Author Topic: I know a Multi Millionaire (Read 3141 times)

I know a multi millionaire, he drives a 1995 Ford Explorer. He got in a wreck, and drove it wrecked for a week until insurance sent him his check to fix it. This person deposits his small checks faster and with more excitement than I deposit big checks. He inherited his money (didn't earn 90% of it), but he still works hard everyday, and is thrifty like this.

His girlfriend spends money like crazy, he does wear nice clothing, and his vehicle is in decent shape for being a 95.

What's the deal? I know people that make there own money, and live the way they always did, but isn't this rare with people that have inherited everything?

Cool, and I agree.

I guess I just kind of wonder how this would have been ingrained in him when it was all given to him. Seems like he would be more apt to do like lotto winners and piss it all away, or at least drive a car that wasn't 15 years old and wrecked? Or, at the very least have his vehicle fixed before receiving his insurance check.

He was most probably raised by his parents to work for what he has. He did chores and he wasn't just given whatever he asked for.

I admire him tremendously. Hope I can raise kids that way.

A good deal of wealthy people are very low profile.
Then there are the fools that need to shove it up everybody's ass that they are "rich".

What's the point of being millionaire or make money if you cannot enjoy them to the fullest extent. WTF?

Shit,I`d make some investments and then travel and buy whatever I wanted within reason.

You can`t take it with you,that`s one thing for sure and this guy could kick off at anytime.

You never know.

Smart guy not to just totally piss it away though.

what is the point of this story? sounds like you just finished listening to Suzie Orman or just finished reading "rich day / poor dad"

so some guy that inherited his wealth lives a simple lifestyle...great, good for him. But the part about his girlfriend spending his money wildly totally discredits any positive message here.

I would be more impressed if you said that he only pays for hookers

It's probably his "job" to act that way for his parents. Rich parents love that.

I know two brothers, both are multi multi millionaires....

One is very practical wears a 50 dollar watch, still works everyday, dresses normal

The other wears a 50,000 dollar watch, always dresses nice, expensive suits, velvet shoes, and retired young just to enjoy life

I have to point out the practical one with the 50 dollar watch also owns a yacht the size of a football field (I've stayed on it) lol
