What I Learned From My Conversations With the Superrich
What is it like to buy a private jet and then lose so much money that you have to sell it? Or take a $1 million European vacation to celebrate a deal closing? I asked the people who have lived it.
I crisscrossed the country to sit down with millionaires and billionaires for
The WSJ Money Interview, hearing about how the ultrasuccessful make, spend and grow their money. Through eight flights, 14 days on the road and countless hours in interviews and in the editing room, I got a peek at the moments—both stomach-churning and euphoric—that shaped them.
I witnessed off-camera interactions with assistants, friends and family. We also had some fun. I quizzed them on whether their fortunes, which ranged from tens of millions of dollars to billions, were driven by luck or skill.
