I've made money in real estate, hotel, and restaurant investments.

My biggest extravagances are also investments. I have several houses in California, a house in Nashville, an office complex, and I bought the old home place in Tennessee. They are different places for me to write, but I can turn right around and sell them.

I made a tremendous amount of money on real estate. I'll take real estate rather than go to Wall Street and get 2.8 percent. Forget about it.

Well, real estate is always good, as far as I'm concerned.

I do real estate.

I always made a decent living.

Even in a bad market, location, location, location is a way to still buy and sell property.

I've become very successful over the years. I think I own among the greatest properties in the world.

I view real estate as the most intriguing opportunity that I've seen in my business lifetime.

Whenever I made money I invested in myself... I bought whatever I needed to make my career better. I never really spent money on other stuff, like buying expensive cars.
