Eddie Money and the Truth of His Net Worth

I've read the articles. Eddie is apparently worth between $10 and $20 million dollars. I find this hard to believe based on accounts from three pretty reliable sources. The first was my father and fellow coworker. The two of them were in Los Angeles, California, setting up a new branch for their manufacturing business. As they were waiting they noticed Eddie sitting in the terminal near their gate in a blue suit. This wasn't really that surprising because he was due to perform in Portsmouth, Ohio on 8/31/2014. It was a stroke of luck to see someone famous getting on the same flight with them. What they didn't figure was his seating arrangements when boarding the flight. They both figured that they would walk past him in first class as they boarded economy class. In fact, Eddie was sitting in economy along with them.
Alright, so a celebrity flying economy isn't impossible. Lets get to source two. A friend of the two works at a Hampton Inn located right next to Port Columbus International Airport. The employee reportedly confirms that Eddie Money stays there when he is in town. They also report that Eddie Money was bumming cigarettes from one of the night employees. There was another source, a restaurant's employee that said he was a cheap bastard, only giving an 8% tip, but there were not a lot of details, so I will just put that out there as a maybe possible true story.
I'm just going to ask you, the typical reader a question. If you were worth 10 million dollars, would you fly economy? Would you bum cigarettes from a hotel employee? Would you stay at a Hampton Inn? Would you play at a local community festival on the other side of the country? He may have a big house in California, but if he is living like a regular Joe the rest of the time I would attest to the fact that he really doesn't really live the life of the rich and famous.

Just my thoughts on the matter,
Wrench

Guy Wrecks His New BMW M3 Drifting!

You have a hard time remembering the last 100 people that shook you hand, but you remember everything about that one guy that slapped you in your face.-------
It never ceases to amaze me the low levels that people will stoop to get under your skin. I'm speaking specifically of internet trolls. Since I started the YouTube channel I've dealt with it, and I have learned to ignore it.
They usually just make themselves look like scum anyway, but I want to put my apologies out there to those of you involved in my last video. You all shouldn't have had to deal with the absolute insanity that followed the posting.
I tried to get in touch with a few of the sites that reported it, without success, to give them the facts. I even called out one of them at autoevolution.com for exaggerating the story.
I guess the thing to remember next time is not to let the trolls get the best of the situation. They don't want to know the truth, and truthfully they are in the minority. Out of the 150,000 views, there was more support and comments about how he took it in stride, and actually had the cojones to take his car out on the track.
