Envy. It's a shame that most people would rather rich people didn't have that kind of money than trying to work out how to manage it themselves.

Although I have to say I think rich people who only get enjoyment by spend their wealth to just to advertise the fact they have that kind of money are a bit sad.

Richard Branson seems like a fairly cool rich person, spending his money on adventures 'n such. I'd like to similar things if I had lots of money - enjoying experiences that having that kind of money will allow, rather than what you can actually buy.
