StealthAssasin Join Date: May 2012 Feedback: 0/0/0 | Who's the richest person you know irl? Are they happy? What do they do for a living? I have to say my uncle is the richest person I know. He just owns a simple painting business but he must make money out the wazoo. Great home, great cars, stress free, I don't think he does any actual work except cash checks. Came here as an immigrant and worked his butt off. I actually notice that a lot of rich people are immigrants. Their children, not so much. Maybe because they haven't experienced a hard life. |

| The richest kids I hang out with are a pair of twins... There are those *****es who are a little wealthy and act rich around everyone and where designer ****. These two kids are the humblest people I know. One drives a 2011 BMW and the other one actually got disowned... He pretty much told his dad "**** you, you never spend time with us and I don't want your money".... There's probably more to the story that I don't know about though.... Anyways, they never talk about how much money they have, if you met them at a party, by the way the dress and act you would think they are poor. But they are filthy rich... More money then you can imagine. Edit: There dad is literally a brain surgeon and runs USMD Hospital. Oh, I also forgot about this one hippy chick I know I use to hang out with a lot. Her parents are also filthy rich but she chooses not to live with them (until recently) she quiet literally looks homeless. Her grandfather was the Dean of UTA. Her parents throw her money to her debit card but she uses it to buy us all booze and drugs (Not anymore, she's out of that stage)... Never bought material things. She went to the same private school as the twins, they never believed me about her until I took them to the campus and showed them a street and buildings named after her.

Maybe because they haven't experienced a hard life. supposedly i have a distant cousin thats an exec with visa. never met or known him though. irl i'd have to say is a guy i know named chris. he inherited his fathers music business when he was like 19. he's 27 now and one of the biggest fender distributors in the north americas. http://www.leitzmusic.com/servlet/StoreFront - link to his website. |

| Hard to say without knowing specifically how much they make but I know a lot of very wealthy people. After a certain point, it doesn't really matter and just becomes about ego. __________________ |

| The founder/CEO of the company my father works for is a multimillionaire. He owns two Bentleys (as well as a handful of less expensive luxury cars) and a 55,000 sq/ft home in one of the most affluent neighborhoods in the area. He's also one of the nicest, most regular people I know. |

| i know two i guess you'd call them defense contractors. well one, and the son of another. the one is nice as ****, but has a 2009 5-series, a Hummer H1, C5 vette, early 90s 911 turbo, and his wife drives a 2007 Escalade. the other one who's son i know is spoiled. really spoiled. like to the point where he has a debit card, but doesn't know how to use or what his PIN is because he always charges **** to dad's credit card. and he's an only child, so add that on and he never got told no or had to learn how to share, so thats not fun. __________________ Dennis Woolford 9/26/08 TROLLPOCALYPSERed-Shirted Super Smashed Bros '11 |
