But you also have a Vette Sam Walton drove a beat up Ford pickup truck to the airport to get in his Learjet. It all about how you spend it and how you show it. ---

> [@misteroman$$$](#): > > BTW how is the ‘V’ doing? V is doing well in storage. It was a Cali car so I decided it wasn’t right for it to see the snow. This weekend it should have some new rubber and a Corsa exhaust. Plus some other small goodies. Probably back on the road Easter weekend (2 weeks from now). I just find it funny when people say look at what these Billionaires drive. Maybe its a reminder of where they came from, but then I see them get into their jets and fly to one of their multiple 8 figure houses. ---

in the Forbes 400 that was published late last year, it showed what Gate’s worth would be pre-philanthropy, it was $100+ billion, they also provided the figure for Buffet, but it definitely wasn’t 12-digits, just a FYI ---

I think if I had that money I would be as giving as well.Not so much in large sums to groups but to individual people.Man rescues stranger from burning building and loses his arm,here’s 5 million so you don’t have to work again.That kind of thing.
