Default Silican Valley billionaire owns an A4..(more)

If you are watching tonight's CNN/Perspective program, you will remember there's a Satroin A4 2.8 Quattro with sports package wheels parked outside that Net House that all 6 people live inside there are billionaire. That's the car one of their billionaire owns: Audi A4 2.8!
When the guy who invented internet banking picked up his McLaren F1 super car, there was an Aluminum Silver A4 2.8 (looks like the 12V version).
Really interesting!

Default Huh?

Tom, you musta been tired when you posted that post. :-)

First off, there is no one person that developed internet banking. Second, it is
SilicOn Valley. Third, where is this place that has 6 billionaires living at it? I
have never heard of it (maybe it was my house?)

banking at the bank I work at. :-)

Default Did you watch CNN last night?

Hi Steve:
I am really sure they are living in Silicon Valley. Secondly, that house is called Net House where all those billionaire "greeks" live together. Thirdly, that guy who says he invented internet banking took delivery of his McLaren F1.
I thought you know that, too!

Default Other billionaire owns a Honda Accord!

Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com was interviewed on one of those primetime magazine shows (Dateline or 20/20, etc.). He was driving a Honda Accord (not a new one, the last generation) and he had a dumpy little house outside of Seattle!

The interviewer asked him straight out, "What are you doing driving a Honda? You're worth billions." He answered essentially, "This is a good car. It runs just fine and gets me where I need to go."

A tight *** cheap Net billionaire. Gotta love it.

It's in Palo Alto somewhere, and I don't think *everyone* living there is a _b_illionaire.
