He often works Saturdays, hates to give speeches (though he does), devotes most of his time to financial matters. A keen sportsman, he leaves his beachside house near Miami whenever possible for a 160-acre mountain retreat in Wyoming, where he is usually joined by his second wife and five children (four of them from her previous marriage; Maytag's first wife has the three children from the first Maytag marriage).
