Eccentricities

What's the difference between weird and eccentric?

My theory: It's all about the money.

If you make over half-a-million dollars a year and you do something quirky, you're considered eccentric.

If you make under half-a-million dollars a year and you do something quirky, you're considered weird.

Perfect example:

Bill Gates has over 500 different sweaters in his closet. Boy is that guy eccentric!
Jeff has over 500 different sweaters in his closet. Boy, is that dude weird!

Side note: I only have 3 sweaters in my closet.

Oh, and one random thought (like the above wasn't random):

Question: What's the opposite of disillusioned? Illusioned? Is that any better?
