How many ties do you own?

How many ties do you guys own? Would be interested to hear how you collected them over the years (were they gifted, or purchased in bulk?) and how long they last you for. Also curious as to how much you spend on ties; I occasionally see posts on this forum that suggest spending money on a good tie, and besides from paying for a brand name, I kind of don’t get it. I shop at TK Maxx (UK TJ Maxx) and have never paid more than £13 (c.$16) for a ‘good tie’ (Saville Row brands etc.) that has been reduced from at least £40 (c.$50) - in some cases they have been reduced from £95.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
