Robert Frank, then with The Wall Street Journal, sat for a Q&A Cafe interview in February '08 to talk about the ""new rich" -- before they became as crazy rich as they are now. We taped the interview at Nathans. Though he covered Europe and other beats for the Journal, his title at this time was "wealth reporter." That got my attention, in addition to his good book, Richistan, and he graciously accepted my invitation for an interview. After 18 years with the newspaper of Wall Street, he moved to CNBC, the cable channel of Wall Street, where he continues to report on the rich, now called the super rich and the billionaire class. He is host of "Secret Lives of the Super Rich." These segments may not be in order, but its all there. Enjoy this moment in time, when the rich were merely wealthy.
