I do not think a rich person would get involved with anything like this, particularly on a regular basis. How would they be able to determine the website is authentic? Also, how would they be able to establish a persons real need for this type of financial support? Just because they are rich does not mean they are giving. They have more important things to spend their money on, such as a house that is worth millions, two trips to Europe ever year, having a chef make their meals at their home, maybe flying across the States just for dinner at an outrageously expensive restaurant. We cannot forget their million dollar toys like boats or personal helicopters. You do have a nice thought though.

I have a friend that lives his life exactly in this way. He is very stingy with his money, but it is his money that he has earned for himself. One time I was desperate for money in order to pay my bills until I get a part time job. He does consider me a brother of his. Getting money from him is virtually impossible. We are talking about a couple thousand dollars. He makes millions a year. Now he has this customer that wants him to build four factories for them. It is almost a billion dollar contract. He and his partner will be personally making at least $100,000,000. Now he is willing to loan a couple thousand dollars to me. It is his money. So I understand that I cannot expect him to loan me any of his money. This is just how rich people operate.

PS He became bored with flying his five seat helecopter around, so he sold it. He still has his $750,000 boat.
