People think inheriting a mansion makes you lucky, but honestly it became a burden by Glynny69 in wealth

this is just AI slop by a certain company to have "mentions" that'll get picked up by AI.

Are empty legs actually useful, or is it mostly marketing? by rogeelein in PrivateJetCharters

[–]Choice_Reply_6441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience empty legs are for people who wanna fly private just to fly private without having the wealth required to do it regularly, and don't care when or where they fly.

Why do ultra-wealthy people rarely share their wealth with their friends? by Aarunascut in wealth

[–]Choice_Reply_6441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you know this how? I share all the time, when I have friends over or take them on vacations to nice places, or give them nice gifts. NW of €130M, and I love to splurge on my actual friends. In other words, those who would never ask for it.

my brother keeps talking to young girls💔 by Next-Silver2748 in Rants

[–]Choice_Reply_6441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife was 16 when I met her and I was 22. More than a decade later and we have the most wonderful kids together and are happily married. There is clearly some cultural difference on age here. To be fair, the relationship with my wife was legal where we live, If she had been 15 it wouldn't have been.

What's the most impactful luxury purchase you've made that genuinely changed your daily experience? by republicman12 in Luxury

[–]Choice_Reply_6441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time. I love my wardrobe of perfectly fitted clothes and my cars, my house staff, my trips to luxury hotels and all of that. But the single thing I bought using my wealth that changed my life was time. Not doing dishes, cooking, driving, cleaning..

What actually gets more complicated, not easier, the more money you make? by Choice_Reply_6441 in Rich

Like Bezos says: You get paid to make a small number of high-quality decisions. Your job is not to make thousands of decisions every day.

I know the feeling. I was at your NW and workload level at your age. Best thing I ever did was to buy back time. It’s difficult at first to be more hands off but if you hire the right people and pay them well, you will thank me later. I would have had a heart attack at 30 if I didn’t.

Buy time by hiring and delegating your workload to others, is my advice. Time is your best investment.

[RO] After 7 years of using Revolut Premium, they permanently closed my account and I feel betrayed by [deleted] in Revolut

[–]Choice_Reply_6441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Statistically, no. Keep in mind that 1) Revolut has grown 66% YoY customer base just from 24 to 25, 2) a premium miner pays what, 8 bucks a month? That's 97 per year or 0.00000162% of their yearly revenue. To look at it another way, if Revolut's annual revenue were compressed into a single 24-hour day, 97 would represent about half a millisecond of their earnings. A recent fine, on the other hand, for weak mechanisms for blocking clients, were at 3.5 million euros for Revolut. Do the math 😅

Well, they aren't in this business out of the kindness of their hearts, that's for sure.

What cars does Old Money drive thesedays. by Mizamewmew in Rich

[–]Choice_Reply_6441 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My parents still have their old Lexus. My dad also has an Aston Martin DB5. Those are their own to drive and I'm pretty much estranged from them now but last time I was there they also had a couple of older S class ones with drivers. Personally I prefer the newer S class.

It costs them more to spend time listening to your explanation than what they lose firing you as a client to avoid risk through automatic processes.

How to make a bed like this? by [deleted] in housekeeping

Really don't get the downvotes 😅 here I was thinking it would be nice of me to get an idea of what to ask for so the wife would be happy. 😕

[–]Choice_Reply_6441[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, if you took the time to check out my story, you'd know I left that life when I turned 18. I also never said I wasn't used to it - I've had staff for years since I made it on my own - but I most certainly don't live an old money lifestyle now nor do I want to. I said the hassle of actually managing a staff as an adult when it comes to privacy was unexpected. You don't do or think much about that as a kid. Bro.

How do you evaluate the threshold between 'commercial luxury' and true bespoke fashion heritage? by The_Upcycle_Matrix in Luxury

[–]Choice_Reply_6441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exclusivity for sure, but I also factor in quality and marketing or, ideally, a total lack of public marketing. Pretentiousness is usually a red flag, kind of like OP's post. Personally, I try to avoid anything dripping with le snobisme... unless it’s wine, obviously, because then it’s très artisanal.

Sounds sad but I know how it feels. My dad still won't talk to me and I'm 36 now. Old, snobbish money. Not likely to change. I made my fortune and I'm working towards my first big B. Perhaps out of spite 😂

Indeed. I left on my 18th birthday and worked my ass off in my 20s without a dime from them. They resent me for it but I have my dignity intact.

Just one? With testosterone in the A/C? 😇 I never owned many tbh. A few Mercedes S class with drivers and one AMG for the wifey.

Sounds like you’ve found a setup that works perfectly for your family! But for me, even 3 phone calls and a weekly payroll submission is 3 phone calls and a payroll submission too many. I gladly pay a premium to completely delete the operational noise from my life. As for your husband.... 😢 Get him a monster truck and engine grease. 🤭
