Richest Irishman declared Bankrupt.

purch

Fermanagh businessman Sean Quinn - once believed to have been Ireland's richest man - has been declared bankrupt.

Quinn was reputedly worth 4.72bn euros (£3.7bn) at the height of his business success.

Apparently much of the money was lost trading in CFD's on Bank shares :eek:

Well I suppose that means he is no longer the richest man in Ireland and technically I am considerably richer than him.

However in reality I'm sure he will continue to live in his 10 bedded mansion or whatever he has and drive around in his Bentleys etc. Isn't there something intrinsically wrong with that?

People like this just stand up, dust themselves down, and make their millions once more - you just have to admire them.

Content with my life in a way I dont need to fabricate a false life on an internet forum.

Not everyone is like you, you know, most on here appear to be happy to be pretty honest about themselves. Maybe without all the false claims you would be taken a little more seriously... just a thought, eh?

You make these statements without a single shred of evidence to back them up ..... talk is cheap, back up what you say or just accept that some are more successful than you .... just a thought, eh?

How about you tried backing up your own statements, statements without a single shred of evidence to back them up ..... talk is cheap, back up what you say or just accept that some are more successful than you .... just a thought, eh?

Anyway, i'll leave you to a night bigging yourself up on the internet, have fun

It's not me doubting them .... it's YOU and it's YOUR problem - get over the fact that others may be more successful than you .... it does happen, it has happened ... just a thought, eh?
