thats the most shocking list ive seen

machan most of these people who have started very small and have come up. these are guys who have not forgotten their past.

take harry for example in SL. His daily driver is a Montero. Rarely he uses the Red 7 bmw.

:D

being rich and being down to earth is a gods gift. and those people last longer..

Exactly machan, I 100% agree with you, and also machan these people worked very hard to come up and they know the value of every penny. Also they will be concentrating and working hard for the future as well so they won't have time to do show off things.

Warren Buffet uses a Lincoln Town Car? :alc: I've seen some cab companies here using them as their flagship taxis... Thrifty? Tempted to almost say Stingy :D

"It seems that for the super-rich, a vehicle is seen not as a status symbol, but as a means to an end in which to get from point A to point B. Status is something that these billionaires need not prove to others. In many cases, the people on our list prefer to live inconspicuously, avoiding the limelight at all costs. This might explain why many of their vehicles cost less than your own daily driver."

That's a really nice statement though

fuzzo , i have a shot gun ready tonight, will meet you at pila.

by the way, a common thing i have seen is that Fathers who have built up companies and have handed over to their sons, and the sons bust them on everything within few years. ( mostly women and cars )

most down to earth richies are Richard Branson of Virgin Group. I am not sure of Sri Lanka, but if you take India, owner of Adithya Birla group is another personality who is so down to earth. ( ABG is really really big )

But then if you take Vijay mallaya of United Breweries - http://www.janataparty.com/leaders/vjm/vijaymallya.htm

he is a big spender and his gold chains may be worth couple of million dollars. but he is also a very nice personality who knows his down to earth roots. i think he has his own lear jet. and not to mention some more trophies including some exclusive car brands.

being flamboyant is nice as long as you know where your limits are.

I'm guessing most of the older guys on the list are the chauffer driven types, and thats why they don't have expensive cars. And they probably travel alot so it don't make sence to have an expensive car. Looks like Bill keeps his for driving pleasure, as does Paul Allen. Anyway, I guess these guys have their personal jets and helicopters to go from place to place :action-smiley-060:
