Two guys I know would fit this thread perfectly. They both work abroad mainly and are all over the place so getting together is rare, maybe every few years if we are lucky.

Ask one "so what you been up to?" you get answers like, had dinner at the white house, opened the exchange and was on the telly in Time Square, got invited to some royal wedding etc etc. Ask the other and you get "oh, got another oscar", spent the summer with Jonny Depp and his Mrs, spent a day on a private track in Spain somewhere learning to drive an F1 car.

Oh... and put his, his wife and three kids names down for Virgin Galactic!

So they genuinely do these things do they?

Yep, ones chairman of a company he built from the ground up and the other is a music producer/director.

We were all at school/college together and they both just excelled at what they do. Worked amazingly hard for what they have.
