Yaris in a fatal accident - Toyota Yaris Forums

^^^^^I know a guy who is primarily a real estate investor, but also owned some retail businesses housed in some of the commercial property he owns. He drives a (not restored!) 1972 Buick Skylark. HE THINKS this is a competitive advantage. He thinks it puts in the mind of property owners that all of his money is on the table in order to buy the property....that he can't pay more. He wears old clothes most of the time as well

. His wife (one of the sweetest, most down to earth people you can imagine) isn't bothered by this (he does buy her a new Mercedes every year and he doesn't ask any questions re what she spends on clothes though

...just pays the bill). He's a Stanford grad, and his net worth is well over 50 million USD.

The founder of Zappos.com bought an acre in Las Vegas and put a bunch of Airsteam trailers (albeit very nice trailers) on the lot and he lives in one of them. He's worth 800 million plus.

Facebook's Mark Zuckerburg drives a VW GTI.

Can't always tell someone's net worth by their car or where they reside.
