英语阅读资料 百万富翁没了富有的感觉A new study by Fidelity Investments finds that millionaires dont feel wealthy anymore, largely because of the global financial crisis. The study, an online poll of more than 1,000 people with investible assets of at least $1 million, excluding workplace retirement accounts and any real-estate holdings), found that 46% of millionaires didnt feel wealthy.
