I think he made his fortune by never buying a second necktie or belt. Red tartan tie and some multicolor indian pattern on his belt. ALWAYS.

In addition to being a disgusting POS based on his ideology, I think he is just plain weird.

Why won’t the leftie media demonstrate the minimum amount of intellectual curiosity and ask him a probing question about something?

Man. You think that one of the first things you would do if your were a billionaire would be to go top shelf in the wife department.

Steyer’s wife sits on the board of LaRaza.

You have to be at least part Mexican to do that.

She isn't. She doesn't.

Why do you think they call it LaRaza?

And why do you think they still call it LaRaza?

It’s a non-profit. The board isn’t the same as as the supposed beneficiaries or target audience.

La Raza, now called UnidosUS, is a non-profit and Steyer’s wife was on a lot of boards, but she’s not on the board of UnidosUS now. Everybody on it has a Spanish last name (except one guy who looks Mexican), so I doubt she was ever on it. Maybe some group that she’s affiliated with works with them.

Pretty easy, actually. A person’s net worth isn’t just cash sitting in the bank or under the mattress, net worth includes all the stuff you own. Your house, car, valuables, stocks, securities, shares, minus your liabilities: mortgage, auto loan, student loan, etc. Net worth includes your business’s assets as well. Physical property, vehicles, inventory, as well as non-tangible assets: cash-flow, logistics networks, brand value, etc.

And as your business grows, it either grows the main line, or you diversify into other business ventures. And all that growth is pushing the owner’s net worth higher and higher.

Much of that net worth is gonna be non-liquid assets. Sure, you can give away stuff and chunks of the business, but that’s not a good way to keep the business afloat. I’m sure these owners do have lots of $$, but being a billionaire is definitely not the same as having a billion dollars (or even tens of millions) sitting around doing nothing.
