[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When our DD was at a private she became friends with parents we discovered were low key billionaires.  (They took her on vacation.).  Heirs to an extremely large fortune but lived in an attached small row home.  Really cool people who flew far under the radar of the folks in development.  Was quite amusing actually.  In a million years you would’ve never guessed.  [/quote]

I think there are quite a few people like that. I look at some of the donation lists at my kid's private and some of the parents who give the most live in the regular, average houses. [/quote]

We donate a lot both anonymously and also with our name shown and I can’t tell you how many people recently have made comments about our home and saying they are surprised. Mind you out home is worth more than 1.5 million but not 10 million like I guess they would assume. We own other properties and assets so our home is not our main asset. But yes people in DC judge you by your home. [/quote]

It’s not anonymous to the schools and organizations but I mean we choose to not attach our name. [/quote]
