Every time I got paid, I would give my parents money. I would save some money, and I would have a little money to spend.

My parents grew up working class, but in that way that working class families do, they spent a fortune on education to better me.

It's not about being rich, but everyone back home has a pool. And I was a total water baby. My mom couldn't get me out - she'd put my dinner plate at the end of the pool, and I'd eat my meals in the water.

My parents taught me the value of money and working hard. And I kind of got that in me intuitively.

I used to work, part time, in a deli, in those days when your parents made you work just so you should know what work was like. And you'd make 4, 5, 6, ten dollars.

As a young kid, I really wanted to be rich.

I always was a rich person because money's not related to happiness.

I'd made enough money by the time I was 12 to never have to work again.

When kids tried to pick on me, I always had one line to shoot them down with: 'I make more money in a week than you'll make in your entire life.' Which probably wasn't true, but they thought it was.

I didn't come from a wealthy family. My dad told us if we wanted spending money, we had to earn it. So I developed an early work ethic.
