      I think this report is a bit shallow. They didn't share how much the dad has in his bank. Maybe is enough for the 2 kids to live comfortably for their whole life. Their mthly 2.5k is just only for the petrol lah. This is not something new. I saw ppl driving flashy cars in poly, uni and workplace too. There are a few in my current office too. Young, fresh grads drive BMW. Sometimes i ask myself why i was not born in rich family.

      Agreed. I don't really trust that Adam Khoo......

        what is the writer trying to say in the article ? if that is really written by him, then there is lots of half truths in it and it betrays his lack of knowledge, being shallow.


        1. the rich man could have salted millions$$ away in trust funds already, what is tens of thousand$$ in expenditure ? petty cash to him

        2. car installments ?? :rotflmao: :rotflmao: , c'mon, he paid cash.

        3. $1200 psf is expensive ? Dr Susan Lim just sold her Sentosa house for S$39mliion !! the $14m this rich man paid for the house could have reaped him another millions$$ of capital gain....shrewd investment .....wish I got in there when first launched at $700psf ...... years ago..

        4. usually people in that kind of income bracket spend only \"spare cash\" in their daily \"necessities\" like Lambo and yatch ......

          Rich ppl not only kiasu but also more kiasi too. They will make sure they are well protected, well invested and have have steady flow of income to sustain their lifestyle before they start to splurge.

            IMHO, kids born into rich families are lucky if they have parents who are wise and prudent enough to teach them the values of thrift, hard work and a charitable heart.


            I know of people who are from well-to-do families but they are thrifty and humble. So it really depends on the upbringing.

              :hi5: Agree totally. Rich or poor, the upbringing is what makes everything sustainable otherwise everything becomes temporal and short-term.

                      agree with you guys… why jump to so many conclusions and make speculations with only a superficial knowledge of the family?


                      if a father is successful in life, and is able to pass the right qualities and personal experience to his kids, who is to say his kids won’t be as least as successful as he is?

                      anyway i don’t think it’s very nice of the writer… to be invited to his client’s house and have dinner with them and then after that wrote in his public blog that he thinks the client’s children are ‘damn sway’… is that good social etiquette??
                      end up making himself sound rather sourgrapes only…
