my grandfather is a multimillionaire. he's in the oil business and has made many ridiculously wise investments (developed large lot of santa fe before its boom in the 80's). he's sort of an "old money" type (he's not ostentatious at all) and a reverse snob; he's very frugal, does NOT talk about money (and is very prudent about talking about anything he's associated with that would indicated wealth or snobbery, ie, he's acquainted with high-profile businessmen and politicians but avoids the subject), and generally everything that someone who's nouveau riche is not. This is why I don't know how much his estate is worth because he lives way below his means. his kids (and this grandchildren) don't even know how mcuh he makes (i think its because he doesnt want feel like they dont need to work).
how do i figure out how much hes worth (hes not rich enough to be in forbes). somewhere between 1 million and 50 million (a stretch, but he IS in oil). also-he's 82 and still works (for fun).
