So I Met a Billionaire

*I have always heard of them, read of them, saw them on TV but never met one in person. All that changed yesterday when I was on the 35th floor of a highrise in Dallas, TX. Just to give you guys a brief background, this guy is about to spend in excess of 1 billion dollars on ten new projects in the USA. This first project that we are working on will decide who gets the other nine. I am part of a team in my company trying to sell our big idea to him.

So, he walks in wearing a long brown overcoat, a checkered scarf and I believe it was YSL black suit. He never took the seat. Asked us three questions and left. He reminded me of that guy Gecko played by michael Douglas in the 1987 movie “The Wallstreet”.

This morning I was copied on an email from his main man announcing that we got the other nine projects. Yipppeeeeeee!*

Re: So I Met a Billionaire

Did that billionaire have a tail or not?

Re: So I Met a Billionaire

Re: So I Met a Billionaire


so that is the secret behind every billionaire wearing an over coat?

Re: So I Met a Billionaire

I am sorry to say I can not disclose anything about the projects, his questions and our answers or the content of the emails. I however would be more than pleased to field questions regarding his personality, get-up, style, cars, size of his house and his favorite restaurants.

I always keep my eyes open for opportunities. I am able to connect people with jobs that way. I have been able to place people in UN, Sears Holdings, Accenture and Mcdonalds corp etc this way. Sadly i was not doing it as a headhunter or I could have made a pretty penny :)
