Rich does not mean to have a 'flashy' lifestyle. Despite living in the wealth of property, the proof of the billionaires of this world still shows simplicity. Habit does not waste money is indeed exemplary. Therefore, excessive lifestyle will actually make a person tend to be wasteful. World Chess Expert Charles A Jaffe says the level of a person's wealth is not seen from the amount of salary or income but depends on the expenditure spent. Maybe the expression from Jaffe is true. The reason, some world conglomerates do not mind a mediocre life despite having abundant wealth. Precisely these habits indicate the billionaires are not reflected from the amount of wealth in enjoying life. The happiness of life they get from something that can not be bought with money. Reported by Time, billionaire Mark Zuckerberg the owner of Facebook. Having abundant wealth does not make him tempted by luxury cars. Zuckerberg is proudly driving a Volkswagon GTI with a manual transmission. The car turned out he bought only for 30 thousand US dollars. Zuckerberg's simple lifestyle was also seen when he married his beloved Priscilla Chan. Both married couples occupy only the back garden of their residence. Even when spending honeymoon time in Italy both caught on camera was enjoying McDonald's, not in expensive restaurants. Zuckerberg and family are also reluctant to move from their home in Palo Alto, United States (US) purchased for 7 million US dollars six years ago. One of the richest men on this planet who can not be ruled out, Warren Buffett the owner of Berkshire Hathaway. Warren with his family is still living at home for $ 31,500 which he bought since 1958. The five-bedroom house is even an attractive investment. Right beside Warren's house is a building that has a room like hers. Believe it or not, the house is already selling at a price of 2.5 million US dollars. Bill Gates technology ruler was happy to wear a watch for 10 US dollars hers. The owner of Microsoft is always always wash the dirty tableware every night at home. Another thing with the Dish Networl Corporation Chairman, Charlie Ergen. In addition to staying in the old house for 20 years, Ergen also always bring lunch from his beloved wife's lunch when he went to work.

This is a really interesting perspective and insight into these huge players...

I've always thought there is something to the idea that the more money someone has, the more money they need, as though life expenses inflate with expectation....
