here's the kind of guts, bragadocio and lying to self
that you have to have in order to become a world-
beating businessman.
One Saul P Steinberg ,whose wealth exceeded
$600 million, used to tell the world:
' "You watch: Like the Rockefellers, I'll own
the world," he said in a late 1960s interview
with the financial writer Dan Dorfman,
according to a 2001 Vanity Fair story.'
---
It's interesting that he had so much self-
belief, to the point that he "ignored" the
fact that the Rockefellers were shot down
by Teddy Roosevelt because they were
stitching up the whole economy of the
US for rent-seeking, pre-1900.
I also wonder what makes a millionaire
get up in the morning and say "a million
is just not enough." Are they driven or
just money crazy?
