What was your most blatant "I've got money" comment...

I was buying new shoes, and I couldn't decide , so, I bought the white and the black Chuck Taylors.
Now, if THAT'S not BALLIN', I don't know what is.

 

Lessee the chassis number of the building, build sheets....Someone with a replica building will ***** about it not being real either, and Arlie will pile on??
No, that's just in Vintage, I guess

 

Im still asking my parents to borrow $20 whenever i go home...so no blatant money comments from me for quite a few more years

 

How about we all guess how much money you make?

I kid, I kid.

Another thing I think is interesting about these types of discussions is that many people who claim they don't like to talk numbers seem to have a knack for "inadvertently" dropping them from time to time.

 

Not me, but my friend said, "Yo guess who moved in next door yesterday."
me "I dunno"
him "Terell Owens"

Anybody who lives in Philly will understand this.

 

You mean me or 26 million dollar building man?

 

do you really though? good if you have somewhere you have to go but cramped as hell inside

The free gifts were cool though - lots of Tiffany stuff... I even have Concorde binoculars

 

At a restaurant about a month ago I bought dinner for myself and a group of friends and our dates. We had wine, steaks, Cuban cigars, the whole 9 yards.

Check comes and I whip out the Black Card and hand it over.

10 minuets go by and the manager comes over and tells me my card has been refused. (!?!) He actually said it loud enough that the whole table heard him and conversation just stopped.

Not to miss a beat I simply said loudly and rolling my eyes, "Damn, guess I shouldn't have put the Island on the card."



(BTW: for all the Black Card holders reading this in disbelief, the place actually did not take Amex, had never seen a black one, and thought it was a pissing visa and tried to run it as such.)

 

Black card = 'nuff said.

This is sort of the OPPOSITE of the whole thread, but still funny in a "i'm NOT wealthy" sort of way...

...um... if that can ever be funny.


During Kenny Herman's "Enzo Who" run, back in April, one of the stops somewhere in upstate NY was a VERY nice restaurant where we were to have lunch... Everyone was in the parking as all sorts of exotics continued to pull in; i, however, needed to make use of the facilities... So, upstairs i went and took care of business... Coming out of the bathroom, i saw a crowd of wait staff by the window, looking down into the parking, admiring all of the beautiful, exotic cars...

So i talk to them; i love talking to people who are just as excited about cars as i am... So, after a few minutes, one young lady asks which car is mine...

"See that beautiful red Ferrari down there...? Well, mine is the Chrysler Sebring next to it..."

They all laughed. Hey, i'm good at being humble, what can i say...

So a few more minutes go by as we continue talking about cars and the same young lady turns to me again and says, "So, seriously... which one is yours...?"

 

I remember it like it was yesterday! LOL!

 

Classic

Reminds me of two things pertaining to this thread. Many years back, my dad did a closing on Randall Cunningham's house. I was little, so the details aren't there, but basically, it was around the time of one of the big Tyson fights. My dad was talking to him about the fight; he thought one guy would win, Randall thought the other guy would win. Cunningham then asked my dad if he wanted to bet $10,000 on it.

My dad declined.

 

Somewhat like NNO's post, I was in Florida with a few friends back in the mid 80's and we were talking to some women when one of my friends mentioned that I had a Ferrari. At the time I had a 250GTE. The one girl asked what it looked like. I asked her if she was familiar with Magnum PI's car. When she said yes I said it looks nothing like it at all.

 

You guys ain't seen nothing. Things start to get nutty when you've hit 10 figures. And I know dozens who have... Most are incredibly down to earth. Sometimes it's the kids who flaunt it.
I've seen it all:
Women laughing about how their dog ate a new Judith Leiber purse the moment they got back from the store. In elementary school, the whole grade taking a field trip to someone's house. A high school friend (KennyH - you know who I'm talking about) taking friends on vacation to his house in Aspen... on his 727. That same friend having the hockey team practice at his house... on his ice hockey rink. That same friend taking Paris Hilton to prom. Kids outbidding each other at the senior auction paying over $1000 for things like a tin of cookies baked by a teacher. A high school friend taking a girl on a first date by flying down from MA, then flying her to and from Le Cirque in New York on his helicopter. A high school friend telling about how she learned to drive stick on a 300SL roadster and laughing about how she was constantly grinding the gears. A friend going to a certain Ivy League school where the library bares his father's name. A crown prince admitting that he faxed assignments to advisors at one of the palaces for them to write the papers. I could go on for pages. I've been racing in golf carts around factories, been in countless owners' boxes, private islands, and motorcades.

Flaunting it? In high school, for intramural soccer, every player had a customized jersey. You would come up with some funny name and chose a number. One friend, whose father is worth over $10 billion (that should narrow it down for you), had his jersey read "BILLION DOLLAR MAN" with the number as a $ sign.

 

Not me, but on this Ferrari site i'm a member of, someone started a thread just like this and one guy posted in there how he knows all of these kids of billionaires and how they fly their dates to expensive NY restaurants and go on field trips to each other's houses and about libraries named after some kid's father and what not... It was pretty blatant...

 

incoming pm

 

i feel guilty when i say "super size it"

 

in accordance with Zachs post about learning to drive stick on a 300sl. Well my friend who i think goes to the same school informed me a while ago that he learned to drive stick on his friends Maranello, not his cause he has one, his friends. I wanted to kill him.

 

I dont, but I only say that when buying condoms for my "Super Sized" member!!!

 

i hope this doesn't turn into a show us your member thread

 

Metaphorically speaking that's how it STARTED!

 

I was at a bar with a fellow trading buddy when this incident occured. My friend had been standing at the bar for 15 minutes waiting to place a small order with the bartender.
The bartender sees him, but for some reason decides to serve everyone else around him. So the bartender finally walks over and asks my friend what he wants.

Already irate, my friend orders two shots of Patron. In response to the order the bartender sarcastically says, "Ohhh, Patrooooonnn...So you think you are some kind of bigshot eh?"

This sends my friend over the edge. He looks at the bartender right in the eye and says, "Listen *******, I place the orders and you make the drinks. Thats why it takes you 2 weeks to make what I make in 5-minutes, so f*ck off!"

Amazingly my friend left the bartender a hefty tip on the 2 shots of Patron. I am not sure if he left the large tip because he was drunk or because he wanted to show the bartender that the money didn't matter to him.
