No reasonable person would call a $6m purchase "modest".


I'm reasonable and I say it is. You are looking at a number, I'm looking at possessions. For example, he could have bought the entire building but he is sharing it with two other owners. A modest man.


Modesty has to be relative, otherwise anything beyond the lowest cost to feed a starving person on the planet is beyond modesty.
