Here’s what people said…

“They call boutique stores ahead of time to say they are coming in on a specific date.
I worked in a high-end store back in the day.

“Paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for golf course memberships.
I photograph luxury homes in my state’s most exclusive golf course neighborhoods.
“I have a client who is so wealthy she is functionally invisible.
No online presence, un-Googleable.
Once a week, a beauty staff shows up for a wax and manicure.
She just dials a phone number, says what she wants, and gets it immediately.
She has a concierge on staff.
So that’s what the ultra-rich do.

“Hiring a stylist to curate new designer furniture for their house when it needs a refresh.”
“I know a family that had a vacation home on a beach in Mexico.
They owned the small house across the street where they let the caretaker and his family live.
The family could call from the US airport at noon.

I jokingly asked for one.
The truth is, I doubt I could even afford the insurance, let alone maintenance and fuel.”

“They keep their pools heated 24/7, 365 days a year, for homes in multiple countries.
It became a thing to do when the pandemic hit.
Some are 100% mobile, like teaching on the jet, all over the world.”

“They ‘summer’ (in the verb form).”
“Buying a home for their college-age child.
Then, they sell the house when their kid graduates.
Sometimes, this sale pays for college.”

“A former client of mine had two yachts moored in the South of France next to each other.
One was fast, and the other was slow.
Sometimes, he’d stay overnight, sometimes not.
But he’d take the fast yacht back to home port.
The captains would hand out thousands to get the best berths in St. Tropez.
He used the yachts like his taxi.
That’s how you’re supposed to ‘trillionaire.'”
“They hire assistants to do things we wouldn’t dream of doing.

“They fly to another country on a private jet just to eat dinner.”
“Most of my rich friends growing up always had stocked and organized fridges.
Someone else did all the shopping and kept everything organized.”

“My wife works in an ultra-luxury watch store.
Average prices for the pieces they have on hand are usually between $75k and $200k.
Dad buys all three for something like $600k without batting an eyelash.”
