that he was known for acting.

Seems like many go from one shopping channel to another. I guess when the audience/patrons no longer are interested in their product(s), they move on.

He used to be partners in an Italian Restaurant in Westlake, CA -- so his being Italian, food is very important. He also has 8 children and is married to the same woman for many, many years. He's one celebrity that has a great reputation. We're the same age - so I remember him well.

All I have to say is, it will be a cold day in H*ll before I pay over $50.00 for a cake I could probably make myself.
