I gave a few Mannix family members a tour of our facility a few years ago and had a 13 year old ask me what my company valuation was. Exact words.

The vetting new people is a truly wealthy person move, and can be for good reason, but I understand how it would seem weird. I disagree about not having a concept of money, but I think that's just a matter of perspective... At a certain point, some expenses become so immaterial that they're completely irrelevant.
In my experience, your encounter seems strange, but I suppose anything could happen. There is definitely a difference in how wealthy people approach and understand everything about money, especially at that level and with such a strong familial inclination to preserve generational wealth.
