Outside the NYSE, two young men were chatting.
"When I have money, I'll show you what it means to spend like water. I'll eat a hot dog and toss one away. See that Regency Hotel over there? I'll book two rooms, one for an afternoon nap and the other for sleeping at night.
Right, and I'll need two, no, four girls to take turns attending to me!"
"Wow, you'll really be rich. If I had money, I'd open an account and do nothing all day but buy stocks. Spending a hundred dollars every day, how cool would that be!"
Listening to their conversation, Harry Sinclair, who had just come out of the NYSE, had a complicated expression. With those kinds of thoughts, you want to spend money like water? The current Harry Sinclair really wanted to tell these two that real extravagance is spending a million dollars every day like him!
That's what you call spending like water!
