"My first big purchase was a watch from Tiffany's. I
was doing a project a few blocks [from] the flagship Tiffany's

"A few weeks before the company's launch, I bought a
bottle of French champagne. It still rests unopened in my fridge. I

The (After) Thought.' "

"[Although the combined value of my companies is close to
$500 million], I still live in the same apartment and spend cash on
the same stuff as before. The only thing I really splurged on was
putting my money into starting another company."
