Once upon a time, I purchased an unbelievably nice handmade bespoke suit for $40 at a thrift store. I was shocked to see a certain man's name handwritten in the pocket label for 2 reasons:
1) I hate to divulge personal information in places like this, but this man's net worth is estimated at least $3 billion above Mr. Berlusconi.
2) I had a meeting planned with his ex-wife the next day. I wore the suit.
