Oh sure, you may think that when you have a cool $7 million in the bank, life is all wine and roses. But that's wrong. Rich people do have problems, and the latest high drama out of Laguna Beach (average household income around $216,000) proves it:
Bond King Bill Gross has finally won the turf war against his neighbor over a million dollar art installation at the billionaire's California beachfront home.
After a lengthy legal battle, the former PIMCO CEO and his wife, Amy Gross, have won approval from Laguna Beach lawmakers to keep their $1 million, 10-foot-tall cobalt glass sculpture installed in his backyard.

The Grosses filed a complaint that Towfiq was a "peeping Tom" and that he had cameras directed at them — a situation that made them feel like they were "in prison."
Towfiq filed his own complaint alleging the couple were "bullies" and that they blared loud music — namely the Gilligan's Island theme song on repeat. ...
Both parties filed restraining orders against each other.
I gotta say, after seeing how rich people settle their beefs, I'm over here in my solidly-middle-class, perfectly pleasant neighborhood like:
Seriously though, that sculpture is dumb!
