“So, you're seeing the Rolls-Royces and the Bentley's still selling for big prices. You're seeing jewelry still selling, art works at auction. There was a diamond that sold for I think 38 million, 48 million, something like that just a week ago. So prices are back up to their highs, getting stronger and more and more people seem to have more and more money to spend.” PeopleThinkingArtStillsBigsSeemsMillionsSeeingWeekStrongerSellingDiamondMore MoneyJewelryAuctionsRolls RoyceGetting StrongerBentley Author:Robin Leach

“It hurts to see that everything on television is based on pillaring people. Nobody's sort of given the opportunity to be nice anymore.

“I think that the spirit of America is still very much one of where people want to work hard and the majority of people want to work hard. They want to be entrepreneurs. But when you have that all taken away with government regulation or with government overbearance of taxation, you start to wonder whether if it's even worthwhile because who are you really working for?
