Wealth is a relative thing. We can all agree that Bill Gates has it and that the typical bus driver does not. But in between, much depends on individual circumstances. It's no stretch to interpret $100,000 as a lot of money for a childless couple in Louisville, Ky., where life is good and the cost of living is low.

Jackson, a convicted felon who is now a truck driver and born-again Christian, says he and Autumn's mother, Shawn Upshaw, had a relationship while she was a prostitute.

The driver is polite and well-groomed, and as we glide over the Queensboro Bridge, I look south. The city is blanketed by a dirty, muggy haze. From this vantage point, I can scarcely see anything...
...Cuba with his longtime companion Antonio D'Amico, he obliged his sister with a stop at the Hotel Fontainebleau, where she was vacationing with her husband Paul Beck, a former Versace model, and the couple's two children, Allegra and Daniel. The designer hired a driver to show him around the area, and he wound up in the then not yet trendy section of South Beach. "I sat in a bar and started to look around at the people," he later told TIME. "I said to my friend, 'Why do we have to go to Cuba? It's fun here...
