I made a list of people who needed just a little bit of money. And when the list was complete, there were 42 names. The total amount of money they needed was $27. I was shocked.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE

I'm the only person I know who's got a bunch of money.
Most people need the money all the time.
I made a penny for each paper delivered every day, plus 2 cents for Sunday papers. I had 120 customers. For a 10-year-old kid in the 1940s, that was a lot of money.
Don't matter how much money you got, there's only two kinds of people: there's saved people and there's lost people.
I think that people who make a lot of money - and I do - should certainly give a considerable amount of it away.
I lost $4 million of other people's money between the ages of 24 and 26.
After being on 'Oprah' for a couple of months, I got my first royalty check for $1,478,392.17. I will never forget it. At the height of my career, I made $3.3 million. Unbelievable. From welfare in the projects to $3.3 million.
Sudden money is going from zero to two hundred dollars a week. The rest doesn't count.
We were all hit with sticker shock: $87 billion is a huge number.
