Last year, I was speaking at a gathering of wealthy male investors. The organizers posted the 1 of a survey showing that only a small percentage of wealthy men believed their wives spent too much.
'What?' 2 one participant. 'Those guys have to be lying.'
There is no reliable 3 of who spends more among the rich: men or women. Both will say the other is the 4 spender.
A recent survey by Wilmington Trust, Campden Research and Relative Solutions proves the 5 . The companies polled 40 women (I know, that is more like a show of hands than 'survey'), each with a net worth of $25 million or more.
About half the respondents（受调查者） inherited（.继承） their 6 , a quarter 7 it from their husbands and the other quarter earned it 8 . That is roughly in line with other surveys of 9 women and the source of their money. One interesting note: among the self-made women, 90% got their money from owning a business, rather than 10 a salary.
As for 11 , almost all the women (90%) described their spending habits as 'below their means.' The report on the survey said that is 'possibly 12 they do not view their extreme wealth as defining their success.
'Women tend not to spend as much as 13 and splash（泼洒得使到处是） their names all over the place,' said one woman in the survey, describing her spending as conservative and he lifestyle as 'below the radar.'
Many women also worried about wealth having 14 effects on their children and didn't want to spend lavishly（挥霍） to 15 a bad example.
At the same time, 70% of the women said they 'buy nice things when 16 .' And 93.5% of the women said they were responsible for making 17 on major purchases, which 18 that they do a lot of the big spending.
Of course, for truly major purchases a house in Aspen, Colo., a Gulfstream, a Feadship the couple probably makes the decision 19 .
But what about other 20 ? Do you think men or women do most of the high-end spending?
