One of Canada’s secret billionaires
has been outed.
Yep, no one outside of his nearest and dearest
knew his net worth.
(They only do now
because of his nasty divorce
which warrants another post
on the importance of partners).
I figure there are plenty of secret billionaires
and why not?
Why tell folks your business
unless it benefits you?
In this case,
how does others knowing his net worth
help him?
It doesn’t.
It can only hurt him
(envy is a powerful motivator).
I have a few pen names
and because there is no real cross over
in readers,
there’s no benefit
in letting people know
that those pen names are all the same person.
I can’t see how others knowing that helps me
so I keep that information to myself.
In this age of information overload,
try to manage the information
that is available about you.
Not everyone needs to know everything.
