I just found out one of my daughters friends parents are Billonaires |
|
This is one of her guy friends and he has been over to our house on numerous occasions with a bunch of other kids. Never knew his folks had that kind of money until she told me who his parents were. Both this guy and his parents are very unassuming people. I've sat next to his parents at high school basketball games over the last two years and never realized who they were.
They are truly self made billionaires. They started a business on a part-time basis out of their garage in the early 70s and it has grown into a multi-billion dollar company.
The next time my daughters friend comes over to our house I'll have to charge him for the popcorn and cokes.

It's nice to have friends no matter how they're handicapped.

9. No, never thought they would bite |
|
I just found it interesting that they are so unpretentious. They certainially would be in a position to flaunt their money, but, they definately don't do that.

5. Don't get your hopes up |

they'll probably disown him because he's not conservative enough or something.

6. So, do they lean right or left? |
|
Be nice to see some billionaires lean left rather than Re-thug.

8. Actually, I 'm not sure of their political leanings |
|
since the only time I've talked to his parents has been at basketball games. Then we would just talk about BB and school stuff. I agree it would be nice if they did lean left. I need to ask them at the next BB game.
