THE TOP 10 STUPIDEST THINGS SAID BY INCREDIBLY ANNOYING RICH PEOPLE (from the 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said by Ross & Kathryn Petras)   1.  Trust me, after taxes, a million dollars is not a lot of money. – Republican National Chairman Michael Steele 2,  It’s the summer season coming up, so my patients must have [plastic surgery] tuneups. But instead of doing liposuction on seven areas, they’re doing three or four. These decisions are so painful. – plastic surgeon Pamela Lipkin explaining the difficulties of the economic downturn 3.  What was hard [during this recession] was giving up my live-in maid five days a week. My daughter said, do we really need somebody? So I cut back, and I just hired somebody for two days. And you know, it kind of brought our family together. We cook together more as a family. Normally when the housekeeper was there cooking for us, my husband would be off with the paper and I would be on the phone with my friends and the kids were doing homework. I do have the woman make one extra dinner for us though, and one or two nights we do order in, and a lot of times we will go out. – Real Housewives of New York City star Ramona Singer  4.  I can't understand all the fuss about student grants. Carol managed to save out of hers. Of course, we paid for her skiing holidays . . .  – British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher talking about how easy it is to save for college. 5.  There’s no way to make everybody rich. I don’t even know if it’s worth the trouble because the life of a rich person, in general, is very boring. – President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Brazilian president (who was then running for re-election) in a speech in the Parque Royale slum outside of Rio.

Like a quilt-making thing to send dresses down there. friend: Yeah, and think of the therapy they need as well. 7.  A million pounds is not a lot of money. – actress Catherine Zeta-Jones 8.  Don Simpson had no money. Maybe $30 million at the most. That's nothing. – hairdresser turned producer Jon Peters (He later told the Daily News he didn't say this, adding "I'd never put Don Simpson down, he's a sweet guy.") 9.  I think she's worth about $7 million, which means she's really poor. – billionaire’s grandson Brandon Davis on actress Lindsay Lohan 10.  I always lived very frugally.
