Yet, despite his achievements, the millennial cofounder and co-chief of Castore is so scared of running out of money that he never buys expensive clothes or watches and only flies economy. Other successes like Mark Cuban and Keke Palmer, who similarly came from humble beginnings, echo his frugal habits and anxieties.
