Interesting topic, but I don't see the reason why some people get bent out of shape about discussing this topic. I grew up broke, and always tried to learn from those that had achieved some level of success. I'm still learning. I also share what I've learned along the way, to those interested in doing something with the information. To the casual commenter that just makes some sort of wiseguy remark, stereotyping others for having nicer toys as not having earned it, I don't have time for those people. Like Stuart said, those people have a "me" problem with themselves. I know numerous people from all income levels that are 100% content with their lifestyles, nothing wrong with that. I've always had pride and have always been driven, no matter what my current paycheck at the time stated. That drive, ambition, and action is what the haters lack. It is much easier to sit back, be lazy, and criticize and be envious, instead of getting off your ass and doing what it takes to reach a desired level of financial success.

Also, Greg's statement about net worth vs annual income are pretty damn accurate. Having a 7+ figure net worth doesn't make someone live some sort of extravagant lifestyle, jet setting across the globe, having 20 exotic cars, and multiple mansions. Those guys have the 9+ figure net worth nowadays. I'd love to get there someday.
