Sitting on roughly $3.5 million in SpaceX shares, Chip, a former data scientist at Elon Musk's aerospace behemoth, has recently bought meteorites worth $10,000 and a $5,000 fire truck.
The 50-year-old space enthusiast is not sure how he will use the truck - maybe as an attraction for his 3-year-old kid's birthday party. But his new wealth tied to SpaceX's initial public offering in June has given him the freedom to buy "silly" things, he told Reuters.
Chip, who asked to use only his first name to discuss personal finances, has been eyeing the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 1887 SpaceX Chronograph watch in the $8,000 range, inspired by NASA astronaut John Glenn's 1962 mission in Earth's orbit.
