He is in the stratosphere as far as doctors, especially academic doctors. I think I looked up the property value on Zillow and it was something like 6 or 7 million. He's not truly rich, I don't think, but he's not hurting either.
The other well-off people I know are more like in FMCoug's league. Not rich by any stretch, but do very well and have lots of toys.

As a "high paid" lawyer you meet a lot of truly rich people. One thing that frustrates many lawyers is how much more learned and refined they regard themselves than the really rich to whom they are handmaidens and who pay them hundreds or even over $1,000 an hour.
