Rich fools there be

Rich fools there be, whose base and filthy heart
Lies hatching still the goods wherein they flow:
And damning their own selves to Tantal's smart,
Wealth breeding want, more blist more wretched grow.

Yet to those fools heav'n such wit doth impart
As what their hands do hold, their heads do know,
And knowing love, and loving, lay apart,
As sacred things, far from all danger's show.

But that rich fool who by blind Fortune's lot
The richest gem of love and life enjoys,
And can with foul abuse such beauties blot;

Let him, depriv'd of sweet but unfelt joys,
(Exil'd for aye from those high treasures, which
He knows not) grow in only folly rich.

Sir Philip Sidney - Sonnet XXIV

About £2000 a month average. After years as an apprentice and earning a crap wage it pays off eventually.

I don't work, but If I was 18, I could legally make a shit load from all the sites I run, soon though I'll start making some earnings from them.

Rich beyond your wildest imaginings brahahahahahahahahahaha....

Well, come to think of it, I do have my own house. We bought it about 11 or 12 years ago for dirt cheap and it has roughly tripled in value since then.
Unfortunately, I am not remotely interested in selling, so this is not liquid wealth by any means.
Also, being currently laid off has put something of a cramp in my style.

if one were "rich," and one were to post it on an internet message board, one would be an idiot.

No.

i'm one of pork's rent boys but he doesn't pay very well!

Yes. 20 something years later.
