In Silicon Valley, Millionaires Who Don’t Feel Rich

August 7, 2007 | 8:00 pm

money.jpgHere is a new interesting article from the New York Times.

Mr. Steger, 51, a self-described geek, has banked more than $2 million. The $1.3 million house he and his wife own on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean is paid off. The couple’s net worth of roughly $3.5 million places them in the top 2 percent of families in the United States.

And the funniest part:

Most mornings, he can be found at his desk by 7. He typically works 12 hours a day and logs an extra 10 hours over the weekend.

I think it really show the mentality of people here. I wish I was this guy, not for the working time (I’m almost like him… ) but for his net worth :)

New Yorkers pay more for parking than living space.

July 26, 2007 | 4:28 am

Manhattan real estate agent Tom Postilio said there is a waiting list of seven or eight people hoping to pay $225,000 for one of five private parking spaces that has been approved in the basement of 246 West 17th Street, a 34-unit condo development scheduled for completion next January.

The building at 246 West 17th Street with the $225,000 parking spots has two-bedroom, 2-1/2 bath 1,717-square-foot units listed for $2.2 million. That works out to $1,281 a square foot, while parking spot costs about $1,500 a square foot.
