59 Eye-Opening Things The Super Rich Have Access To That Most People Never Knew Existed

I worked for a foreign born billionaire that hated paying US taxes even though he lived here. The IRS would follow him to the airport and watch him board his private jet and fly back to Europe for a day so he wouldn't be a legal resident. The tax laws are written by and for the wealthy.

House Managers that schedule all the cleaning of the rooms, laundry, order groceries and supplies and keep the staff running smoothly doing everything that needs to be done.

Airport lounges. It's another, hidden world in some airports. The istanbul one with its private marble bathrooms units in the business lounge was crazy to me.

Seasonal addresses. I worked in development for a large university (i.e. fundraising). Many rich people live in 2-4 mansions based on the weather season. Most just had two regular addresses, but some people had as many as four.

We were offered a service where the day or two before our vacation, a car would pick up our checked bags for us. We'd fly with just carry on and when we arrived at the hotel, our bags were there waiting for us. That seemed super convenient and something that would be worth something that most wouldnt think about.

Just never having to go to the grocery store or pumping your own gas or planning your own vacation. The rich like to tell the poor how lazy they are, but the ultra rich are like, the most overconfident lazy people on the planet. They can’t do anything for themselves.

Stand up a non-profit NGO charity. Put your kid in the CEO slot and friends + a baby sitter to prevent a bad paper trail. Then you donate your charitable contributions for tax write offs( something you do anyway) to the NGO that then you get your pet senators to fund with tax payer money. Now your tax write offs+ tax payer money goes to giving your kid and their friends 500k+ salaries.

Buy houses they don’t live in.

They park wherever they want. They just pay the tickets.

Chartered jets - Recently got to try this, surprisingly more affordable than I previously thought if you split the bill with your friends on a trip but retail airline prices are bonkers so I would’ve never know outside of this one novel trip.

I remember reading a comment on a (pretty much identical) thread where someone was saying they rebound entire private libraries worth of books because some people want the content of their shelves to fit the aesthetics of their homes. They said people pay hundred of thousands for this nonsensical service.

Buy groceries without checking their bank account first.

Concierge service from high end credit cards. My uncle has a centurion card ( the Amex black card) he wanted to goto the final four 3 days before it started. Made one phone call to Amex. They booked his flights, hotel, car service, tickets and dinners. He didn’t have to do a thing he just gets sent an email saying here’s everything.

Working with exponentially less effort to make exponentially more money. Poor people don’t even think it’s possible even if they hear it’s an option.

I’ve worked for people who have a house man who travels ahead of them to whatever home they’re going to. He makes sure their clothing is ready and laundered, beds are fresh, florals are fresh, prescriptions are filled, groceries are stocked, meals are prepped, gardener and housemaids are clicking along and cars are serviced. They have different staff, clothing and cars in each home, so they dont pack. Or carry luggage. They fly private in the jet they own.

They say, "I made that." and they truly believe it --when they paid someone to make it for them.
I knew a guy that attends cosplay conventions. He had all his costumes made for him. He thinks he made them. weird.

Little to no country borders. Customs barely exist when you fly private.

Buying everything under a "corporation" nothing in their names.

Never ask or consider the price, if it’s what you need you get it.

Being able to solve almost any inconvenience by throwing money at it. For most people, problems cost time. For rich people, they just have a price tag.
