And he sells $3 billion of homes through his platform, which just makes it really easy to go from building a new home to selling it.

And he lives in Texas and eats at a... you know, low-key restaurant called Luby's.
Owen ZidarGUEST
And if you ran into him at Luby's, you would not think he's clearing almost $100 million of income every year.
Soumaya KeynesHOST
Yeah, I mean, I suppose one of the patterns that struck me was this sense that you don't necessarily become a millionaire by going to an Ivy League university, getting straight A's and, you know, acing the academics, right? These other routes seem to be a bit more common.

Yes.

the green kind
speaker_3NARRATOR
Cafeterias were the predecessor to the modern buffet, where Americans pushed trays down an aisle, food sat warming on steam tables, servers portioned each dish onto plates, and every item had its own price.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Chains like Morrison's and Luby's built their empires over decades on the simple formula of value and consistency, but by the late 70s the format had become stale.
speaker_3NARRATOR
The single file line was slow, the rooms felt sterile, and the rationing made these places feel more like schools or hospitals.
speaker_3NARRATOR
The buffet chains of the 80s ripped up this status quo.
