I worked for a venture capital firm back in the late 90s and we visited one potential investor who lived in Woodland Hills. Very nice house. Very well-dressed, polished older gentleman. When I went to use the bathroom, no toilet paper and all the soap look like they were old worn down (you know those small worn down thin pieces of soap that are normally thrown away?) stacked together. Pretty funky.
Anyway, we didn't get the deal but he did end up putting $20M in Idealab. Obviously, that was before Idealab's investors sued Bill Gross et al.
