    millionaire doesn't mean having a million u.s. dollars. it means having a million of a currency.

    does an indian millionaire have the same value of wealth as say an american or european millionaire? no. that doesn't mean he's not a millionaire in his country with his currency though.
    This basically sums it up.

    I'm not even sure why this issue is being debated since it's so elementary.

      because he's pissed off i said pacquiao is a billionaire in philippines.

      i just said it to emphasize that pacquiao is rich enough to hire assassins , he'd be rich enough to give them transportation aside from using his own wife's car.

      that's where this all started from.

      he then started rambling about inflation and currency value.

      if it makes him feel better (and to shut him up) , he can say floyd is a billionaire in philippines too.

        Just gotta say that Arum is very smart. The Godfather will definately stall the Mayweather Pacquiao showdown for politics. Pacquiao will not win because the man his up againts is a very rich. Just think about the consequences. No need for Pacquiao to get involved right now. Not until he have 3 more fights that are left in him.

        People will not vote for Pacman not until his done boxing. Arum still have investments to do. Pacquiao will make money first before he would actually win the next election. My oppinion.

              Looks like the cavs are going to be elbowed out by the Old Celts. Magic will raid the Celts much faster than last year .

              And the Lake Show will win the finals again, as usual.

                  bulls gave them a tough time. they even needed the aid of the refs to win a couple of those games.

                  i doubt the old beantown farts can beat them. they won't beat the magic though.

                    We live in the US. Within a global economy. When you say "billionaire" to another US resident, that has certain connotations. And in a certain context.

                    I have a MBA from the Stern School of Business. I will be more than happy to engage is any macroeconomic discussion you want.

                    Besides, the terms 'millionaire' and 'billionaire' are fluid. Does that mean someone with a million in assets? Does that include house equity? is that just liquid assets? Is the new definition of 'millionaire' someone who makes USD 1 Mn per annum?


                    Additionally, your previous insults and simplistic assumptions were a bit comical to me. No offense. Still, I let them roll off my back because I see that you have a third-world educational mindset.

                    You are comparing the relative costs of living of the average American to the average Filipino. Yes, in that (extremely narrow) sense, you can say that the Manila c-o-l is lower. What you are not taking into account is the amalgam of myriad other economic issues that factor in. Principally, the DESIRED lifestyle of manny pacquiao.

                    Pac isn't rummaging through Payatas. That isn't his lifestyle. Pac is buying luxury goods at a higher cost that Americans or Europeans. Yeah, i saw fatass jinkee carrying a Hermes bag. Pac is buying petrol at a 40 to 50% higher cost than Americans do. In sum, there are many costs that Pac incurs which are actually higher than the costs in most developed countries.

                    I don't want to bore the forum. PM me.
