John Lennon had a net worth of 40,000,000.00 when he was murdered in front of his apartment. Yet, some of his latest songs did not sound too happy. "People say I'm Lazy, Dreaming my Life Away" . In 'Scared', John Lennon wrote this,"I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared I'm scared, so scared I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared As the years roll away And the price that I paid And the straws slips away
You don't have to suffer It is what it is No bell book or candle Can get you out of this, oh no!.......
Hatred and jealousy, gonna be the death of me
I guess I knew it right from the start
Sing out about love and peace
Don't wanna see the red raw meat
The green eyed goddamn straight from your heart
I'm scarred, uh huh
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred
Every day of my life
I just manage to survive
I just want to stay alive....."
Yes, it's a chilling song and prophetic. He did an interview with Rolling Stone, a few days before the murder. He was upbeat and ready to get back to work on a new album.
Curt Cobain, before he went Bang!, said that money cannot make you happy. He explained that before he became rich, he would walk into a thrift store and find something he wanted and then save for it. When he had the money and purchased the item, it really meant something to him. After fame, he says that he could buy the whole store.

Interesting.. I wonder if he has any inkling that he was going to be murdered..

It truly is dependent on the person. If you didn't know what it took to be happy before money, it'll take more than money to teach you.
