Someone must have told him gold makes you look rich.

The rich people I admire the most are the ones that still drive regular cars, live in nice but not mansion homes, they still shop for groceries and eat at cafes. Dress in normal clothing. Treat their employees fairly and give to charities.

I saw a picture once of Chancellor Merkel at a open market in Germany buying produce and she brings her own bags.
