We have a feeling that $90 million figure is B.S., but set that aside. What’s really interesting is the total absence of class envy on Twitter:

Notwithstanding the Left’s daily harangues against the Romneys (jet skis! #youpeople! dressage!), most Americans do not resent capitalism and do not consider wealth to be inherently evil — at least if they feel it was earned as a result of hard work.

We have a feeling President Barack Obama, however, isn’t too happy about Douglas’ newfound wealth. Remember?
“I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.”
Well, Twitter thinks Douglas — not Obama — built her gold medal victories:
Tim Philips: Obama to Gabby Douglas "you didn't earn that gold medal! Somebody else built the roads to the gym." #dream12 #tcot #fb

I congratulate Gabby Douglas and the US Women's Gymnastic program for their Gold medal wins! Yes They BUILT THAT and deserve all the credit!

CNN says Gabby Douglas chartered her own destiny.
She built her own destiny? You mean Obama didn't do that for her?— Ron Hue (@Tru2Hue) August 3, 2012
