Rakesh “Rick” Kamal’s veneer of wealth was an astonishing ruse, orchestrated so stealthily, family members said, that its mastermind managed to conceal it from colleagues, realtors, and even his own wife and daughter.

    There’s only one thing that rich people truly fear. Becoming poor.

    Once you’ve successfully convinced yourself that you’re rich because you’re exceptional, then losing money equates to being found out a fraud.

    What’s weird is that it was his wifes family that initially loaned him almost a million dollars, so even if he had to declare bankruptcy, it’s not like they’d be on the street. This guys entire identity was wrapped up in his wealth. A symptom from the disease of artificial scarcity.
