    I went to NW Arkansas on business and visited Walmart HQ... it's crazy out there... every major supplier/manufacturer has a little office around Walmart. I also checked out Sam's humble beginnings at his Nickel and Dime store (now a museum), and also checked out old Mrs. Walton's home, with its overgrown weeds and unused tennis court.

    I respect Mr. Walton for what he did, but I wonder how he would react to Walmart's continued growth and all the criticism they receive these days....

    A $15M house is not all that special when you own and drive a $15M car. 3607 ;)

    Not exactly.

    The Al Nahyan family of Abu Dhabi is worth much more than that. How do I know? They happen to be clients of mine.

    I'm sure they'd love knowing you are passing this information along on f-chat.

    I work in the wealth management biz, too. I would absolutely never share information like that to anyone, let alone an anonymous messageboard.

    Senna3xWC didn't really share any unknown information. The family and their wealth are quite well known!

    It's no different than mentioning the Waltons.

    In my line of work, you never talk about your clients and how much money they have. Even if everyone already knows. That's a quick way to not have any more clients...

    I wouldn't be so sure of that.

    There's a family which no one ever talks about in general and here on Fchat, and I believe their wealth exceeds that of the Al Nahyan family. The Rothschild family I would say is the most wealthiest.

    Wait, you're saying there is a 'family' HERE on F-chat that is worth more than $100 Billion?!? No way! I don't believe that at all. Unless the 'family' is a 10 year old who happens to belong to that particular family you're talking about. Still, I don't think anyone of significant net worth would be wasting their time on a public forum on the internet.

    Reread the post. He is saying that no one ever talks about this family. He never says they are part of FChat.

    Senna3xWC didn't mention how much money they have.

    I do know about confidentiality rules, as I am also heavily invested, but I really don't think he crossed any bounds! Again, all he said is something that is already public knowledge.

    He said they have much more than $100 billion, and then said the reason he knows is because they are clients of his.

    Look, I don't care if you agree with me or not. All I said is that I would never share that kind of information with anyone, let alone people I don't know on the internet. I think it's completely inappropriate.

    I dunno. I skimmed the list on Forbes and saw one Fchat user. Not sure if he still posts here or not, but he's definitely on there...

    There's a guy named MagWheel from the M-B forums who has a very nice collection of exotics... he's also on F-chat.

    And of course, you all know Napolis (Jim) who has a slightly modified Enzo. :D

    On second thought, I do agree with you! I don't know what I was thinking?
