    My wife has an uncanny ability to aquire some rediculously wealthy friends. Long story short, tonight I sat at a table with about 10 other people for a birthday party who’s combined net worth was probably over $500million. Among our group was the founder of Mcqueary Bros Pharmaceuticals as well as David O’Reilly, president and chairman of O’Reilly Automotive (who set next to me). I spent a solid 2 hours sipping Johnny Walker and shooting the bull with Mr. O’Reilly who is a very down-to-earth guy. I have the utmost respect for people who have a substantial amount of wealth yet who seems like they’re just an ordinary person. They were all very nice people and very down to earth. I thought it was pretty crazy the amount of money seated at our table.

    Did you ask them for a big loan or a small loan?

    William Burroughs wrote that the easiest way to lose wealthy friends is to ask them for a small loan.

    Most really rich people are down to earth. It's the one's that are only worth a few mill that think they are better than everyone else. Extreme wealth can be isolating whereas the people worth a few mill still live near the middle class.

    I was in a similar situation at a family wedding. The groom owns an investment consulting firm. The rehearsal dinner was held at a HUGE table (it was one solid two inch thick by six ft wide by 20 ft long plank of wood). They had half the C suite from two of the top five banks in the US as well as several major hedge fund and PE managers there.

    I didn't know who it was at the time, but I saw one of the most powerful women in banking twerk her husband on the dance floor.

    Easiest way to reduce the loneliness and isolation of the wealthy is to ask them to give you their money. Think of it as an act of charity.

    One of my favorite past times is to ask my rich friends for large business loans. I deposit the check into my shell LLC, declare a massive dividend and immediately BK that *****.

    Did I ever tell you about the time Bill Brasky forced me to wear a woman's bikini? Well anyway, Brasky tears off my clothes and forces me to wear this skimpy bikini. For the next three months I had to conduct my business wearing only a woman's bathing suit. I would cry from shame and question my manhood daily, but Ill be damned if at the end of the quarter I had passed the CPA exam.

    This post is only slightly less obnoxious than the last time CPA33 decided to start a thread after drinking too much Johnny Walker…

    From the video below, you can come to the conclusion that once the alfa male reaches a certain wealth, hotness in no longer relevant for women.
