I have been Alice Walton (worth $38 billion die to WalMart) a couple of times events in Fort Worth. I always try to sneak a selfie in but she's pretty keen on that so I can't.

This is just really special. This just warms my heart.
I'm going to stop typing now so I can use both hands to clap.
My sister in law dated a guy, who was an ex pro football player and ex secret CIA agent. When she dropped him after a month he begged to take him back and told everybody in the family she will regret that, because he has 300 millions in a bank.
He was one of these modest millionaires. Once I saw him he flow in by an economy class, took a bus from the airport and his suitcase was held together by duck tape. If you pass him on the street, you would have absolutely no idea. Looked like a completely normal guy.
Duck tape?
Autocorrect.
But according to wiki "Duct tape, also called duck tape, is cloth- or scrim-backed pressure-sensitive tape... ." So... .

Correct. The tape was initially developed by the military. They called it "duck tape" because it could get wet without failing. HVAC people later adopted the stuff and started calling it "duct tape."
So both names are correct, and anyone who criticizes the use of "duck tape" is a clueless moron who should be beaten. Or at least they are incorrect.
I know a guy who drives a BMW. He must be pretty rich. Or at least middle class.

Hahahahahahana. Good one.
I've met some NFL players.
I met one of the top 10 richest families in the world. I had dinner with them more than once. They were very nice. They offered me an executive position in one of their companies. I declined because I was a brash (and very stupid) young man then and thought I would be in their league on my own in the near future. It didn't work out that way and right now I'm suffering! But I am going to try for a comeback!
I did some stock trading for a super wealthy finance type back in the ‘80s. But then the douche bag bought the airline my father worked for with the plan of liquidating the company and raiding the penchant fund. I managed to stop him from going through with it, but the whole thing really derailed my life and career.
Rich absolutely bores me....let talk about the thing we all want to:
who is the poorest person you know?
I was going to pick this gurl up in college, we'd been dating for like 3 weeks and she wanted me to pick her up at her parents place in the burbs after Thanksgiving break and drive back to campus together. I said no way until she promised she would wait at the curb and I wouldn't have to meet the parents.
I pull up, and there's her dad....in the yard....pushing a frickn' lawn mower.
He waves.......I wave, and then I just kept on rolling right by.
Left her at the curb.
No thanks.
Never spoke to her again. Tried to get her expelled, in fact.
Are you a tranny or just dressed up as Alice for Halloween. You said you ‘have been her.’
Do you really no her?
How much did your remedial English teacher get paid? He is probably poor now
I can tell you the poorest person I ever met. Someone who was more in debt that any other this planet.
My uncle sold his house on Kauai to Will Smith. I never met him, but he also lived across the street from the guy who invented internet radio and was Mark Cuban’s business partner. I did meet that dude.
Steve Jobs. Dated a woman whose son was friendly with his daughter in HS. Met very briefly at a HS function.
He was about forty at the time, longish hair jet black, picture of health. Hard to believe he had so few years ahead.
Health is the real wealth.

Why'd she dump him?
Well the best I can say is that I was in the room with the worlds richest man (at the time), Bill Gates. It was at a tech conference and he gave key note. Steve Ballmer as well.
But to actually speak directly to, no one specific comes to mind.
