The original ballas....

My generation ballas knew how to earn and how to spend to excess. A $100k/month was just enough to get you into the club, 500-1million was not a rarity. This was done on a consistent basis, with no losing months. If you drove a BMW you were a piker. The time was the 90's, we were stockbrokers, some were legit some werent. But unless you had some god given crazy talent this was the way a 21yr old made a million a year.

We used to dismiss some of the less reputable firms as bucket shops and their brokers as thieves. I will say that I started my career at one, albeit for only 6 months. But these guys made a ton of dough, were the kings of gluttony and had few morals, a recipe for true balla lifestyle.

The guy was and is a scumbag, but for those that like stories of young kids and ultra extravagances, you might enjoy it.
