I don't know what that means.

I worked for a guy who was worth well over 100 Million, he had an advisor that I knew worth well over a billion. I worked for another guy who was worth 400 Million.

The Chairman of the board of another company I worked for eventually was worth about 4 Billion but lost most of that, I exchanged words with him a few times and took a leak next to him but it was early in my career so I didn't really know him at all.

Not sure that gets them to global elite level, but those are the super wealthy people who's wealth I explicitly knew, there are many others who I can guestimate their net worth but don't know for sure..

I'm met a number of them, but the one that will set misc off is Nat Rothschild.
Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!

The only dangerous thing about an exercise is the person doing it.

They had the technology to rebuild me. They made me better, stronger, faster......

The head of our company was a billionaire. He stopped by once to introduce himself .

True story , a guy working at the Elko mines was on holidays with his kids. There was a blacked out bus on the side of the road and he assisted the driver changing a flat tire .
My close friend is a shovel operator in the same mine and the guys locker is beside his.
The story is the people in the bus were billionaires on a golf tour and they found out who the guy was that had helped the driver , and he never showed up for work again , as they had sent someone to give him a large sum of money .
You always hear these stories and know they’re fake as fk, but my buddy knew the guy and the backstory.
Back with my Fam

No idea, I've never been to any of his homes. I've met him a few times at parties and things.

He didn't strike me as particularly ostentatious, so whilst he probably has very nice homes, I doubt they are "palaces".

for some reason, 'the elite' are imagined to me as "the bad guys". the people promoting 'bad stuff', or at least that's what we're led to believe. i guess an enemy to the people. but he's probablyjusta very intelligent. highly motivated and smart man I imagine. not all of the elite want world domination etc. just highly ambitious mainly

He's a bit of a playboy (or hewasanyway) who likes models. His first wife was a model and his second was (is?) a page 3 bird.

The "elite" are a mixed bag. Some of them lied, killed and stole to achieve that level of money and power, whereas others are born in to it.

Some of the ones born in to it are absolutes pieces of chit and justify the stereotypes, but others are pretty much normal people who happen to be the kids, grandkids etc of somebody who did some cut throat chit.
