I'm Beginning To Believe That Rmoney Is Worth More Money Than They've Estimated..... [View all]

I've heard estimates in the press/MSM that Rmoney is worth $250 million. Given all he's been said to be involved with while at Bain - I'm thinking that he's worth at least 2 to 3 times that amount if not more.

So then I ponder - why would a person having so much money want to be president? Why wouldn't a person just want to kick back and enjoy life and be comfortable? Why would a person want to take on the responsibility of the presidency? It just doesn't make sense to me.
