Never heard of him. Why is he relevant?  Just so you can open a thread?

He advocates a plant based diet but I'll bet he eats meat.

Well yeah, a plant based diet for you and me.  He’s having the 10oz porterhouse.  He also probably wants you to buy a Nissan leaf while he owns a bunch of exotic sports cars and private jets, to save the environment of course.

One of the top real estate investors.  Also purchased the Chicago Tribune and LA Times and owned the Cubs.  Very entertaining and not politically correct.

I sometimes see old men (70 or 80 year old) rolling by in an Aston Martin or a Ferrari. I would not trade places with them. I have been around many of them in business settings and they are done; both physically and mentally.
