4. It's a lot easier being poor if you start out with little to begin with.

Some of these 'Fat Cats' are in for a big shock when their lifestyle goes up in smoke.

Here's a good case in point. Even the dogs get their due.

Vick wants to play, but what team would risk it?

By TIM DAHLBERG, AP Sports Columnist Nov 15, 2:35 pm EST
Michael Vick lives in a prison in Kansas, making 12 cents an hour while plotting his return to the NFL. His houses and farms will soon be gone, the two yachts are history, and he’s down to his last couple of Range Rovers.

A race horse he bought for $60,000 died of colic, the Atlanta Falcons are still trying to hit him up for millions they paid him, and the IRS and the state of Georgia want nearly $1 million in back taxes.

--snip--

Best of all, the dogs who survived the terror of Vick’s dogfighting ring are having the last laugh.
