I had Brett go through ROTC while attending Berkeley. Unlike some TV personalities/politicians who constantly brag about their wealth even when they probably inflate it, my guys tend to be a bit more restrained about showing off. Hell, Cap and Mr. A led a quiet life out of the public eye until CJ came to live with them. It's their sons who created the circumstances for the fathers to also become public figures.
I wanted Ritch to be fine with his wealth, not embarrassed by it. At the same time, I wanted him to be reticent about shouting it out for everyone to know. I wanted to show someone reaching their position in life through hard work instead of by currying favor.
