“My wife and I were invited to have lunch with one of the wealthiest men in the world. He was seventy-five years old. Tears came down his cheeks. “I am the most miserable man in the world,” he said. I have everything anyone could ever want. If I want to go anywhere, I have my own yacht or private plane.

He was vivacious and full of life, and he told us, “I don’t have a penny to my name, but I’m the happiest man in the world!”
