Richest person you ever knew

Richest person I ever knew was a lesbian heiress.

I'm "dating" a multi millionaire. He's one of the most emotionally immature people I've ever met, and he works too much to sustain a meaningful relationship with anyone (hence, the quotes). Can't keep it up, but he's in his late 50s so I suppose that's par for the course. Maybe he was better at fucking when he was younger, but I doubt it.

Wilbur Ross. Henry Kravis. On a work basis. Nasty men obsessed with money. Incapable of emotional attachment. Don’t envy them their money - thoroughly unhappy men based on my definition. But money is the most important thing to them - so maybe they are happy in their own minds.

A lot of those successful 20th century millionaires were borderline psychopaths and/or aspies. Like most of the tech douchebros of today. So... there’s a lot of social retardation and relationship problems. See Trump and his penchant for idiot bimbos.

If he can't fuck, why are you with him? All the money in the world can't make up for bad sex. Is he going to buy you a sexy gigalo???

The wife of a Koch brother.

I was with a man for a few years who was ridiculously wealthy. Black diamond money from Africa (serious). We're still friends. He has private jets, homes all over the world, has to be worth 20 mi? Or something equally ridiculous.

I really liked him. But he was too eccentric and out there. He calls about once every six months from some exotic locale. He's in his late 50s now (we met when he was 39 and I was 23) and I know he's lonely. I worry about him.

I just know old money people and we never talk about our finanical situations. People who talk about money (how much they have or not have) are rather unintersting.

Know someone who won over $300m in MegaMillions. Took the cash prize and had over $100m. Took appropriate steps before he claimed. Changed name, moved, hired money consulting team, etc. Still people found him, knocked on his door asking for money, etc. He didn't spend anything for his first year but went crazy the second and bought everything. Year three he was already tired of it all and bought a very unassuming house and lives a quite upper middle class life, which he loves. He has the freedom to do whatever he wants because of the money but he said the best thing about having this much money is knowing his entire family will be taken care of if they get sick. An aunt had dementia and he was able to provide the absolute best care for her until her death. Wise words from him: Money doesn't change anything because your problems stay the same, only the names change.

No. People who are constantly worried about money are terrible in bed.

I worked in a managerial capacity for the company of a couple who were extremely wealthy. His and hers Jaguars, a house manager, nanny for children, house staff, gardening and of course cleaning help. When they went to their homes in Colorado, Florida and Hawaii they took staff along. She wore a different fur and exquisite jewelry each day of the week. They would fly to New York to see a couple of plays or to Vegas for high end gambling. I moved across the country and lost track of them. Through an Chicago attorney I was dealing with I learned that the entire firm was revealed to be a sham and fraud and they both were prosecuted. It was front page news and TV coverage. They moved to Texas and started a new life.

I dated a guy who had a rich family, so although he wasn't personally super rich he would have inherited a few million eventually. To be honest his family sounded exhausting so I consider it a lucky escape.

My great-uncle. He was not always wealthy—he made his money when I was a kid by going in on a business venture with his nephew, and then selling the company for $100+ million some years later. He's invested his money well and still runs his own small business at 80 years old, and employs his sister-in-law (my other great-aunt). I am not sure exactly how much money he has, but my dad estimates it has to be a $100 million or more, including his assets. He paid for his mansion in SoCal with a check, and at one time owned a '66 Cobra. The thing is, grand house aside, you'd never really know he was that wealthy. He's a very humble and generous person despite his wild success.

R8 Hush. We're clearly interesting enough for you to respond. Anyone who really thinks that is saying 99% of the world is boring. Just, no. You're saying a very necessary component of life is uninteresting? Might as well find every one who breathes oxygen uninteresting.
