I have some clients who are truly rich. I bet most of lawyers around here do too. I would say that helicopter or jet ownership is a decent, if not infallible, indicator.

You sit there with your lofty billing rate, advising some guy who because he stuck to something, and find how simple his life has become but he's sitting there with a gazillion dollars. One of the very wealthy people I know, when asked about complex problems, has some practical answers but he doesn't know details. He knows rich people with access to money and that has made him rich. He might complain about a big bill as he takes a thousand times more from the transaction.

We had a physician earning that, but his wife gambled a lot and spent tons, so that amount kept him in debt. He had been earning about half a million a year for fifteen years, yet had nothing to show for it. They lived in our ward until they divorced.

How clean is clean? These are the things that cost more than they should, thanks to government.
