    Font - El_mochilero • 1d I work in the Luxury Travel industry. I know quite a few. Exclusive Resorts is an invite-only membership club for very high end travel. They don't post their prices online, but I know people that work there. They have personal cell phone numbers for people like Jeff Bezos, Waltons, and people that live at that stratospheric titan of industry level.

    Font - Their cheapest membership package is $100,000 to join, and can run up to $250,000. That's just the price to join the club. You have to pay for any travel you want to book on top of that. They have a $600M portfolio of properties they own throughout the world, that only their members have access to. Want to guarantee availability for a finish- line view villa in Monaco during the Grand Prix? Want to get a ski-in cabin next to the Walton's cabin in Aspen over Christmas? Want a luxury pentho

    Font - mecyh. 1d Tailors on Saville Row. Wealthy people get their clothes custom made. 413.6k ... Reply Sleepy Hobo . 1d I remember watching a news video of Prince William talking with locals in a hospital. The conversation turned to how the prince's son (Prince George) was doing. Prince William was talking about how he's growing so fast and they constantly have to get his clothes tailored as if the local guy is supposed to relate to that lol. Tailored clothes for a 4 year old (at the time)...

    Font - hoptownky 1d I had a rich friend once tell me that Gucci is what poor people think rich people wear. Since then I noticed that all of her clothes fit perfect, but she never has logos on anything.

    Organism - AvaRCordero • 1d I used to be of the opinion that really wealthy people wore stuff that you wouldn't really notice, but disappointingly (having spent some time around. folks with extreme wealth recently), the true answer is just: whatever the h I they like. If someone really liked branded gear before they were wealthy, you'd better believe they're going to be dressed like Ali G once they make it big.

    Font - elmatador12 • 1d Jeff Goldblum was on the Conan podcast and talked about where he got his jeans. It was from this hard to find shop in New York that not many people had heard of. Come to find out, not surprisingly, their jeans are insanely expensive and only the very rich could afford them.

    Font - scots. 1d Buy a copy of The Robb Report magazine at a bookstore and marvel at the insane ads in the back for private jets, yacht brokers, military level trained personal protection Belgian Malinois guardian dogs, personal protection security firms staffed by former US Secret Service and retired Tier 1 operators only in their early 40s and fit with 20 years experience, and even crazier stuff. Pfft buying a $400 pair of jeans is pedestrian when you have Taylor Swift money and roll in 2 full

    Font - ToothbrushGames. 1d Almost all of the well known luxury brands have several lines. The ones with logos all over them are typically the cheapest (I'm looking at you LV, Gucci) etc. which is why they're so common. The same companies will have more exclusive lines that are much more expensive, usually more classic in style, and they're not covered in logos, so you'd never know what brand they are unless you're really into that kind of thing. For example, my wife wanted to buy me a nice walle

    Font - funhousefrankenstein 1d ● An Italian friend arranged a visit to a Murano glass gallery. After the general public cleared out of the public showroom, the gallery's people took us up some stairs to the "real deal" gallery with shelves full of breathtaking art pieces. We admired one vase on a shelf, but were told that it would never be offered for sale -- it was too important as part of the island's legacy & heritage. I think that the way we zeroed in on it somewhow convinced them that we we

    Font - StrangledByTheAux • 1d When I met my wife she worked selling high end watches. Talking about it on our first date I said 'oh like Rolex and stuff?' She said 'Rolex customers are just new money, drug dealers and old men. If people contact us wanting one we just direct them to a watch shop. Then rattled off a list of about 10 makers I'd never heard of which her international clients would fly here just to try on. I was wearing a Luminox at the time which I thought was pretty badass but all

    Font - cmc ● 1d I don't know if this is quiet or I'm just extra-poor, but Loewe is apparently a thing. I saw an ad that they'd be doing a special launch with Howl's Moving Castle-inspired fashions so I signed up for alerts, thinking I'd buy something when it was released. SHOCKED to receive a notification for like, $11k jackets.
