| And did you inherit your fortune, marry money, or make it yourself? |

I was born with a silver spoon, became a fashion model then a media mogul and soon married an oil tycoon .... then I woke up from my dream.
OP, how many billionaires you reckon wandering on a forum for DC moms and dads? |
Yeah, if I were a billionaire, I'd be on my yacht right now having a party with fancy people while several nannies cater to my kids.
|
| So I got curious and apparently there are 756 billionaires in the entire United States. |
|
I’m close, but not there yet.
Have a few hundred mil….. Started a company after years of experience in a field. Went public and made money from that and stocks. My salary is good, but money comes from equity in the company. |

A billion is soooooo much money
You'd have to spend $100,000 every day for 25 years to spend a billion. |
| I am, in Monopoly money. |
That could make for a nice new thread; what would you spend 100,000 on each day ? LOL. |
| I have a friend who is a billionaire. She’s pretty normal. You’d never know it if you met her. |
| Yes |
You wouldn’t know at all? This is fascinating. Does she have an air of relief about her? Calm? Something else? If I knew I could spend $100,000 every day, everyone would be able to feel the sense of relief coming off of me. |
lol +100 |
| I personally know 2, but they aren’t American and don’t live in America. |
| I am one in my country but not in $. We use different units |
|
No, but I’ve met one of the Rales brothers, who founded the Danaher company and are billionaires.
His daughter went to Holton-Arms and was friends with my sister. He was fairly reserved the couple of times that I met him. Comically and stupidly, I somehow thought that billionaires would all have flamboyant personalities. |
