After more than two years and more than 200 posts, I thought it might be time to freshen up The Rich Life. As the WordPress blogging platform continues to evolve, I’ll be adding additional features to this site, but, for now, the changes are primarily cosmetic. I hope you like them.

As we approach the beginning of a new year, it’s a nice coincidence that I’m able to celebrate with this, my 100th post on The Rich Life. Writing a blog is a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun, and I hope you’ve enjoyed reading my posts as much as I’ve enjoyed writing them.
Happy New Year!

As we approach the end of the first year of The Rich Life, I thought it might be interesting to take a look at the ten posts that have received the most hits. Here they are, in order, according to the WordPress hit counter:
• From the sublime to the ridiculous, get ready for the Michael Jackson auction
• Let’s dissect Bernard Madoff’s American Express bill
• The difference between good art and bad art
• The upcoming election in Palm Beach
• Bernard Madoff’s Palm Beach mansion has been redecorated
• Get ready to bid, the Yves Saint Laurent auction at the Grand Palais begins today!
• It is prudent to adhere to the speed limit while driving your Bentley in Palm Beach
Consistent with my intentions for this blog, the most popular posts are divided among current events, with the Michael Jackson auction far in the lead (in fact, there was such a spike in hits on the day of his death that I thought that the WordPress hit counter was broken) and Bernard Madoff’s American Express card also attracting a great deal of attention, and miscellany related to Palm Beach and Paris.
If you are a new or inconsistent reader of The Rich Life, I encourage you to click on the links shown above and read each of these posts. Consider them to be a “greatest hits” of The Rich Life.
