I think I know how this guy feels. If you learn to live on whatever money is coming in, you're satisfied. But people with lots of money are rarely satisfied with the amount they have.

On the block, or already sold, is his luxury villa with lake in the Alps, his 42-acre estate in France, his six gliders, and the interior furnishings and accessories business that got him rich in the first place.
