nope, not at all -- thought maybe someone at The Onion came up with something funny...
it didn't show his name and source - I included the pic because I really like Dan's response and blessing to him..

and, it's still almost impossible to imagine a multi-billionnaire
flying commercial and babbling about his awesome yellow bag tags and how he's on a Miles & More ticket
and how they are so hard to change... ....
Imagining a CEO of a huge firm logging into FT to research his suitcases, and then the CEO makes his ticket with Award Miles for this meeting!??!? Quote:
i obviously got these tickets many months ago - i prefer to fly using miles when i can
to save company money. as you know, award ticket inventory is limited
and last minute changes are nearly impossible... and this is where it gets cute:
  etc...

from a $19B CEO !?!? wow! in awe
A true mentsch

It takes time to get used to insane riches.

Frugality is an ingrained trait.
If you were born into millions you're going to act a lot differently then if you earned them yourself the hard way.

Seemed like he was making money before he sold it to Facebook. Not billions, but was making money.
