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.

I am one in my country but not in $. We use different units

I personally know 2, but they aren’t American and don’t live in America.

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

Yes

I have a friend who is a billionaire. She’s pretty normal. You’d never know it if you met her.

You'd have to spend $100,000 every day for 25 years to spend a billion.

That could make for a nice new thread;
what would you spend 100,000 on each day ?
LOL.

I am, in Monopoly money.

A billion is soooooo much money

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.

So I got curious and apparently there are 756 billionaires in the entire United States.

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.

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