There is one thing I think is evident. You can't judge how "rich" a person is based on the appearances alone. I'll add the flip side of the coin.
My old manager bought his CV home about 8 years ago for a few hundred thousand and now the house is worth over a million. I wouldn't consider him rich since he makes about $80k a year and his wife stays at home.
The fact that your old manager can live in CV on an $80k single person family salary to my mind means that obviously he's must be doing something right 🙂
