The press called me a billionaire, and my wife came up and said I must be squirreling money away.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I became a millionaire overnight by signing a piece of paper. I made more money in that one second than my entire family did in their lifetime.
I never had the financial means that the media said I had. I laugh when I hear the amounts, $400 million, $800 million. Where do they get this imagination?
I've always been covered by a press that's mostly financial press.
My life has been sensationalised into a rags to riches story.
Right after my Twin Towers walk, I was approached by hundreds of people, and I said no to all the offers. I could have become a millionaire overnight, obviously, but I said no, and I continue to be uninterested.
I'm just a regular upper-middle-class guy who happens to be a billionaire.
If I get married, I think I'd pick out a newspaperman rather than a millionaire. A newspaperman is a regular fellow.
People say that I'm a millionaire, but that's not true - I only spend millions.
Suddenly, I found I was married to a millionaire.
'Billionaire' is basically about, you know, like 'Brewster's Millions.' It's me talking about what would happen if I would somehow manage to become a billionaire. What would I do with the money? Don't get it wrong, I'm far from a billionaire. I think I just made it out the 'thousandaire' category.
