Continuing this line of thought, and questioning local criticism of the club itself, Colin reiterates that 90 percent of the club members are self-made, full of folks who have worked tirelessly—80 and 90 hours a week he says—and need desperately somewhere to relax, and to enjoy the fruits of their labor. “You know, work hard and then play hard,” he says. Colin makes room for one exception, admitting that there are some club members who have benefited from the tech bubble, and these members aren’t as respected by other ultra-wealthy people because they haven’t put in the time to steadily earn their wealth.
