Entry: The Ugliest Yacht in the World Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_ugliest_yacht_in_the_world#33084 Post contents: All excessive wealth is ill-gotten wealth. Simply, you can not accumulate a fortune by working 9 to 5 and having the Bible in your pocket the same time. Now, spending that kind of wealth with good taste, like Taki, or with bad taste, like Andrey, doesn't change an iota this Fundamental Principle. Even when an excessive accumulation of wealth- above of what is generally perceived as to be a normal wealth by the public- is has been lawfully accumulated doesn't mean that it is not ill-gotten wealth, thanks to the specific laws set up expressively for those purposes or to the express largesses of those holding power. For Taki's fortune for example, thanks to the concessions of the Greek government, for Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan, Bennett... well, we know the story. Sent at: 2008 12 02
