I am told he has given away two millions! That is an exact tenth of his fortune. He is a religious man in this respect he has outdone most of his brother millionaires. However, he still has an income of over a million a year enough to satisfy most of his modest needs.
In homely phrase, the millionaires did not know how to behave themselves. Accustomed to the counting-house, the factory, or the exchange, they looked queer in saloons, and said 'Sir! when they addressed you; and seemed stiff, and hard, and hot.
I'm opposed to millionaires, but it would be dangerous to offer me the position." "You'd take it?" "I would leave the funeral of my dearest enemy to go and assume its burdens and responsibilities." Tracy thought a while, then said: "I don't know that I quite get the bearings of your position. You say you are opposed to hereditary nobilities, and yet if you had the chance you would " "Take one?
Adler asserted: "Before the Civil War there were three millionaires; now there are 4,000." The error of this assertion is evident. Parton's "Life of John Jacob Astor":80-81. Proceedings of the Board of Assistant Aldermen, xxix, Doc. No. 24.
Matters had thereafter come to such a pass with Charlie that he had reached the pages of The Daily Picture, and was reputed to be arousing the jealousy of youthful millionaires in the United States; also the figure which he paid weekly for rent of his offices in the Grand Babylon Hotel was an item of common knowledge in the best clubs and not to know it was to be behind the times in current information.

Gilverthwaite having so much money that ten pounds was no more to him than ten pence to me was, of course, all nonsense, said just to quieten her fears and suspicions I knew well enough, having seen a bit of the world in a solicitor's office for the past six years, that even millionaires don't throw their money about as if pounds were empty peascods.

It is tinged with that hideous Free Trade spirit of England, by which cotton kings became millionaires while cotton spinners were treated far worse than any chattel slaves.
"Oh no, not I," said Sylvie, shaking her head with a touch of half melancholy scorn, "I am not a 'professional' beauty! The Prince of Wales does not select me for his admiration, hence it follows that I cannot possibly be an attraction in Europe.
