He had a vacation home that he bought in 1971 for $150k, but sold it a few years ago. So far haven't seen anything that would suggest he's not as frugal as advertised.

He wouldn't own anything to his name. He would put his assets in an offshore trust.

Yeah, but if I had the kind of money he had, I would build a money bin on a hill and put 3 cubic acres of cash in it. Offshore accounts are just boring in comparison.

That's definitely fun. But not fiscally sound. And you don't become a billionaire by having fun, unfortunately.

I'd much rather to see someone putting crazy ideas into action having money...

Nah, you get to be a billionaire by being smarter than the smarties, tougher than the toughies, and making it on Square.
