He lived an opulent life, owning more than he could actually assess on even spend, including houses and fancy goods. He owned very precious, unique art pieces in a private collection. The legend says that he could buy anything in the world if he wanted to. He lived as an outcast. To tell the truth, in Athens, he gained the trust or the friendship of no one.

He had an unbending mind, always reaching their goal.
