I was impressed by the obvious effort to instill a good work ethic all through the family. There are some who begrudge them the money they made and are making with TV. They didn't start out rich. They mentioned that things got really tight up north and they had to scramble to keep things going. The kids went to school and then worked at the restaurant and shop, starting with some pretty menial jobs and learning the business from the bottom up.
They have created a unique, well-planned community for almost 100K residents that attracts people from all over the country and overseas. They are still actively involved in the process even though their accumulated wealth may have allowed them to sit back and rake it in without lifting a finger. That, to me, shows the concern they have that their vision is realized exactly as they want.
