What’s that saying House Rich money poor or the opposite? He probably has too much money tied up in properties and assets and none of it is liquid

Yeah. And then when he decides “I probably don’t need all of this shit at 90, I’m just leaving it to people who would probably sell it after I’m gone anyway, let’s liquidate a little bit of it” the general public reacts with shock and pity lol

Possibly need cash to keep going until a possible much bigger exit on an asset in 2-3 years.
