Rochard should have read Minte's book:
Minte apparently is head of the company he inherited from his Dad:
Quote:
(redacted Minte's biz) is a multigenerational family affair. In 1967, (Minte's Dad) started a tool and die shop in his (redacted) garage. Soon, he bought a small building in town. The founder died in 1998, but the skilled machinist tradition lives on.
?The strength, the nucleus of our metals business is due to the fact that we all started our careers as tool and die makers,? said (Minte), (redacted)?s son. He is a journeyman toolmaker. So is his brother (redacted), who heads engineering, and (redacted)'s brother-in-law (redacted), vice president of the metals division.
In the early 1980s, (redacted) began making fabricated molds, picking up rotomolding customers. (Minte) became general manager in 1995 when his father retired, and then became president and CEO when (Minte's father) died.

Minte's constant flaunting of his material possessions is very unbecoming and reflects a type of insecurity common to the nouveau riche, however it makes sense when you understand his recent wealth was largely financed by his inheritance (since it is unlikely that Minte could have bought the company on the salary his Dad paid him for 30 years, before inheriting the company upon his Dad's death).
Basically, Minte is a mini-Romney wannabe (not that there's anything wrong with that).
