Poor Rich

I am not writing about a comparison between rich and poor and this is definitely not summary of book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’. But here i am trying to present that how could, a really rich person be referred as a poor guy. Other day I was sitting with my friends and chay ki Chuskiya le rahe tha (having tea together). And news broke out that Michael Schumacher will not be returning back to F1 due to his neck problem and suddenly everybody started saying, what a pity and some said poor guy and in the second breathe, I kind of waved my head in the agreement that what a poor guy. But wait is he really a poor guy – Doesn’t he has enough money to feed himself or his family or he doesn’t have enough money for his sick kid. Does his wife go and clean dirty utensils in neighbors home or was he forced to steal something due to his children or in some cases parents hunger (come on that’s how bollywood films shows poor man). Answer to most of above questions is No. His kids go and take their meal in some fucking 7star hotel. But yes once he stole a woman (Heinz-Harrold Frentzen's wife) almost 10 years ago not sure if he was forced by his love or something else though

Michael Schumacher is the guy who tried to buy the naming rights of ‘Formula one’ and change it to ‘The Michael Schumacher Motorhouse Rage’ due to his enormous wealth. If this guy has so much money then how can you call him poor but in English you can say poor chap or poor guy blah blah. That is the very same reason I like my mother tongue than this stupid language.
