Plus Sam Walton lived in Bentonville Arkansas population 19,000. You think he needed to impress anyone in that small of a town with everyone already knowing he was a multi-billionaire and owned fuckin Wal-Mart.

Nothing at all is wrong with that. I had always heard the story of how he drove an old pickup truck, and I found this picture and figured I would post it. Warren Buffett (Number 2 on the Forbes Richest People List) drives an old VW from the 60s, and still lives in the same house hes lived in for over 30 years, and it's worth around $300,000. My aunt and uncle who live in Bellevue, close to where Gates lives, used to see him at Godfather's Pizza, which is about as upscale as Pizza Hut, until he started getting death threats. I just find that type of thing really interesting.
