My dad=owner=nissan murano. I heard a stat, more than 80% of millionaires drive used cars...I guess its because they know what depreciation is and how to budget their money

I work for the Canadian Federal Government. I guess my "CEO" could be any of the following:

The Prime Minister, who rolls around in a motorcade.
The Governor General, who rolls around in a motorcade.
The Queen of England, who, I'd imagine, rolls around in a motorcade.

The CEO of the Taxi Company I work at has a nice 1970's Mercedes-Benz roadster. I forget the exact model.

I'd probably classify you guys as Shareholders and not Chief Executives.

Really, I think that speaks a lot about a person when they are very wealthy, yet don't care about impressing the world with their wealth.

I thought the comment one CEO made about "would you rather your surgeon drive an '07 Mercedes or a '95 Malibu?" was rather funny and ironic to me. My granddad was a very successful doctor who graduated from Vanderbilt and Yale, won a Laureate award, and had many other accomplishments before he died a couple of years ago. However, he drove a '99 Olds Cutlass (basically a rebadged Malibu, see the irony?

). He drove an '87 Chevy Caprice before that.

I'm now 23 and a grad student working on my CPA and have interned at a couple public accounting firms. At both of the firms I worked for, I drove the nicest car of every person who worked at them (including partners, etc). Honestly, it really made me feel like a tool. I had been saving up for years for my Bimmer I just have loved cars since age 2, but they don't know that. For all they knew, I was just some spoiled brat.
