LIVING OFF DIVIDENDS & PASSIVE INCOME

According to the Australian news website, news.com.au, Paris Hilton has lost her inheritance!

PARTY princess Paris Hilton is $60 million out of pocket after her billionaire grandfather – appalled by her jail term for drink-driving offences – axed her inheritance.Family patriarch Barron Hilton was already embarrassed by his granddaughter’s wild behaviour – notably when her home sex video was leaked on the internet.

But the 79-year-old considered her 23-day sentence last month the last straw.

“He was, and is, extremely embarrassed by how the Hilton name has been sullied by Paris,” says Jerry Oppenheimer, who wrote a biography of the clan called House Of Hilton.

“He now doesn’t want to leave unearned wealth to his family.”

Hilton senior, the only member of the family left with a sizeable stake in the huge hotel chain, has let it be known that he intends to donate to charity the $2.4bn he will gain from this month’s sale of the company to private equity firm Blackstone.  Read more...

Here’s a somewhat decent article on ways to recession-proof your life.

Most of it is common sense. It can be summed up rather simply. Don’t over-spend, over-leverage, over-invest or over-work. Look for side-income opportunities and move if the local economy sucks.

Another aspect is what to invest in. Wealth Building Lessons has a good article on current investment opportunities that would also make good investments during a recession.

Smart money recommends investing in bonds during a recession.

Meanwhile Eric Haller suggests Prisons are the ultimate recession investment.

Maybe Rick Hilton can dream of an Hilton chain of prisons specially catered to the unruly offspring of the rich and famous. He can hire Paris Hilton as consultant on the project, now that she’ll have the relevant work experience!. Yet another arrow in the quiver for “accomplished” actress, singer, writer, night club owner(well sort of), fashion designer and drunk driver!  Read more...

Shock scupltor Daniel Edwards just released a Paris Hilton Autopsy Sculpture. She’s naked, wearing a prom-queen tiara, here legs spread open and has a cellphone in her hand. Her lovable doggie, tinkerbell is also featured. Its in pretty poor taste but he trys to put a positive spin on it by saying it’ll deter teenage drinking.

Anway, you can check out the picture and decide for yourself.

Daniel Edwards is most famous for his god-awful nude Britney Spears giving birth sculpture.

The Minor Thoughts Blog has a brief note on taxing the rich calledTaxing Paris Hilton.

Not necessarily Hilton specific, but the concept is sound. If you do away will all forms of taxation and replace them with a consumption tax, the rich will pay more tax simply because they spend more money.

Unfortunately, the Indian government ruined this relatively simple idea recently with the introduction of the service tax. They kept all forms of tax[including the short term capital gains tax of 10% and long term[12months] tax at 0%, yes ZERO] and just added a 10% service tax on all services [legal and medical services included]. Since the wealthy are likely to have more income from capital gains while everyone pays relatively the same for basic services, this is effectively a tax on poor people. WAY TO GO!
