Anyone in here on that list??
I know a dood that knows doods on there, he may be one of them, advises most have much higher net worth, these would be those who leverage others' monies. They care not what others know about them; many would rather not be on the list. One I see on there is worth 2-3 times listed amount, much of his wealth is not required to be in an US bank, not based on company ownership or shares, just monies deposited. Many who were in the game in 1980s still have monies in offshore trusts, which evade irs grabhands. |

One dood, highest one he knows on list, is very low-profile, specifically when in ports of call, he purposely underdresses, never wears jewelry, his wife does same, and tries to only frequent restaurants he has been before; most meals are on his yacht. He takes these steps, as a business partner of his was kidnapped in south america 20+ years ago. Dood was held hostage for a few months, the ransom could have been met but family feared they would kill him after receipt. So, they did not pay, they hired hostage rescue team, they got him, it cost much more than the ransom, but they knew this was the better choice. |

His is 225', he could have went much bigger, but I believe he did not purchase based on being able to host a bunch of ingrates, still requires crew of 12. I know a dood and doodette that have dined on it, said very nice, BUT they said the dood had a better scotch collection than me, which I doubt!! |

All relative to our present time. The older folks know when there
were no billionaire's Just millionaires and thats when the average yearly wage was under 10 thousand. Inflation has caused all of this extra cash. Next we will have trillionaire's . Calf has a 20 buck a hour starting wage now. Big money never impressed me to much. I can remember when homes were less than 15k in nice neighborhoods. I bought my first house for 40k, I thought I was a big shot. Built a house for 150k and it just went on the market for a million today. Inflation. |

The greatest and most cherished memories in life have ZERO to do with money, it is the times spent with those who mean the most to you--which includes your dogs!! As said, money cannot buy happiness, but it can buy the things that make you happy, so it remains on the lists, but slides down as one gets older. |

Fiscally irresponsible folks I know/have in my family, still get starry eyed over "one million dollars"! These are the scary folks as all they need is my address, and they can look up the "Zestimate" of my house which is about $700k, realize I have lived here for 28 years, assume the house has no mortgage, and conclude that I am some sort of filthy rich guy. That is not reality, but neither are their perceptions of "wealth". |
