CEO worth $840 million lives in a Las Vegas trailer park


Strange but true abi,the Zappos CEO has a reported net worth of $840 million.But Hsieh chooses to live in a Las Vegas trailer park he owns, according to a recent profile in The New York Times.

Hsieh lives in a trailer in the community he calls "Llamapolis" with his pet alpaca.
The trailer park is part of Hsieh's $350 million investment into making Las Vegas a metropolitan city with thriving business and entertainment scenes.

In the past, Hsieh has been named one of the most frugal millionaires.

"Money is just a way for Tony to get to his endgame," Erik Moore, an early Zappos investor, told Business Insider.
"Money just doesn't matter to him. If he only had a million dollars left, he'd spend $999,999 to make Vegas work. He would be just as happy with a dollar in the bank and being around people he cares about and care about him."
