2. James Packer And David Gyngell

If you stumbled onto this scene on the streets, you would assume this scene involved two homeless men fighting over loose change on the street, or two drug addicts squabbling over some minor dispute. But it might surprise you to learn that these two men are actually some of the richest men in the world. James Packer is the man in the black cap on top of the man with grey hair being pushed into the grass, who is David Gyngell. James Packer is a resort owner from Australia worth about $4 billion. David Gyngell is a millionaire and CEO of the Nine Network, which owns a string of businesses mostly involved with television.

So why did these two rich men fight? It’s even more surprising when you consider that the two men are actually friends, and they once shared an apartment together. According to reports, David Gyngell was the one who showed up and instigated the incident, in response to reports that James Packer had begun dating Miranda Kerr, the Australian supermodel, after leaving his wife.

1. Mark Cuban

Mark Cuban is another mega-rich man who seems like the average dude. He’s the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, as well as many television and film companies, with a net worth of about $3 billion. He grew up in a very normal family, who was not wealthy. He once sold garbage bags at the age of 12 in order to buy new basketball shoes. A wide range of business investments since leaving college led him to the position he’s in right now.

Even though he’s incredibly rich, he dresses in a very average manner. Some simple sneakers, regular jeans, and a long-sleeved shirt are all he chooses to wear most of the time. But it’s not only his choice of clothing that gives him the appearance of a regular dude. He also screams and shouts at the officials during basketball games, to the point where he is fined significant amounts of money by the NBA. It seems that even though he’s a billionaire, he still behaves like the average drunk dude at sports games, yelling his head off and occasionally getting thrown out of the stadium. In addition to his modest lifestyle, Mark Cuban donates to charity and is involved in philanthropy.
