- I enjoyed the show about Mr. Perkins. Hats off to him. What he does with HIS money.... That HE worked for...that he studied for...is HIS business.. besides all that money goes back into the economy. So whats the problem with these crybabies. (maybe jealousy?? tsk tsk) Ms. Stahl questioned him like he should apologize for being rich. Wonder what she does with her $$$$. Way to go Mr. P !

- How is this journalism? The interviewer spends all her time obsessing over exactly how much he paid for his toys and her only question of any substance is simply whether he hates women. I had hoped for a serious interview with insight into the dynamics of the dysfunctional HP Board, not a fluff piece more like "The Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous".

- Tom Perkins studied hard and worked hard to get what he''s got so why can''t he spend it as he wants? Don''t you jealous misfits realize that the multi-millions he spent on that yacht went back into the economy for wages, materials, etc. to build it, plus the wages for dozens of crew required to operate it? How much did you send to Katrina. Myamar or China? So the guy is egocentric, he''s earned it.

- Are you kidding. We just saw this episode. I cannot believe that there was no more news that could have filled this slot than that of a successful misogynist.

- This always comes up "you should help the planet" Like send everybody a penny. Thats what 200 or 300 milion would get you. no more no less. And where is it written he has the duty to clean up a place like the low lands of Katrina which was a stink hole to begin with. Heck I would be happy with small row boat with an on 2HP motor and a fishing rod. Most of you dont want to save the world you want him to save you. News flash it going to happen so put you pitty putty away and play with it another day

- I''ve been watching 60 minutes since 1978 and have never felt compelled to write until now. What kind of shoddy journalism is this? I thought I was watching "Lifestyles of the rich and famous." Why should we be interested in this scumbag?

- This Tom Perkins character is nothing but "White Trash With Money" .... He gets bored with his "toys" and does nothing for people other than his "good ol boys" and destroys other people''s careers.....his association with Rupert Murdoch says much about his character.....The "Values" they talk about are for the "little people" while they are greedy ---- self serving-----and I guess as they are happy with someday being "the richest guys in the cemetery" I find people like this truly despicable.

- Couldn''t Lesley Stahl have interviewed someone more interesting than Tom Perkins and his penchant for extravagant toys? There are too many people in America who are concerned with everyday living expenses to care about how much Mr. Perkins spends and what he buys. It would have been more uplifting to have focused on someone who shared their millions on a needy group or organization who could''ve used a helping hand. Opulence is just wrong.
