They had their own condo and would go hiking during the day. At night, they would meet with Tony’s longtime friend Rachel Brown and other Zappos employees.

Perrico says he only saw Tony once in passing. However, he did see the massive house where Tony was living.

He described it as heavily fortified. He also talked about Tony’s generosity.
