Define rich please ?
If I had yours I'd throw mine away
Being in construction you can see ebbs & flows. I knew of at least 6 developers commit suicide during that thing that happened 10 years ago. Now, one or two I know are probably +$100mm. They lost $20mm on a horse deal that was mostly scam. One of the sons just got a big pro sports contract. Several 10's of millions. Ohhh, one more that sold the largest Real Estate company in town pre GR. Then invested in property during the low point. No idea how much he's got. His boys are running his RE company now. Probably a few more that are in the same range
I never had the cajones to leverage up like they did. But I'm happy for them...they still feed us a lot of work too!
