Yah, Rockefeller had approx 320 billion as his net worth in today's dollars; quite the fortune.

I wonder how much the Pope has? If he suddenly decided to liquidize all the Catholic Church's assets (gold reserves, paintings, wall murals, etc.) and, if he could, liquidize every single Catholic venture in the world, I'm sure his fortunes would fly to the trillions easily.

As for the OP, I intend to be a biochem/pre-med major and then attend med-school for general surgery. Then I'd like to travel a bit, using my newfound med skills along the way (through doctors w/out borders or somesuch). Then I'll find a nice rural place in the countryside, live there for a while, and retire. When I retire, I'll probably go back to scool and travel alot more.
