And a lower tax rate than 99.9% of Americans. Thank them from me for giving back.

They can afford to pay one hell of a lot more and should be forced to. We need more confiscatory tax policies for those income classes.

They weren't billionaires.

No one is calling out the “Standford” alum (12/20, 11:53)?

I met a Russian billionaire once. Was in a meeting with him. He didn’t strike me as exceptional but he was certainly very aggressive and knew an opportunity when it presented itself.

I have met two. One was a client who came from family money. Very reserved, almost awkward.

The second is an evil Republican who recently moved to DC. Arrogant.

I worked for a very large family owned company where the heir and heir apparent are billionaires. They were not quirky. Pretty much what you’d expect. Time scheduled down to 15 min intervals, large staff and security, multiple nice home, PJs. I worked down the hall from the heir apparent and we had lunch a few times. We were early 30s. I travelled a lot for fun back then, pre-kids. He said he wished he could do that. I said he could do anything, right? He said no. That was kind of illuminating, like his time was not his own - he was handled.

Zero.

A father of my friend growing up. I had been to their (beautiful) house many times but had never met her father. Her mother was one of the kindest, loveliest people I've ever met. One night I stayed for dinner and he was super rude to me (I was about 10 or 11). He was impatient and annoyed with his family. Never saw him in person again. They were big on yachting and travel--the yacht staff would take the boat to Sardinia, say, and they woukd fly there to meet it. He left his wife for a younger woman around age 50. In some ways they were very normal but the advantages they had were insane, like one of the kids opening a private school that he funded, another kid opened a super upscale store in her 20s.

0. A family member interacts with several all the time due to that kind of work.

One. Extremely normal. I was surprised to learn that he enjoyed vacations at the same place as me, literally same hotels.

2, husband's relatives. We see them once or twice a year at family reunions.

I hear that Donny in person is also very nice, charming, weirdly orange looking uncle who spmetimes loves quoting Hitler.
