[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brother: regional plumbing business.  Has about 50 employees.  Just turned 45 and started in the business at 18.  Three other 
 sibs are white collar professionals who get by.  [b]Rumored to be worth 35 million[/b].[/quote]

The guesstimate of a $35mm net worth is doubtful. However the plumber is no doubt doing better than his white collar sibs. [/quote]

Stealing $$ does not count…does it?  Ripping people off obviously highly profitable [/quote]

I'm an accountant dealing with small and medium sized businesses.  I have many trade business clients (primarily electricians and plumbers).  Sorry naysayers, but a few of the primary owners are at that level of net worth.  They do very big projects, and as far as I could tell, are very legitimate, ethical people.

Overall, what they say is right:  you'd be surprised who has money.[/quote]

I’m not being a “naysayer” when I question an owner having a $30mm net worth and only 50 employees. Do the math. It doesn’t work. [/quote]
