Linuxluver: Frugal millionaires are miserly people who don't buy anything unless they absolutely have to. :-)
I've known a few super-rich, and they are the cheapest people I know.
I remember a friend that used a trick when filling his car. Once the pump stopped, but with the nozzle still in the tank, he'd lift the hose to get the last few drops of gasoline.
And he was a terror at restaurants, where anything free meant he'd grab as much as he could carry. His glovebox was full of condiments.
And when we went to hotels, he'd NEVER pay the advertised price. We'd go from hotel to hotel for hours, where he'd spend 30 minutes negotiate the rate, only to leave, and eventually return to the one with the cheapest rate.
(In hotels, any room that goes unused means money lost, so if you show up, some are willing to do a deal)
But when he did spend money, wow, he'd spend money.
