If you're sitting there talking to somebody, the first 5 minutes they're talking about how many boats they have, how many Lambos they have, how much money they have, and they're so rich. Most of the time that tells me from a psychology point of view that they have a fear of being viewed as not significant. So they're overreaching. They're either making it up or they're exaggerating.
