I used to ‘hang’ with a billionaire friend of the family and, maybe that might be dutch, he was incredibly frugal (drove a crappy old but not classic car, lived in a rather small house etc) and yea was obsessed with making more. He would ask me out for a coffee and ask to split the bill (or just pay his part and walk wait for me to pay my part) even though I usually just paid as I don’t like going dutch. He spent almost no money during his life. Guess that is all good for making fortunes.

Warren Buffett reputedly lives frugally and clips coupons.

  That is what his PR team wants you to believe. He recently sold a 7.5 million dollar Malibu second home (though he got a good deal on it in 1971 when he bought it)... https://www.latimes.com/business/realestate/hot-property/la-fi-hotprop-warren-buffett-laguna-beach-home-sold-7-5-million-20181012-story.html https://www.latimes.com/business/realestate/hot-property/la-...

  He also darns his own socks and eats from glued together porcelain. Your money is safe with him!
