Regarding the private jet comment, uhm, I do not get what the point is there. Yes, sometimes management when flying in a group with myself will take a private jet, since its easier and more convinient and time saving..

I own a 1964 Aston M artin DB5 that I only drive to car shows and I also own a Lexus GS.
Does it make me a millionaire or a big shot?
Non it makes me someone that paid off his mortgage 20 years ago and knows how to spend less than I earn. Trust me that it takes more than an expensive car to make somone a big shot or even rich. Because of several decades of experience in this industry I know a lot of people and some are really big big shots but I am myself not a big shot.
In short one of the first signs that someone is on weak ground is when they need expensive toys to prove to others their importance.
One of the most silently powerful men in Montréal drives a late 1990s Oldsmobile and shops at Value Village. Anyone that has insulted him is most likely at the bottom of the fleuve Saint-Laurent or is a montréal mayor forced to take retirement.
Bref, the Bently does not impress me.
