Here are some of the most jaw-dropping replies:

“An acquaintance of mine works as a senior engineer on huge mega yachts.
All of the staff know to stay clear of the sun deck between 11 and 12 every morning.
The added kicker, the yacht is named after his first wife.”
Then they decided they may as well build a stable.
They now have about eight horses and run an equestrian school.
Imagine having the money to turn a child’s whim into a business."

I know it sounds made up, but rich people are weird, and so is New York.”
She said in the 18 months she worked there, she only knew of him using it himself once.

“I worked at a summer boarding school inFrancefor rich English kids.
Parents would send the kids to us and jet off for the season.
He was in hospital for two months with various complications before being moved home.
The parents never came to visit, never even spoke to him.
After two weeks, his au pair or something came for about three hours.
Some of those kids were little bastards, but it was very clear why.”
So he legit tells her to get on the jet, and bring it him immediately.
He apologized for the inconvenience by adding 20% to the deal.
Money isn’t an actual thing to wealthy people.
It’s all a made-up concept of unlimited 1s and 0s."
She had a full-time private chef and kitchen staff, although she lived there alone.

“Lots of pill popping to handle stress especially before speaking engagements.
People always viewed them as friendly, engaging, and fun.
Little did they know that was a public persona thanks to copious amounts of Ativan.
We had to remember all of these particular preferences and abide by them always.”

“Saw a Prince of Saudi Arabia in the early ’90s throw money in a way beyond all imagination.
Dropped about $100k for a single dinner for him, his wife, and his two children.
Shutting down the fine-dining restaurant in our hotel costs $30k for one night.
He had one 747 for himself and another for his staff, which numbered around 400 people.”

“My boss has a wooden covering to what once encased an ancient Egyptian mummy.
He is elderly, and we were preparing items to be shipped to his daughter, who lives overseas.
We didn’t send it because it is a known stolen artifact and will be confiscated at customs.”
“My dad was friends with a Spanish rich dude because they shared a love for old cars.
My dad had one, and the rich dude had many.
His parents were never around so she was the one to actually raise him.
She had been working in that comically large house for over 30 years.
One day, the rich dude decides he wants to move to the US and sells the house.
What does he do with the maid?
He just fired her over the phone.
He never even said goodbye to the woman that basically raised him.

“Had a client who purchased a newly built penthouse apartment and wanted a jacuzzi on the balcony.
It wouldve meant a structural column was needed in the middle of the balcony below.
The contractor who built the apartment block wouldnt go for it as it would impact selling that apartment.
Voila, problem solved.”

“Did building maintenance for a wealthy family who had a Lego room for their grandkids.
This room was huge and had cupboards full of Lego and building tables everywhere.
There were hugeStar Warsships and castles, etc., all over the place.
I carefully packed them all into bags and gave them to friends' children.
Many thousands of dollars worth.
Man, I was popular.”
“I was a waitress when younger.
I had a super wealthy guy who wanted to date me but I wasnt having it.
Said no, even after his $500 tips.
Then he said, ‘Now I own this place, we WILL hang out.’
He took me on trips and bought me a Benz and a small apartment.
He would do WILD shit.
Just unforgettable insane things; I can list many!

“I work at a private social country club.
Our members are billionaires and triple-digit millionaires.
They ‘playfully’ discuss their jets like poor people discuss streaming services.
When we have weddings at the country club, the tents we usually use cost more than $200,000.
I feel so poor there sometimes.
But I am also more content with my life and have true self-awareness.”

“I got stiffed by the super wealthy.
They didnt feel like paying me, so they didnt.
Kids were packed off to boarding school at 8.
The middle child was dreading it tears every night, literally sobbing himself to sleep in my arms.
Parents' attitude was, ‘We were like that too, so he has to do it.’
The youngest was two at the time and would always prefer me to his actual mum.
She didn’t seem bothered.

“Ive worked for a few billionaires.
One owned a box at the local concert venue.
He would give seats to us sometimes.
His crew was backstage with all the best bands.
Another one started his company and brought in his friends and family on the ground floor.
He would pit them against each other in board meetings.
Wife one, two, and three were all former employees.”

“I tutored a kid once in math.
One day, she asked me to drive her downtown to ‘shop.’
She blew about $24K on diamonds, pearls, and costume jewelry.
This was a monthly thing.
I was charging $30 an hour and felt like an idiot.”
