Millionaire Punks
Being an all-around weirdo and a rebel I've always been interested in counter culture movements, music and styles like Metal, Punk, Skinhead, Grunge and even Hip Hop.
But I love Money too.
I know for sure that there is a lot of multimillionaire metalheads (Metallica, Guns N'Roses...) and a couple of almost Billionaire rappers (P.Diddy, Jay-Z, Dr. Dree, Baby Bird...).
BUT...
Punk millionaires? Do they exist?
The answer is YES!
When you think about a punk the first thing that come to mind is a filthy homeless crust punk with a spiked mohawk and a studded leather jacket panhandling for a living.
And when you think about the punk culture in general you think about anarchy, anti-capitalist, DIY (Do-It-Yourself), pro-cheap beer, anti-everything, etc.
But in reality, punk artists, underground and mainstream, rarely have the classic street punk look of liberty spikes, safety pins and kutte (jacket full of patches and studds). Most of them have short hair and look quite normal. Dead Kennedys for example.
Forget about the anti-capitalist part. It's quite easy to lambast the evil of Money when you are penniless. But it's another thing to not enjoy it when you are making it.
The below punk rocker artists sell-out for the benefit of their bank accounts. For the punk purists out there, do not hate them because they are successful. Life is always more enjoyable living in a mansion than squatting abandoned buildings with smelly people.
Here is the list of the richest punk rock artists of all time. Sorry, I reluctantly included some cheesy, yet very lucrative, pop punk acts like Avril Lavigne to this list. A couple of them have the hardcore heavily-tattooed street punk look.
The Top 30 Richest Punk Rock Artists.

I somewhat agree with this. Doing what everybody do (working jobs that they hate just to live above their means) is plain stupid!

Bernie Madoff was found of cocaine and hookers
Wall Street, cocaine and hookers are three things that goes hand in hand just like sex, drugs & rock n' roll.
Convicted and jailed fraudster Bernie Madoff used to send a messenger to buy drugs 'for himself and the company' - and would also throw 'wild office parties sans spouses' with 'topless entertainers wearing only G-string underwear serving as waitresses.' Madoff also maintained a list of his favorite attractive female masseuses in his personal telephone book. A court document from 2009 reads, "Madoff's affinity for escorts, masseuses and attractive female employees was well known in the office culture, and certain feeders were allowed to participate in the conduct." Madoff would even send two of his employees up to Harlem to buy cocaine for the sex parties, where, the 2009 documents allege that "employees had late night affairs in exciting places - such as their boss' sofa 'with whomever they could find.'"
Oh hell yeah! I would never doubt that good ol' Bernie was such a party animal! I've always thought that "The Wolf of Wall Street" Jordan Belfort was the worse. But it seem that the cocaine and hookers culture will forever lives on Wall Street. Anyway with Money you can do whatever the f*** you want and party like a rockstar if you want too. However I'm not so sure that cocaine abuse is good for business in long haul.

Rock n' Roll Bernie in the 80s and 90s.
At the height of his Charlie Sheen-esque
blow (coke) and blow (prostitutes) party era.
