The Clippings: Nick and Mariah Squash All Envy – They Belong Together | Watch
October 25, 2011
VideoBuzz: Not sure what Barbara Walters and producers had in mind. Some say Nick Cannon didn’t fair too well in the interview. The twittersphere felt the interview with music and entertainment’s top couple came off quite Tyson/Givens like. If you watched it, it is odd. In fact I really don’t know what to say here. Except… this interview squashes all envy — they belong together — forever. Speaking of Ph.D, the kids won’t have to go far for a dissertation topic. Video embed courtesy of MCGenerationForum

Atlanta ranked No. 8 on the list, with 960 ultra-high net worth individuals, which defined as anyone worth at least $30 million when accounting for shares in public and private companies, residential and investment properties, art collections, planes, cash and other investible assets.
Does this explain #OccupyAtlanta? Is this why the city has its own namesake as part of the Bravo Housewives franchise? Are you revising your vision board now that you know $30M is the ceiling for the ultra-high net worth individuals? Or are you planning to play the lottery more?
