Right at the bottom, John Key was teetering on the $50m cut-off threshold, down $5m from last year.

The Prime Minister, who made his money as a currency trader owns several properties around New Zealand and around the world.
Because of his political position, his money is invested for him in a blind trust, meaning he doesn't actually know where it is held so cannot be accused of political interference to line his own pocket.

Seriously are they trying to convince us that he has no idea or control of his OWN money and has NO advisors on policy to not only protect but increase his wealth FFS

Who cares?

All on here seem to be in love with Dotcom and his only attribute is he is wealthy so whats the difference?

Nah Dotcom's attribute is his fight over his servers and their contents. His money might have been his only attribute of worth for immigration and their political masters.

So why does it seem that the country has fell in love with this "rich prick" when they hate all others?

First sentence. We love a fighter when he's the underdog and against the USA media rights groups he is the underdog, we don't like being told we can't have content that is available else where, we don't like being ripped off (look at the threads on here about getting stuff cheaper off the web) and we, like Aussie, pay more than other countries.

But if you just want to focus on being jealous of his money, you go right ahead. For the rest of the country that will come after he has won his battle with the media moguls, if he loses he might still get sympathy and wont be as rich.

He's not a fighter, he has lawyers for that.
It has nothing to do with content, it is the not paying for things.
No one likes being ripped off, still can't see the relevance.

But when the top rating tv shows are about scum criminals I can see why you would back dotcom.

Never have or ever will be jealous of money, not the main part of my life.

Because he seems to have become "our" rich prick, against the faceless tyranny of government and a . foreign country...?

[Robert Taylor]

The politics of envy are alive and well in NZ. I personally have no problem with anyone becoming a ''rich prick'' Providing:

1) They do so legitimately

2) They dont rip anyone off

3) They do something that is productive for the country and carry people along with them, as opposed to making money out of speculation. ( on that score I am at odds with John Key but he is still on balance better than the alternatives )

4) They invest back into the local economy

and 5) My pet hate, that they dont get preyed upon by all and sundry for a ''free lunch'' I.E ''let him pick up the bar tab, hes got the money"' ( and I took advantage by ordering more drinks )

ps , I cant breakeven , as fast as I produce it I drink it .....might have to step up production ,,,,,Costco , for sugar then ...

heh... evil debt, evil credit, evel knievel, evil edna, evil law makers... but fear not... cutting up your credit cards means that you won't run the risk of going in to debt and if you do, well at least you did so honestly, everyone in America should be taught financial awareness... which unfortunately was the one thing missing from the doco. If they really wanted to teach awareness they'd teach that money comes from one place. Banks. The banks issue this money as a loan, more commonly referred to as debt. Someone has to be in debt and weeeeeeeee around and around we go... but apparently, as long as no one goes in to debt everything will be ok, the economy will thrive, 90% of divorces won't happen and the lovely folk on capital hill will do what's right instead of what pays well . Tis truly tragic to see that people believe that no one having debt would redress the balance for everyone. Still, people are a sucker for brand loyalty and money has a seriously good brand hardly surprising that they can't do without it the world will end, we'll all head back to the stone age, communism will rise (that's non-consumerist communism ), my entitlement complex won't be serviced, people might start using their brains, OMG what a catastrophe. Best to roll over and play dead whilst the brains trust deal with the issue, they've been doing well so far.
