The Biggest Swinging Dicks

Bit of a lull at work lately, so I been looking at luxury real estate and luxury cars and other shit I cant afford again, and I always wonder.. who the fuck is buying this stuff? Who's paying $25k/mo in mortgage for a 2nd vacation home? Who's dropping $350k on a vintage car that'll kill you in a fender bender?


Answer: the proverbial big swinging dicks.

So... Who are the biggest swinging dicks on WSO? Who are the most senior people? What's the most senior rank held? Who has the most wealth?


Alternatively, who are the biggest swinging dicks [etc] in your personal network?


AND: How did they get there? Don't give me boring answers like "they worked their way up the ladder in high finance for 25 years and invested prudently in an appropriately risk-adjusted diversified portfolio". I want the Hollywood-finance wolf of wall street type stories.
