I never had the financial means that the media said I had. I laugh when I hear the amounts, $400 million, $800 million. Where do they get this imagination?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The press called me a billionaire, and my wife came up and said I must be squirreling money away.
The media tries to do what they do. You can't stop. You gotta get money.
The American public is rightfully asking, 'Hey, all those funds are coming out of my pocket, so I want to know where they're going.'
The money in politics is a cash cow for the media.
I'm blessed to have these billions of dollars.
The media's worried about whether I've paid my taxes; they're worried about any number of silly things that have nothing to do with America.
We were all hit with sticker shock: $87 billion is a huge number.
I read in the papers how much I'm earning and fall about laughing because I'm sure it's not that much; otherwise, I'd have an enormous boat. I'm literally not the slightest bit interested in money. I just don't pay any attention to money; it's rather vulgar.
People always think you have a lot of money when they see you on TV.
With every story that TV covers, somebody - some corporation, some shareholders - are making money. That's true whether covering Libya, Iraq, the tsunami in Japan, Osama bin Laden, whatever story there is. That day, the shareholders are making money off it. Every newspaper that's sold, somebody's making a dime.
