[QUOTE="Donk93953, post: 562472, member: 4571"] Met two incredibly wealthy men on separate occasions. Both Forbes Magazine rich.They both had reputations as being so taken with themselves they had one subject,“ME”. I was fortunate to be on the board of an organization they wanted to join. So it was a sit down and cocktails. I tried my best to keep an open mind , but within 5 minutes, heck, 3 minutes, there was no way I’d last over one drink with either of these guys. Looking around the table, I could see most of the board members were already voting “No” in their heads. In both cases, these two men were trying to impress us with their wealth and business savy and how the club would be more famous by having them as members. As we broke for cocktails about 4 left the building. Those that remained were more courteous and stayed for handshake and a “Nice to meet you.” I followed suit. But as I walked down the stairs to the foyer, one of the other board members muttered, “No f..king way. I have to go wash my hands.” Interesting how this played out. One of these chaps was turned down by so many clubs that he bought and started his own. The other basically pledged so much $ to a rival club, he rebuilt it and covers the majority of the operating expenses. As an aside, I ran into one of the these fellows at another event. He was eyeing me and asked “We’ve met before, right?” First I was surprised he recognized me, he had appeared so self absorbed. My response was,”Perhaps…” and smiled. [/QUOTE]
