I used to work with a friend of mine doing automotive restoration. One of the collections we maintained is owned by a man named Howard. Howard likes professional cars and very original low milage cars. He owns among other things a '68 Caddilac Fleetwood limo with less than 30k original on the clock. This is not a stretch job, but a real factory limo with square rear doors not doors that curve over the wheel well. We used that sinister black car for my wedding as it has AC and the '53 Packard limo does not. He also has a '62 Rambler with just over 100 miles, a '50 Studebaker V8 and a '37 Cadillac coupe. He and his departed brother Earl both belonged to the Yacht club. One of Howard's current drivers is a Caddilac CTS-V 6 speed. If that's not enough Howard recently bought a used Marathon coach. This is the kind of coach sported by corporations, successful touring bands and other obscenely well to do folks. I had no idea how truely, stinking rich Howard is until I found out about the Marathon. This 500hp Detroit Diesel motivated ultra luxury highway ship cost a cool $800k. Used. Howard is the richest person I know.

Richest person I actually know?

Ian Cummings.

kenneth chang

2nd generation born in the US taiwanese kid

went to college and now law school all on his parents bank account. in all my time knowing him they've paid for everything... clothes, cellie, cars, you name it.

smart kid, not too spoiled (his attitude is pretty good), but rich as fuck.

Dave Chapelle. Most know I'm from D.C. like Dave. My cousin and him went to high school together at Duke Ellington in Georgetown thenthey moved to New York together, which is what Half-Baked is about. They do have Weed delivery services(plural-meaning more than one.). My cousin introduced me and I've hung out with him a few times, but not as much as Brian does...I probably would get to chill with him more but Brian rarely calls me when Dave is in town.

I also know Sidney Blumenthal-Clinton Senior Advisor or something. I had no clue who he was until recently when the Valerie Plame thing was in the news and I was like "I've had dinner with her." I guess he's still involved in polotics but I don't really know. I know his dog better stop jumping on me when I pet him.

no one i know is that well off.

Bill Gates

My boss is the richest person I actually know. He 'owns':
a C6 (pre-ordered before they were availible)
Hummer H3
Audi A4
BMW 330i
3 Harleys
a "custom" chopper
a large house with garage to accomodate vehicles
a multi-million dollar roofing company, complete with equipment, trucks, cranes, etc.


Too bad he is also the biggest asshole I actually know, too.

A couple of my EXs fathers had sold there companies for 40+ million and I know a few people who did really well with investment during the late 90s and got out before it went to down hill. I'd imagine sometimes the richest people you ever know are the ones you can never tell.

my aunt. shes a surgeon and became a nun.

all her money goes to her church

Richest man I persoanlly know owns a Gulfstream. He is the COO of a fortune 500 St.Louis based company.

Second Richest is probably my friends mom. Her husband was worth 23 million accordind to the paper a few years ago. She her self has the maidename Busch, so we know she was doing alright before then.

Bill GatesI was in a meeting with Bill yesterday afternoon. Your name didn't come up. :)

Some of the people I know make Tom Cruise look poor.

Billy Blanks (the tae-bo guy)... I knew a guy named Rocky Lemon who was extremely rich, but got busted... http://www.oag.state.tx.us/newspubs/newsarchive/2001/20011031lemon.htm

He couldn't afford to pay his staff, but I remember parties at his $4M house, his Porsches, Mercedes, and when he lent me his Landcruiser... Then, he went on a date with my cousin, stripped off his clothes and told her that the price for dinner was sex... She laughed at him, left, and I beat his fucking ass the next time I saw him.

Then, come to find out he got arrested etc, a year or so later. :D
