Holy cow! Billionaire Kevin O’Leary shared the golden spending rule his mother lived by: never buy junk.

His mother bought only one Chanel jacket per year — but it had to be a true masterpiece. As a result, after she passed away, the women in the family nearly came to blows over those jackets, because the value of those discontinued Chanel pieces had long since surpassed their original purchase price.

The secret to why the rich get richer is simple: stop buying garbage that just sits around and save your money for truly high-quality items. Better to have nothing than to have rubbish.
