He isn't exactly a beacon to the huddled masses. to those people who struggle to make ends meet...he owns the great house in Hollywood Hills that used to belong to Laurence Olivier..and he has an estimated 15 million in the bank......not small change is it...and he isn't going to be wondering where the money is coming from to pay the winter gas bill.
No, all this political spouting he has done recently is to raise his celebrity profile to sell tickets for his latest tour(currently priced at £50 a pop).....more dosh into his bank account

Yeh but he's obviously very clever - so what would you do if you were rich? Give it all the poor?
