"Why Do Billionaire Icons Commit Suicide?"

Billionaires are dropping like flies

Like financier Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet, another billionaire aristocrat mogul has tragically opted to commit suicide after the collapse of their family business. Adolph Merckle, a hard working, good and decent man, apparently got involved in the casino like derivatives market and lost a large part of his fortune betting on the failure of another business, coupled with the housing crisis undermining his cement business. The thought of the losses to his thousands of employees and investors was obviously more than he could bear. I pray his family will overcome their grief and salvage some of what Mr. Merckle built up in his lifetime. "Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning" is what the Bible promises. Rest in peace, Adolph Merckle.

Is there something else going on here we should know about?
Why are people who are still filthy rich offing themselves? It seems that some of these NWO types are offing themselves at an alarming rate. I mean some of them loose half their net wealth and still have way more than I'll ever dream of making and yet they do themselves in. Or do they?

Is somebody doing them in or are they doing this because of preasure from the higher ups?

Could this be the result of a massive NWO power struggle behind the scenes?

Apparently the article is saying that they feel guilty? It's okay, rich people, don't feel guilty. Give me the money to pay for college and then the world will be much better.

Hmm well to make this simple. There is no one power group that rules the world just yet. Its in the phase of the card game right now.

And these Billionaires who are meeting death, have just put down their hand.

However this is not a game for the meak of heart. They are playing for keeps, and this is as real as it gets!

Its sad to note, men of such power, are so absolutely weak when it comes to terms of our lifes.
I mean really.. Non of these guys would last 10 mins in our shoes.

I don't know, what could they be thinking?

Is the thought of being average that horrible?

You know, I have never even owned a home, but I do know people that have and lost them, they don't seem to recover, sometimes it is better to have never had, then have had, then lose it.

Maybe it is because the almighty dollar is their god/idol, when it is gone they have nothing to draw strength from.

Shallow self-absorbed lives?

I'm sorry I was laughing so hard I was speechless for like ten minutes I had to wipe the tears from my eyes

the latest theory I heard was that the trillionairs do not want any competition from the Billionaires when it comes to crunch time.

just like a bigger company buying out all the little companies to take away any competition.

so these billionairs may be getting a helping hand with their demise and are a little more reluctant than doing it themselves.

less room at the top of the pyramid, and you do need a gap between the top and the next level dowm.

I don't know, perhaps the thought of living off tens of millions is just unsatisfactory when you're used to living off billions.

Oh, the humanity of it all!

In short - Greedy, Dishonest a-holes!

by those reports it sounds like he was an ok guy.

but being a billionaire doesn't make you immune to all the ills and woes that can come of being human. may he rest in peace and his family and loved ones find the strength to carry on through this difficult time for them.

Well lets do a news watch say for the next 6 months to a year and see who else offs themselves.

I'm curious to see if there really is some kind of NWO elitist power struggle going on.

I guess the sort of people likely to murder billionaires find suicide to be the best way of covering up the crime.

I wonder how many of them died of giving themselves a scratch across the wrists, or shot themselves three times in the back after disposing of their gun.

Like that scene from Team America
Where his boss tells him if he is caught that he may have to take his own life and then slides him an old rusty hammer to use just in case.

I don't know them, so I'm only guessing. Maybe they can't cope with losing "so much" money? Maybe they see these huge numbers, millions or billions or whatever, that they have lost on the market, and it's too much for them to handle?

Why does anybody commit suicide? People from all walks of life kill themselves.

My husband killed himself and he had a great future and everything to live for.

Suicide, like death, knows no boundaries. Men, women, young people, rich and poor commit suicide.

The question of why do people kill themselves is a question that has haunted me for the entire 38 years since my husband blew his brains out. I will never understand.

Sad to hear that, I believe that it is impossible for you to find the answers you seek but I hope you do find the peace you deserve.


Let us not forget how little human life really is worth, and the more you pin your life to any one thing you do the "less complete" you feel without it. It is kinda like the factory worker who kills himself after his factory is closed, or the farmers who crops fail, or the craftsman whose skill has become antiquated. In our society we seem to be valuing people less and less, it is all most as if your only value is what status symbols you wear, drive and live in, and if being human gets in the way of being consumer than you have a mental issue attitude, but I digress.

One thing I've noticed is people who kill themselves either tend to be REALLY good people or REALLY bad. Either the wonderful father everyone loved or the serial killer not wanting to face judgement. Sorta the light that burns twice as bright burns twice as fast.

Regardless, this is an isolated case, if the massively wealthy offed themselves for destroying money than Wall Street would be having an eclipse. Of course a shrine should be built to this businessman from China...

Ok I can see that but I was watching the tube the other night and this German guy was still in the top 100 wealthiest man even after he lost half of his net worth.
