    This is why, when you’re rich, you don’t want to look rich. In my experience, the very rich guy would look like the gentleman on the left. The guy in the suit, the guy being entrepreneurial, is the one pinching pennies

      I remember our ceo would come to do our all hands meetings and he always dressed casually but you could just tell by the fit of his clothes he probably got them from somewhere with a tailor. So while the clothes looked normal the fit just stood out to me and made him look well off

    Richie Rich debuted in 1950. $10 would be equivalent to $130 today. Those are some expensive overalls.

    Also $900 million would be like $11 billion. Pretty sure you can buy off politicians for way less.
