The descendants of John D., the first billionaire.
They are considered one of the wealthiest American dynasties.
These are people who might use the word "summer" as a verb.
I think I would make a great rich person. I've never had a lot of money, but I'm pretty sure if I did, I wouldn't be a dick about it. I know everyone says it, but I'd honestly give a lot of it away - anonymously. Sure, I'd do a few things for myself, like put a new roof on my house and get some dental work done, but I wouldn't buy fancy cars or clothes or yachts. I'd spend 4 to 6 months a year donating my labor to some philanthropy like Habitat For Humanity. I'd use my wealth to support the arts and those who want to be creative.
If I ever do become rich, I promise to always pick up the check and always leave a big tip, even if the service sucks. I promise to give money to any homeless person I encounter and I won't judge them if they spend it on liquor or drugs. I promise to put change in any parking meter that's about to expire. I promise to give any exonerated prisoner something they've always wanted. I promise to never complain about paying a lot of taxes. Mostly, I promise to never be corrupted or jaded by wealth.
And I promise to take you all on a nice trip somewhere. Where should we go?

I promise that if you ever get rich I wouldn't complain about getting a lot of your money!
I've always wanted to use "summer" as a verb. But I think when you have that much money, it's pronounced "summah."
Would you at least get diamond-studded dental work?
We should buy our own island in the Mediterranean, and call it "Blogger Island," and Chris should form a trust to help bloggers around the world get away from their computers and get a little sun, for pete's sake.
Yeah, only Megan couldn't live there because SHE DOESN'T BLOG ANYMORE!
