when you make the kinda f*ck you money howard does and have a model wife, why wouldn't you have a sh*t eating grin if u were him?
This is where I know I'm totally in the minority but just because he earns a ton! of money won't make him any happier. Howards deal was well known and most people know what he makes a year at SIRIUS. Everyone doesn't look at him like a normal human being they look at him like their ticket to something.
Anyone from Wackpackers, to other on air staff, to people like Riley Martin and Gene Simmons just focus on his money. Like he doesn't deserve it. Everyone around him wants a handout for something. And I'm sure some have a reason to be paid better.
Some days I'm really generous. And some days I might not be. But I can only imagine that from Howards perspective every day is like dealing with the most aggressive pan handlers ever. From every angle including those whom maybe are his friends. To me, that's the ultimate hell, realizing all those around you only care about money. It's the reason I never play or desire to win the lottery. Because all it would really do is make you realize how shallow everyone really is.
But that's just me.
