Most of us have dreams of becoming independently wealthy. Maybe by having a tik-tok blow up and becoming the new face of Arby's, or inventing a flying machine in your garage that runs on farts. Preferably both of those things at the same time. You could fly just about anywhere on one tank of gas if you got free Arby's.

But sometimes it's the people who were born into insane wealth, the people who can't conceive of life any other way, the out-of-touch wealthy people, that really fascinate us. What's going on in those heads of theirs that they lay down on satin pillows? Their beds made of platinum. Their duvets of solid gold so heavy it would crush anyone who decided to sleep under it.

We live in a world with terrifyingly large pits of money that some of us have managed to scrooge-mcduck their way into. Being in a society that has such a stratified system of wealth is fascinating as well as frustrating. The fact that one person might have to buy insulin on layaway and another person just bought a support yacht for their mega-yacht feels inherently gross. It's easy to wonder what the rest of us are doing with our tiny little lives. The lives and attitudes of the wealthy are as fascinating as they are frustrating, and money has an affect on how people interact with the world around them.

    Font - ilyatwttmab - 2 days ago · edited 2 days ago 2 6 S 4 & 2 More I used to know the price of a gallon of milk but now I don't. I am not rich, but I used to be poor. I needed to know that price. Now we are blessed to have enough that if i need it, I just grab it without looking at the price tag I imagine that being rich would be similar but on a grander scale. EDIT: I ended up going to the store just now to get something for my husband and i checked. It's $4.51 for the store brand 2% milk

    Font - moogula1992 - 2 days ago I used to work at a clothing store. This lady comes in, she's well dressed looks great and is super polite to the people helping her. At checkout she pulls out a black Amex card. She was not my first black Amex card customer but she was above and beyond more of a human than the others. I assume she was rich as f. k.

    Font - tom289555 - 2 days ago I used to work in private aviation. The richest man I personally knew from the job owned a fully spec'd up Gulfstream G650ER (roughly USD $80million with its spec package). Other then when he was getting on and off his personal aircraft that he used to fly between his home in Hong Kong and our base in Canada, you would never know he was that wealthy. He'd often show up for his flight in a beat up old minivan that he liked cause he "could fit lots of stuff in the bac

    Font - DendroNate · 2 days ago Friend of mine used to run a ridiculously exclusive cocktail bar. He always said "The ones in the fancy clothes who look filthy rich are normally reasonably wealthy. The ones in jeans and t-shirts who look normal are normally filthy rich" Basically the truly rich people didn't see the place as anything out of the ordinary, so saw no reason to dress up.

    Font - SuchLovelyLilacs · 2 days ago LOL - one of my friends is a trust fund baby. She owned an apartment in Manhattan which she owned outright. She didn't have a full time job until she was 37 and it was mostly because she was "bored." She met her SO when she was 44 and spent north of $100k on fertility treatments so they could have a baby (which they eventually did). It never even occurred to her that 95% of the people in the world do not live this way.... I love her, but she has a great disco
