Facing Losses, Billionaire Takes His Own Life

man must had been unbalanced

Wow I guess money doesn't exactly buy you happiness

The folly for love of money and power . No way to undo the damage now.

I feel sorry for the family that he had left behind.

i wonder if im related? Hmmmmmmm

A fool. Most people live on far less. He listened to the wrong thoughts.

The good Lord giveth...and the good Lord taketh away!

He still has way more money than any of us posting a comment combined...he obviously had issues about something else other than financial issues

His business and financial status were 100% of his Self-Identity. When they unravelled, his life ended. His ego was all he had to live for.

This is very sad. The hopelessness he must have felt, must have been overwhelming. I'm sure we'll hear more stories like this. It's too bad someone didn't notice and help him see his blessings.

the pursuit of money merely for money is an empty pursuit that often leads to ruination.

This is becoming a way for some business owners to solve their financial woes! The first I heard of it was about a week or so ago when some guy who had gotten many of his employees caught up in that Madoff debacle, cut his wrists in his office and bled to death! Now we have this Billionaire kill himself, though the story doesn't clearly say how, I assume he laid out across the tracks, over some poor speculation choices! Who is going to be next suicidal Billionaire or Millionaire?! It truly does go to show you that money, greed, and the insatiable appetite for more wealth can kill you! ...If that's truly the case, I'll stick with being a Thousandaire!!

The love of money is the root of all evil
