"....Money cant buy happiness but can it buy personal safety?" One of the opening lines of this documentary which features Warren Buffet's personal body guard. Note the title: DANGEROUSLY RICH BILLIONAIRE SUPER SECURITY. at 1:30 into they quote a tweet from Facebook backer Sean Parker: Due to the 140 character limitation his question is truncated but he is asking: "WAS LIFE BETTER BEFORE?" Its the revelation that MORE money does NOT equate to more happiness. It actually means MORE PROBLEMS. This is what truly "immensely wealthy" people face. Thousandaire and Millionaire posers can strut through life blowing bubbles with a relatively low level of concern. Not so for those with immense wealth ... they not only have to worry about their own safety, but that of their entire family. Kidnap and ransom is a constant concern.
