[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]All of these constant threads that ask people to self-report income are boring.  Statistics exist.  [/b]

This whole thing where we elevate wealthy people in our minds is silly.

That said, I do know many multi-millionaires with broke down old Toyotas or Hondas.  It's all about priorities.

In my experience, WASPy millionaires (regardless of overall wealth) seem to be more rather than less likely to have ugly cars.

Also, they wear wool flannel shirts from thirty years ago (or longer) until their dying days.[/quote]

The most ridiculous comments in this thread are "it is more common than you think."  No, it isn't.  We know that the number of households with that level of net worth is extraordinarily small.  But the thread is correct about one thing, these people cluster together and because they know people in this world, they think it is more common than it is.  I don't know anyone that would even be close to $15M.  And it isn't hidden wealth, my ~$1M Fairfax Co neighborhood is full of government workers, worker-bee contractors, retired police, mid-level bank managers, etc.  I know zero lawyers or tech startup folks and have no idea how I would even run into them on a regular basis.[/quote]
