Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?? Shy and Unpretentious?
So, Roy Disney just died, and here is how the Dawn C. Chmielewski and James Bates of LA Times described him?
He might be a nice guy. All I know about him is that he took Michael Eisner down, which is a plus in my book, but when you own sports cars (plural), owned a 12 crew 74-foot yacht, a private jet, and an Irish Castle, unpretentious is the last adjective that should be used.
The guy owned a freaking castle, and probably sharks with frikkin laser beams in the moat.

Despite wealth estimated at $600 million, Disney remained shy and outwardly unpretentious, according to people who knew him. His main indulgences were a castle in Ireland, a jet, sports cars and financing a passion for sailboat racing. In 1999, Disney fulfilled a lifelong dream when he and the 12-member crew of his 74-foot sloop Pyewacket -- named for the witch's cat in the 1958 film "Bell, Book & Candle" -- won the 2,225-mile Transpacific Yacht Race from Los Angeles to Honolulu, setting a course record.Let me get this straight, he owned sports cars (plural), owned a 12 crew 74-foot yacht, a private jet, and an Irish Castle, and he's "unpretentious"?
