American Millionaires
There are 9 million millionaires in the States. According to this article at Slate, there are five different types:
"Thrillionaires - conspicuous consumers"
"Coolionaires - rich aesthetes"
"Realionaires - practical, unassuming, hate to spend money unnecessarily"
"Wellionaires - splurge to make sure they look good, feel healthy, and stay in good shape"
"Willionaires - used to be known as Old Money"
If and when I make my fortune, I'd like to think my midwest values would kick in and I'd become a 'realionaire' but if I look into my heart, there lurks a 'wellionaire', up for every kind of massage and new age therapy.
