I wouldn't say I "know" him, but I played a season of beer league hockey with Nick Hon and had no clue who he was, until one game I arrived at the same time, and he was driving a super expensive SUV. I had to ask my buddy who ran the team, who he was.
Nice enough guy, and clearly pretty humble about his wealth, at least on the ice and in the locker room.
Outside of that, growing up, my best friend's dad was good friends with the owner of Beattie Homes. I spent many summers ripping out to Inveremere in the newest BMWs with him, although that's not even close to the level of wealth that we're really talking about in this thread, I think.
