I feel Goose should point out to this Captain that not all F/Os want to hear about his riches. It is poor "home training" to brag about your wealth to anyone.

I was able to become a wide body captain at 40 not because I was a Chuck Yeager clone but because I was hired at the right time. I believe you should treat your F/Os with the utmost respect. Besides the F/O may see something you don't see and therefore cover your a$$.
Someone who gets it!
