If I became very rich I would do everything possible to make sure that as few people knew about my money as possible. It would pretty much require living modestly.
When Ted Nugent lived near me in Michigan he lived pretty modestly. Just a typical split level or ranch style house outside of town. No high wall or gate. The only indication that anyone of means live there was the nice paved driveway.

We’re evil because we have had income and have spent it to live well.
THIS HAS TO STOP!!!!
Democrats, it’s a mental disease.

By the way, Greene is also known in these parts for making contractors who work on his $36 million-, 23,000-square-foot mansion in Palm Beach wait for months to get paid! ... Greene, who gobbles up Palm Beach County land like he is Pac-Man, told Bloomberg News. We need to reinvent our whole system of life.There's a real simple way to cut your consumption way back, Jeff, and it sounds like you might deserve it. ;-)

Actually he’s correct.
America is bankrupt.
We just haven’t had to face the reality yet because the govt and Fed are somehow able to continue the charade of borrowing and bogus low interest rates.

HIS HOUSE, which costs $195 million.
His vineyard is in Napa, right?
Nope! That’s in Beverly Hills!
He has over 3 homes, btw, and a huge jet and a 150-foot yacht.

I think at least part of the answer to the mystery lies in the fact that they own the printing presses. So then, how is it that conventional economic theory says that we should be facing massive inflation with all the printing they've done, but we're not. I honestly don't believe the elites will ever allow themselves or their families to live in the Mad Max post apocalyptic world so many of us prepper types envision, which is why the economy will never actually crash to a halt. There will be ups and downs, but the doomsday predictions are more fantasy than will ever be reality.

His liberal affinity aside, I agree with his sentiment reported here: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2015-01-21/billionaire-greene-goes-long-on-u-s-while-bemoaning-jobs-crisis.html
“The 60-year-old founder of Palm Beach, Florida-based Florida Sunshine Investments said his biggest fund was up more than 20 percent last year with bets on Apple Inc. (AAPL), Google Inc. (GOOGL), bank stocks and mortgage-backed securities.
Im remarkably long for my level of pessimism, he said. Our economy is in deep trouble. We need to be honest with ourselves. Weve had a realistic level of job destruction, and those jobs arent coming back.

I’d want to stay as private as practical even though I wouldn’t likely “live modestly”
I would however NOT knock anyone that had less than me, especially those of modest means who do the right things and make the right life choices.
I might have struck it rich (wishful thinking) but I would never forget my humble roots
Greene’s a douche to the nth degree
