I have a client who just took delivery of his own brand new Cessna Citation bizz-jet from Wichita a month ago, and he also owns 4 other jets as well as a new F430 spider...etc...etc....been buying cars like this from me for over a decade now.

It's not as unusual as you think to tell you the truth. Was in the hangar a couple of months ago with him walking around with a couple of my other customers and the head of the aviation company was also saying who owned each bizz-jet as we were walking past a row of 6 of them......I knew every name.......and had met over half of them.......call it "quiet" money.

 

Ah yes, MLC? Burlington? It makes sense. One word. Hedge fund. Just my guess.

Not 'hedge'......'mutual'.

(For those who may not know, there's a huge difference)

Neil, that would obviously be me

 

whats the big deal about saying the guys name?

 

Michael Lee Chin.

Don't know what these guys are scared of, he's not going to sue you for mentioning that he owns a Ferrari!

In case you want to know more about him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Lee-Chin

 

Frankzz23,
Its not a matter of being scared, its a matter of respecting someones privacy.

Since you dont mind saying his name, why dont you fill out your entire profile with your full first and last name with location?

 

does any body know were he lives because i live in toronto and thats a 40km drive that im willing to take

 

Your going to go to his house? Thats just not acceptable, please no one post ANY information regarding his location. How would you feel if a stranger showed up at your door asking to see your car?

 

Agreed. that's quite extreme, not to mention just plain weird/absurd.

EDIT: I know this is a complete tangent, but, is MLC the man who donated approx. $10.mil to the University of Toronto? If he is, I'm pretty sure he's a pretty cool guy based on the article the UfT paper had on him last year. But ofcourse, what else would an instiution write about one of their more "generous" patrons

 

We have our reasons.

 

Good god Nappy - what are you going to do? Climb trees? Sit outside his house and wait for the Enzo to show up or the chopper to land? You planning on sifting through the garbage?

 

Nice! my Dad gave me an article on him awhile back and I must have read it 4 or 5 times... Amazing story!

 

Are you allergic to lead?....... do loud bangs frighten you?

 

I'm sure he has 8 shiny metal friends who can all run faster than you

 

i just want to drive by his house and hopefully see the cars

im not going to go to the door and ask that would be plain stupid

 

Even so, the chance of the cars being OUTDOORS is very, very, very low.

 

One of our marketing reps in our office went to high school with his wife and he runs into her in town often....They are just a normal billionaire family who likes their privacy for obvious reasons...

i dont think its a good idea just hanging about their property - they may think your scoping out the house out or something....

Yup, just found out he is the guy that was featured in our calendar a while back. http://www.giving.utoronto.ca/thecampaign/leechin.html

 

I think he's also the fellow who gave a truckload of cash to the ROM for their new addition.

 

Yep, that's right. The monstrocity hanging off the side of the old ROM. Have you seen it while in town? *sigh*

I haven't seen it in all its splendour but chances are I will if I'm in Toronto this weekend. Monstrocity is the right word...
