I know one of the most successful people in this industry still drives the beater he drove over 15 years ago. He started at the bottom. Now, he makes more in 60 seconds than most people here make in a year; in all likelihood the first billionaire of online adult, but he is so low key and humble about it that I have literally seen people talk at him like he is a one sale a week CCbill not even covering beer money webmaster posting about whether stats are up or down for everyone else.

I think I know who you're talking about, though out of respect I won't say their name. Very nice guy indeed. I've seen "hot shots" at shows in the past look at him funny for wearing a plain t-shirt and Levi's.
If it's not the same guy, then there's apparently another extremely well off, well respected, yet low key guy in the industry who owns(either wholly or partially) a LOT of big properties.
