id say richard branson must be farely pleased with himself, what with his own island, and all that money.

Yeah I'd definitely say an entrepreneur like Richard Branson, someone who started out with something small and watched it all grow around them (including his bank balance!) He also has a lovely family, happy marriage, and comes across as just an all-round nice guy.

But isnt that what Tom has done? Given happiness to millions if not billions through his movies and he seems very happy most of the time.

You could be slightly overstating the joy Tom has brought to the world. But he did get to ride your one from dawsons creek, so that's pretty cool, especially for a midget.

Nicolas Cage is like the opposite of this though, everyone hates him for no apparent reason. Including me.


The bastard.

I like him. Stick men, raising arizona, lord of war, leaving las vegas eh, con air, that thing where his head is on fire etc etc- all (ok some) excellent films.

id say Bono. Loads of money, millions of fans. He's been gigging all over the world since he was a teenage, won dozens of music and humanitarian awards. Met dozens of famous and admired people, done amazing works for charity and is now a political as well as musical figurehead. He also has a loving family.

Nah, he's a cock.
All sunglasses and preaching, no actually handing over any of his own vast pile of largely undeserved money.


I'm going to go with Bill Gates/Warren Buffet - actually handed over billions of their own money to innoculate third world kids from easily preventable diseases. You reading this bono, you self important knob jockey!!

Paul Newman.

Actor (won every major award),Director, Entrepeneur and humanitarian-He set up his own food company and from the profits was able to donate over 300 million dollars to charity over the years. Was an avid racing driver, even owned his own racing team!! Served in WW2, earned a bachelors degree, attended Yale! Was placed 19th on Richard Nixons enemies list . He lived into his 80's and was happily married for 50 years to the beautiful Joanne Woodward.

I think most actors don't live fulfilling lives due to their egos and insecurities and the nature of the business and fame game grinding them down. Newman seems like one of the very few exceptions.
