Though ready to indulge rich whims, he has been known to kill a good sale if he thinks a purchase is not suitable, e.g., a mink coat for a college freshman. As a result, Neiman-Marcus is a respected name in stylish circles around the world. In the past decade Neiman-Marcus' sales have nearly doubled, will hit $41 million this year.
