How my rich uncle is celebrating an aniversary.

Chartering the whole SS Delphine for a weeks cruise in the Mediterranean with his family. My parents are there. Just called me. Lying outside of Monaco at the moment. Great week ahead. Me? Had to work..

Price: For a week. Depending on season: 245-360 000 Euro!

I am frantically chanting the good old slogan: Money does not make you happy. Money does not make you happy. Money does..Oh, Bugger me. What a load of crap!!!

Have a look see at the link below:

I will no longer feel bad about sleeping in the guest bedroom when my parent rent a house in Hawaii.

Indeed.
He started out making a fortune parallel importing medicine from Italy to Sweden. Since then kept building a pile of money investing in variety of medical device projects.
I am sure he is not generally more happy than me, but he does have the means to enriching the amount and level of experiences in life. Strangely enough it has not change him one bit. He is still the same down to earth guy I always knew. Prefers very casual dressing and never ever brags about his achievements.

Edit: I am still a bit hang over. Spell Check corrected almost ten words in this post..
