If you need any more proof that the rich are different, look no further than Michael Lewis' latest, The New New Thing. This time around, the Liar's Poker author trains his eye on Jim Clark, the frenetic founder of Netscape and Silicon Graphics. Lewis devotes the bulk of the book to Clark's obsession with his beyond-luxurious yacht, equipped with a $30 million art collection. And with more than 250,000 copies in print after a single pressrun, readers seem to be enjoying their vicarious glimpse into the good life.
