Jeff Bezos was worth $9-10B when a journalist caught him driving around Seattle in a beat-up 1997 Honda Accord. Asked why he didn't upgrade, Bezos literally said "this is a perfectly good car."
Even crazier? Dude kept driving that same Accord into 2013. His desk was literally a door because he believed in "spending money on things that matter to customers, not on things that don't."
Turns out this wasn't just humble-flex—experts say it's actually smart. Accords need minimal maintenance, great gas mileage, reliable AF. Positioning yourself as down-to-earth also hits different compared to billionaires catching heat for flexing private jets.
The lesson? Real wealth mindset ain't about the Lamborghini in your driveway. It's about knowing what actually adds value to your life.
