AS's money is inherited. I have no idea how much of it there is. He has bragged about attending the same prep school in new england as the sons of the guy who ran Penthouse mag.

BTW, I consider 'real money' as assets well over $500,000,000 or so....

That's an awful lot of $. People are people. I presume very wealthy people are just ordinary people with a lot of money. Course I wouldn't know about really rich folks.

The wealthiest people I've met are people who've risen up the corp ladder to earn a small fortune in salary and stock options. Prob the wealthiest one I knew personally by name was a corp VP (Fortune 500 company) - per the web his holdings were in the tens of millions. A very nice person, very intelligent and well spoken - course good social skills were part of how he was able to rise up the corp ladder - but you got the impression he was a good decent person to begin with.
