I guess this is proof that the economy is affecting the rich too, just not in the obvious way that it is affecting millions of average Americans. Haha interesting article.

The mistress questions were added to the end of a much larger survey on wealth and wealth management polling a control group of 518 people. Of the 518 people surveyed as part of the broader study, 191 opted to answer the mistress question. The 518 respondents were all private jet owners — since this was done in conjunction with a private-jet-related business — and all the respondents were paid for their time.</blockquote> So out of the 518 people (only a subset of which are married, I assume), at least 191 are both married and cheating? That's sad. While trying to figure out how this story is relevant at all, I thought the update at the end of the article was interesting:
