This is why, when you're rich, you don't want to look rich. In my experience, the very rich guy would look like the gentleman on the left. The guy in the suit, the guy being entrepreneurial, is the one pinching pennies

I remember our ceo would come to do our all hands meetings and he always dressed casually but you could just tell by the fit of his clothes he probably got them from somewhere with a tailor. So while the clothes looked normal the fit just stood out to me and made him look well off

Unrelated to anything else, but as someone that likes to thrift clothing, I highly encourage you to find a good local tailor. It's surprisingly cheap and, as you've apparently noticed, it makes a subtle but impressive difference in the clothes you wear.

Don't forget to also multiply by the number of people that have but shouldn't have $900m

I’m trying to get in front of the people who like to try to say “it wouldn’t even do much so we might as well do nothing” and so that doesn’t really help the sarcasm but absolutely I agree.

Oh, my bad, I interpreted your stance backward. Carry on!
