Not local, but I have two family members that have been fairly high level executives for the better part of their careers. I never asked him the number, but I suspect the one’s severance from his last job will be close to what I’ll earn in my life...haha. I’m obviously biased, but whenever friends meet them they are always surprised at how down to earth they are. I will say there are some pretty funny things that they are out of touch about. When I bought my first SUV the one family member didn’t understand why I didn’t buy an Acura MDX as that is her favorite. I told her it was close to double my price range. She had no clue what they cost despite owning 3 or 4 of them over the years. She asked me to help buy her next car as I quite enjoy researching new cars and when she sent me the list I had to tell her I had no idea how I would help. Her top three were Tesla, Alfa Romeo and a Jaguar. Sorry, I got nothing. They are also quite cheap about some things, which always makes me laugh. Never book a hotel and are super cheap with rental cars. But in general, they are very generous with their resources and are great mentors.
