Very true. I greatly admire Hughes as a businessman, yet this is the aspect
of his life that Hollywood seems to find most distasteful, as if the only
people entitled to be rich are movie stars.

Now that you mention it....

Hughes goes to visit Helpburn's family, where he is told that they
don't discuss money. Hughes mumbles: "That's because you've always had
it." He seems to be the gauche nouveau riche. But of course Hughes was
born rich, too, probably richer than Helpburn's family.

I suppose though that there's a difference between Dallas? rich and
Cos Cob? rich.
