If you don't count his $70 million custom built private jet, his multi-million dollar fleet of personal cars, the hundreds of millions of dollars of mansions he owns, or the various corporate headquarters where he ostensibly spends most of his time, then he's technically homeless!

Also, "staying at a friend's house" for rich people is very much not the same as couch surfing. Idk why, but "staying with a friend" is actually like a huge part of "rich people culture". It gives people a chance to show off, it helps build clout and reinforce relationships, and it's often more comfortable than staying in a hotel since you're typically staying in the guest wing of an expensive mansion.

Which, by the way, is another example of how it's perversely cheaper to be rich. Two week vacation to the Cape? hardly costs a thing when you stay in a friend's summer home. not that that stops you from spending more on wine while you're there than a 2 week hotel stay would have cost, of course.

yeah. actual conversation I was a part of with two people last year (I'm none of the people in the conversation though--I was just listening): "oh. he's staying with you?" "yeah, for a couple weeks." "is he in the Red room? I think that's where I was last time." "no, you're thinking of the Green room. we're redoing the Red room." "oh, so he's there?" "no, no, he's in the Blue room. But you stayed in the Green room, which is across from the Red room."

And this is one of the 4 houses these people own. They have their DC house, for when they are doing government stuff, their island house, their golf course house, and then their regular home mansion, which is the one with the color rooms.
