Young Guns and Their Money

Derek Smalls - Tuesday 01.03.11, 10:08am

If they are honest about it, everyone dreams of being loaded, and we admire (even if we are floored by jealousy) those who have managed to achieve this goal, through whatever means.

But by far the most galling breed of millionaire are those in their teens and twenties who have managed to somehow tap into a seam of wealth that continues to elude those of us with more experience and who, most likely, have spent the majority of our lives putting in a lot more effort.

So how do these millionaire young guns get their hand on all that money? What do they do with it? And why can’t it be us?

Bankers

Much in the news in recent years that we all love to hate are the bankers. Like professional gamblers in suits, those in high finance get paid to play. Signed up straight out of university, with the arrogance of youth still cloaking their shoulders and allowing them to accept the offer of big bucks and bonuses with barely a thought for those whose money has been squandered in the disastrous hedge fund hedonism that immediately precipitated the credit crunch, these slick young things inhabit London’s square mile, wearing pinstripes in a pseudo ironic homage to their eighties yuppie predecessors whom at heart they much admire.

Their millions are spent on extravagant breaks, which they document on their smartphones and upload to social networking sites under the guise of “sharing” so that former friends and casual acquaintances can marvel at their misfortune knowing they will never have that much money in their lives.

Heir Heads

Of course, there are others who have come into money with even less effort, with a new generation of bright young things from the moneyed families of the world thrust daily into our faces. The “heir heads” as they have come to be known make money simply through having money. With their rich parents having been able to pull enough strings to get them the initial exposure required to gain a place in the public consciousness, this talentless tribe is clogging our TV channels with their own reality show, for which they get paid money that they are never likely to need, considering their families’ existing assets.

Poker Players

Now these guys, these guys we can muster a healthy amount of respect for. Yes, they are loaded, but we know how they got that way and, deep down, all of us hope that we might just possibly be capable of following their example. Ok, so it is far too late to become the child of an international magnate, a little past the point where we could train for a career in finance but poker? Well poker we can play on our computers at sites like Party Poker Bonus Codes that we find online even allow us to get some free play in while we are practicing and one day, maybe one day, we will be the minted millionaire that everyone else envies.
