I just saw a list of the top ten and he wasn't even on it. This morning I heard news reports that Bezos was number one and had just picked up a few billion more.

I did a little searching and it's today's news that he's reached the pinnacle.

I wonder how he lives? If I had all the money I could ever spend , I wouldn't want to live any differently than I do now.

You might not, but I would @cherry

I would like a cook who knew how to make healthy meals with fresh produce and make it taste good. Restaurant food is not all that healthy.

It depends on where and what you eat. My favorite places aren't fast food ,and they make everything from scratch

I believe he's 54, married and has four children. Very well educated.

Here's a sampling of his businesses and life-style. Mind you, these were a few years ago.

I wasn't referring to fast food @cherry

There have been several reports about restaurant food not being very healthy.

Here's one...

Restaurant Meals Are Just As Unhealthy As Fast Food

Fast food is associated with clogged arteries, obesity and overall poor health, but full-service restaurants are often serving up even more sodium and cholesterol than their quicker counterparts.

New research published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that, compared to meals prepared and eaten at home, both fast food and full-service fare is linked to increased fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and calorie consumption. But while the increases in calories and fat was consistent for both types of eateries, the study revealed that sit-down restaurants added even more sodium and cholesterol to their meals than fast food outlets.

It goes on... available online at Huffington Post 7/20/15

ps There are many more articles available online which come to the same conclusion.

The average working stiff can't even begin to imagine what they would do with all that money. We're boxed in by what we know personally.

These kinds of people are adventurous, they invest, they create and they explore with their money.

We're sitting here worrying about what he eats and he's planning trips to space and building huge medical centers.

@Noel7 Not to mention how clean are some places. There is a Blue Plate award here and the few times we eat out we look for those restaurants with perfect scores.

A very popular Chinese buffet restaurant (gag) was found to be defrosting their chicken on the floor of the kitchen.

You don't know who washes their hands, who sneezed on food prep, who coughed, who left meat out to defrost-the gag factor list goes on.

I'm extremely picky anyway.
