My personal motto is “If you have it, hide it.” Old money keeps themselves wealthy that way.
A lot of wealthy people in Hollywood smartly own only one paid off home, a couple of beat up cars, and keep MTV away from them. They have their hobbies and extravgences, but nothing like a fleet of Bentleys and Hummers.
It seemed like Brad Pitt used to be that way and now he’s flying all over the place and buying one home afer another. Really disappointing.
Yes! Or as I tell my daughters, "Loot attracts looters."
