Hello FoxLee,
The illustration I used - and that's what it is, as opposed to a definition - merely points out that someone who has purportedly earned (well been paid anyway) over a million pounds, or four million, or what ever, would need to earn an average of that amount over that time-scale, and I simply point out that it is highly unlikely that Jade Goody has been paid anything like that amount for what she does to earn money - be 'famous'.
Of course people who win millions are millionaires - that bears no resemblence to my point at all.
If Jade Goody looks as her bank account and it shows a balance of three or four million pounds then she is a millionaire - absolutely true. But who'se word do we have for that? The tabloids and magazines for who she is a saleable commodity, and whom it suits to enhance her 'fame' with tales of mega-money. I repeat, I don't think Jade Goody is a milllionaire, or even close to it. I have nothing to back up my statement that she isn't - but neither do you to prove that she is!
As to whether I like it or not, Ms. Goody's finnancial affairs are of less than no interest to me - except as an indication of the trend of creating 'celebrities' from nothing very much at all. As far as I am concerned, the loud ignorant bullying whey-faced pultroon can have the income of a small South American country in her bank account, it matters to me not at all.
