“If your name is on the building, you’re rich”

American comedian Rich Hall said on the television show Late Night with Conan O’Brien on July 17, 1995:
 
“When you go to work in the morning, if your name is on the building—you’re rich, if your name is on your desk—you’re middle class, and if you’re name is on your shirt—you’re poor.”
 
Hall’s quotation has been frequently cited.

(Rich—ed.) Hall, a former Perrier-winner with a knack for improvising country and western serenades to audience members, is as whisky-dry as always. He has come up with a fantastic definition of how to evaluate modern-day success: “If your name is on the outside of the building, you’re rich. If your name is on the desk, you’re doing OK. If it’s on your shirt, you’re poor.”
