There are obviously tonnes of accurate stereotypes in the TV show Silicon Valley, but one of the ones I think about often is when Richard calculates how much money Russ Hanneman has made investing his billions... and it works out to less than sticking it in the bank.

You've got all these silicon valley guys running around "venture investing", the truth is it's more of a life style than a money making exercise. They made their money decades ago, and now they're just sort of hanging around desperately trying to tell everyone how clever they are.
