Hamilton Nolan · 05/17/13 02:17PMOften, when we hear of some finance wizard accumulating a vast fortune at a young age just by moving money around, we grumble, "That rich asshole should just retire and give all his money away to charity."

Taylor Berman · 04/21/13 08:19PMReese Witherspoon Arrested, Shouts 'Do You Know My Name?' at Police
Taylor Berman · 04/21/13 06:15PMDrunk driving is, generally speaking, a bad idea, even if you're, say, the husband of a wealthy movie star. A worse idea? Deciding to drunkenly berate the police officers arresting your husband, especially if you're the famous movie star wife of the person getting arrested.
