Okay, this is my favorite. One top-earning CEO is a huge pigeon fanatic. He breeds rare pigeons. Expensive pigeons. He spends weekends at pigeon shows.
Imagine negotiating a $5 billion deal. Then you go home to clean a pigeon coop. It’s the ultimate humble brag. “I’m richer than your country, but my birds eat better than you.”

And guess what? He made more money from pigeon-related investments than from his actual job. Weird, right? But absolutely true.
The “Haircut” Mystery
Another billionaire CEO has a $1,500 haircut. Every week. He flies a barber to his jet. The barber gets paid $5,000 for the trip.
His excuse? “Time is money.” Cutting his own hair would cost him millions in lost productivity. I cut my own hair with kitchen scissors. I look like a hedgehog.
The moral? If you earn like a god, you live like a god. And you pay someone to clip your split ends.
