I have a really close relationship with Mike Bloomberg.

I don't know any real billionaires.

I spent most of my career operating businesses and fixing businesses, not staring at a Bloomberg screen.

If I was a billionaire, I'd be smart with my money.

I never wanted to be on any billionaires list. I never define myself by net worth. I always try to define myself by my values.

If you can count your money, you don't have a billion dollars.

I'm just a regular upper-middle-class guy who happens to be a billionaire.

I think that people like Bloomberg, they're complete thugs. No question about it. But on the other hand, it must be said that they are politically savvy. They don't get into those positions of power - in the case of Bloomberg, both economic and political power - by being anybody's fool.

I don't think I'm a millionaire, but I'm comfortable.

I know it's bad to generalize, but when you think about billionaires, you just think this guy is going to walk into a room and just demand things to be a certain way.
