The Richest Of The Rich: How Much Do You Really Know About The .01%?

As some wise philosopher once noted, "Money can't buy happiness, but it sure don't hurt." Or something like that. Point is, we may sing along with Biggie about mo' money, mo' problems and reassure ourselves that "the best things in life are free", "all that glitters is not gold", and countless other platitudes — but do we truly believe it? Or is there some part of us that still suspects life at the tippy top is some utopian wonderland of pleasure and contentment?

Why are so many of us so obsessed with the ultra-rich? Is it because we covet their shiny toys and dream of being one of them? Or is it the inspiring rags-to-riches stories that keep us fixated? Or perhaps a baser element is at work. Is it what the Germans call schadenfreude — a kind of malicious pleasure derived from watching others fail? Do we pay so much attention to the rich and famous because we're hoping for a misstep, a turn of fortune, a fall from grace?

Whatever the reason, many of us just can't seem to get enough of the opulence, eccentricities, and soap opera-like dramas of the ultra-wealthy elite. If you find the lifestyles of the rich and famous utterly fascinating, you will love this quiz series all about the .01%!
