Their money allows them that luxury of starting over, etc. Like hiring private jets to fly the family out of the path of a killer hurricane, etc. All they have to do is get what they can get and leave. And when they return they just build again and have it even nicer than before. So, I have to agree, I feel more for those who have one home, possibly no insurance and lose everything they own, than I do for those who have horses and hundred thousand dollar cars and multi-million dollar houses with staff and security personell, etc. <BR/><BR/>And you bet your butt that the insurance companies will weasel their way out of as many claims as they can, but again, the people who will feel that hurt will be the little guy, not the mansion owner or the celebrity wannabe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
