    The Sunday Independent reveals the top 300 wealthiest people in the country. In a time of economic uncertainty 44 new entrants who have made fortunes are unveiled.

    We reveal the magnificent mansions, the luxury yachts, trophy assets and ask why are all the super rich married to blondes?

    Ireland’s Rich List 2012 is only inside this week’s Sunday Independent.

    Can I be the first to say "Fuck off and die you shite'n rag".
    And all who buy you.

    Wonder how many property developers that were bigged up by that cnuting rag will still be on it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,059 ✭✭✭Sindri


    What would be the approximate dimensions of 'Ireland's Biggest Rich List'?

    You have have tickled my curiosity.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,299 ✭✭✭✭Zebra3

    So what you want censorship on stories about successful people because it makes you feel insecure about your own career failings?

    I've enjoyed reading those lists, always interesting to see what areas of society enterprising people have found opportunities in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,369 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    They should have the big debtor list, so that we can see who the biggest fuck-ups are.

    Well Bono be on it?

    Or his money over in Amsterdam

    Tax is for little people don't you know

    And many of them are not talented and achieved nothing, just living off family inheritance

    More importantly, what attracts these blondes to multimillionaires :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,501 ✭✭✭✭Slydice


    I wonder if they've included all the money that Bertie has been getting while travelling the world making his speeches.

    Money porn.
    Basically a **** mag for those out of touch with moral reality. I know **** mag and moral reality don't really go together.......

    Sean Quinn and family
    Top of the Sunday Times Rich List in April 2008.
    I'd say a fair few lads pulled the stomach out of themselves reading that back then.

    Now we are all paying for Quinn and family through increased insurace premiums.
    Not so many fapping now.

    I'm betting they are not all married to blondes.

    Firstly, because the top 300 will undoubtedly include both men and women, married and single people.

    Enya is not married! She's bound to feature somewhere.

    Bono and The Edge are not married to blondes!

    Perhaps more importantly many of the wives were not blondes when they married, but may have chosen that shade later.

    We should not dwell on such irrelevant questions, nor should we begrudge people money which is honestly earned. I have no doubt that most of the 300 people in the list did earn their money honestly.

    I wonder will someone post "Typical Irish begrudgery" to this thread.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Sean Quinn may have no money but his wife certainly does

    Clever advisors transferring money ;)

    Typical Irish bedbuggery.

    They're all just jealous:rolleyes:

    It's not easy


    Flynn also talked about "the difficulties" in his own life; he talked of having a salary of £100,000 (Irish Púnt) and trying to run three houses, cars and housekeepers along with regular travel.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Late_Late_Show

    Absolutely, if more people were encouraging people of bettering themselves instead of pulling then back to their level.. To much red eye out there....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,029 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone

    Bertie has a female hand puppet with strawberry blonde highlights :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    If it's jealousy and begrudgery from those who object to a vulgar supplement celebrating flashness, then it's simpering, toadying grovelling from those who feel we should look up to our "betters".

    Assumptions are fun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,510 ✭✭✭Ellis Dee


    The cream of the country - rich and thick.:):):)
