Guest MattP Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 Poor old Ken, he was 54th last year and was convinced he was going to break into the top 50 for 2014.
Guest MattP Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 Mattp = 1st undisclosed. Well, you can't let these people know about bank accounts in the Cayman Islands.
Soar Fox Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 Bet they're not happy though, right? Right? Never understood that saying.
Guest MattP Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 Never understood that saying. Probably made up by someone to stop the poor from rioting.
Buce Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 Well, at least we've narrowed down Moose's identity..
bovril Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 Probably made up by someone to stop the poor from rioting. "Money can't buy happiness"? Probably the truest line ever spoken...
ScouseFox Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 thought gary would have more dollar than that tbf
Buce Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 "Money can't buy happiness"? Probably the truest line ever spoken... But it does buy a better class of misery.
Itsthejoeker Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 thought gary would have more dollar than that tbf He's got four kids and a brother sponging off him, plus a young wife to maintain and a divorce...
ScouseFox Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 He's got four kids and a brother sponging off him, plus a young wife to maintain and a divorce... yeah but I just didn't expect englebert to be worth nearly 4 times as much money as him and heskey to be not far behind. still wouldn't complain at 25 mill in my back pocket
DennisNedry Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 Never understood the saying 'Money can't buy you happiness' If not having to work, never worrying about rent/food/bills, having a mansion, having a Ferrari, going on holidays all year round, having all the pussy you could ever want etc doesn't make you happy you may as well just end it all

You don't need money to get 'pussy' either.
Bayfox Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 shows the huge difference in the wages gary picked up as a player and heskey must have pocketed.
Itsthejoeker Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 Wonder whether Cambiasso would get close to that bunch.
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 Why is Gary on there? he lives in London, the titles must be misleading
Rocket-Ron Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 I'm roughly 15,999 million miles away from that list
DennisNedry Posted 11 November 2014 Posted 11 November 2014 You're right, you really haven't understood the saying. You don't need money to get 'pussy' either. I think the saying applies sometimes. For example if you earn £25k in a job you love doing, with enough free time to pursue modest hobbies and spent time with the family, you'll be happier than somebody earning £50k in a stressful long hours job with little life outside of work. However when you get into the stupidly rich category like the above list, it doesn't apply any more. And no, you don't need money, just like you don't need good looks, a six pack, a good personality, or self confidence etc. But it sure as hell helps!

For women all you need is a good sense of humour and smart pair of shoes.
