ronald perelman

this happy fellows name is ronald perelman. he should be happy. he is worth 9.5 billion dollars. part of his self making, if not all, was from leveraged buyouts. i am guessing you have to have quite a bit of money to start with to have the leverage to buy anything or anyone out. where his orginal fortune comes from is not clear. the gleefully wealthy do not seem to easily or openly say that they came from money to begin with. possibly it takes away from their self worth to admit that they started out wealthy and so weren't the pioneering money brigand that i imagine most of them like to consider themselves. i know that last sentence was an affront to english as a language but i got carried away in the moment of passion and so it will just have to stand. ronald has no apparent actual business at which to find him and send him a friendly letter. he is the ceo of macandrews and forbes holdings inc. however so i will put that as a good possible place to reach him. as chipper as he looks, and despite being divorced and having six kids, i think hoping that he'll be happy to hear from us.
