Years ago-—I knew a guy who never showed ANY sign of being a multimillionaire-—he dressed no different—he drove a decent car-—and didn’t flash money.
HOWEVER he had a DAYTONA SPIDER ( ONE OF & a that time) in his garage-—and he sat on the board of 52 corporations-—most started by his father-—and he was very Smart. He still was heavily involved in those companies—day to day. He also could drive a race car very well.
I knew another person whose father was one of the 7 founders of 3-M. He was pretty wealthy for that time-—and he always liked to wear jeans with holes in the knees and sweatshirts.
His favorite game when he spent 3 months or so a year in So Calif —racing —was to call a bank-—a small one-—and ask them to let him in before 9 Am because he needed to open an account & he had appointments close to 9 Am elsewhere.
He would show up looking like a gardener-—fill out the paperwork & the account person would ask: How much would you like to deposit today???
He would pull out about $20,000 in cash (from multiple pockets-— & also a check from another state for about $50,000.... After that, he got “Yes sir-—What can I do for you, sir”-—every time he went to the bank.
He still came in dressed like a gardener.
Was a fun guy to be around & easy to like. Most of his racing competitors never knew how wealthy he was & would be in the future.
I knew someone like this many years ago. He had a successful company and was quite wealthy. However, he was always dressed in trainers and old work-type clothes. He usually ordered simple things and was never interested in higher-end restaurants. Man, this guy was loaded, though. He raced yachts as a hobby.
