It's not just that one designer watch or car that was popular in 2017 when you were writing the book, it's the whole brand.<br /><br />Of course, I do wonder how relatable these types of stores are for true billionaires/trillionaires. I think it may be easier to pass of the illusion to those without wealth who are only guessing at how the ultra wealthy live than it might be to pass it off on someone who is truly wealthy and knows it. (But, then again, how many people know or actually believe, they are truly wealthy? Hmm… Food for thought.)<br /><br /><a href="https://aandj8804.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">With Love</a>,<br />MandyMandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415510811585368037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015025502147924207.post-800696673689010982019-06-25T09:40:03.730-07:002019-06-25T09:40:03.730-07:00Thank you for this introduction.
