  • Years ago I worked for some quite wealthy people managing their affairs.

    Their bank balance in ONE bank account was in the $5-10m range day to day.

    They were cheap as hell. Suuuuper stingy with pay and spending on anyone else, but extravagant in their own lives.

    One of them threw away the “ugly” custom built hurricane shutters on their waterfront mansion despite it canceling their insurance because they’d rather lose the house than have the (quite subtle) shutters on the windows.

    Contractor didn’t care. As they put it “I already got paid”. Literally landfill for custom fitted rolling shutters.

    Rich people are weird.
