In my early 20's, which was the late 80's, I became friends with the same age son of the then CEO of DEC. About all I can say there is that larger extended family of their CEO and it looked like the entire social set of their C Suite was completely out of control with wealthy excess, including the CEO himself. Being the 80's, that wealthy excess was luxury goods, travel and expensive drugs. I remember his father learning I was a developer and saying he could get me in at good spot, and my thoughts were "and join your excess club? no thanks." FWIW, not a single person I knew from back then in that crowd is successful today.
