He had all of his money invested through a brokerage firm because he realized it wasn't his own efforts that gained him his wealth, and he wasn't going to let his own efforts lose it. I believe he said he makes $18,000.00 per day in interest. Smart, smart, smart. Apparently you have a little bit of that wisdom going on yourself!
Congrats!
LOL, I saw the show about this guy. He was the good ole boy from Kentucky who actually lived in West Palm Beach (other side or Florida from Aehass.) It showed him roaming around his multi-million dollar house and bragging about all the $75,000 china, $20,00 statues and other useless crap he has. He even had a private Lear jet.
Turned out he was a total dumbass since he got evicted from his house because he defaulted on something like 5 grand of property tax and is broke. Like they say, "easy come easy go."
Our own Mr. Aehass is one in a million, how many owners' of such fine automobiles do you know of that do thier own oil changes and analysis samples?
The second (oil) link isn't working. I am also wondering if 5W-20 isn't way too thin an oil for you car. Just wondering, why didn't you use Mobile 1 0-40?I get excellent analysis results from this oil.
They may have changed the web site above. It should now work.
I am currently using 0W-20 Renewable Lubricants Inc. oil in the Maybach and Murcielago.

Is there any particular reason why you work on the Maybach yourself, even though it has a warranty that covers everything except the tires for the first four years?

We also do all our own maintenance. We are the plumber, pool and yard workers, the electrician. We are decorators and painters. I have a fairly complete metal and woodworking shop. We do all our own automotive servicing and other work.
In these ways you save money to put into other things. We are also not wasteful of things as many others.

I actually have worked with one of the top MB mechanics in the country here in Sarasota for many years. The dealership is about 3 miles down the road. I have gone there at times and borrowed special tools or the mechanic came to my house to help me do something. I have even gone there and was told to park in bay 18 and use a mechanics tools to do my own work once on a transmission. I basically have free range. They all know me over there.
