So it's the end of the banking world as we know it, and the western world is collapsing, yada yada. One of the things I'm noticing, is that all these banks and financial institutions like Fannie May, Freddie Mac, AIG, Northen Rock etc, keep getting saved by the their respective governments (the US and UK) because they're "too big" to let fall, and too many people - and other institutions - are dependant on them.

For the first time since the 19th century, us average Brits are about to become richer than the average American, according to a report today. This makes me feel absolutely loaded, despite the fact I've barely got two beans to rub together. Presumably the average American has just half a bean, or something.

Go team Britland! More money here - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7174372.stm

At last, I'm rich! In an obscure notional sense, this site is worth thousands of dollars! See, it says so here - http://www.smartpagerank.com/result.php?domain=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.boinng.com

$3,603 to be exact. That's tens of pounds!

Finally, I feel like I've achieved something in life...

RichesAccording to the Forbes Magazine, Steven Spielberg was the world's highest-earning celebrity last year earning £342 per minute. That's £180m last year ALONE.

In second place was DJ Howard Stern at £163 million!

Third was George Lucas on £127 million!

JK Rowling was the highest-ranked non-American, with Harry Potter earning her £78 per minute!!

Can you believe it? Steven Spielberg earns more in a couple of minutes than the majority of people earn in a week No wonder he looks so smug!!
