Reddit user pedrob_d asked: 'What is a "rich person thing" you would be totally into if you became rich?'

There's a popular saying going around on social media right now that says, "If I won the lottery, I wouldn't tell people, but there would be signs."

Because the truth of the matter is, most of us would explore some hobbies that are completely inaccessible to us because of the income bracket we find ourselves in, even if it was just buying a few more books each month and adding built-in shelving instead of using boards and cement blocks.


Curious, Redditor pedrob_d asked:

"What is a 'rich person thing' you would be totally into if you became rich?"

"If I were legitimately suddenly rich, my sister has a culinary degree. She learned that she hated working in a restaurant kitchen but I know she loves cooking and she's a good cook."

What Else Could a Rich Person Want?

"Secret passages in my home."

- Thin-Rip-3686

"I saw a video recently of a house with a big hidden door that opens up on one wall of their living room and their huge Christmas tree slides in there when it’s time to put it away for the year. No undecorating, no boxing it up. Literally 30 seconds and it’s gone until next year. Your comment reminded me of that."

- NetDork

Retiring Early or Retiring At All

"My friend's ex-wife inherited several million dollars when her father died (which was after they divorced) and retired in her mid-40s. She was running her own (small) business at the time and sold the business, but she also owned the building the business was based in and leased it to the new owners of the business. So she now has that income on top of her millions of dollars."

"My friend doesn't know the exact amount she inherited but says he'd be surprised if it wasn't at least five to seven million."

"My friend said she remodeled her entire house after getting the inheritance as well and paid off the remaining mortgage. That sounds like a pretty sweet situation to be in."

Ah, Fresh-Squeezed Orange Juice

"I was dating a guy, in college, who came from a pretty privileged background."

"We were having lunch and, when he took a sip of his OJ, he immediately spit it back out into the bottle, pulled my bottle from my hand and said, 'Don’t drink it, it’s gone bad!'"

"It hadn’t gone bad, he had only ever had fresh squeezed OJ before, so Tropicana tasted like rot to him."

"I could definitely get used to that."

- whitneywestmoreland

All the Bells and Whistles

"Skiing. I’m already totally into it, but I do it in poor person style, never staying at the resort, packing PBJ sandwiches in my pockets, etc."

- innocuous_gorilla

"Whoa. That's, like, my dream."

A Real Life House Manager

"House manager. All my really wealthy clients have one. They handle all the day to day chores and make sure everything the home needs is done."

"It can be a great gig. One house manager I know has worked for the same family for over 30 years. When they built their new home in West Palm Beach, Florida, they actually built him his own suite off the main floor. He gets to fly on their plane six times per year."

"Patron of the arts!"

- evasandor

"Same. I love seeing theater and symphony performances, but I'd absolutely get better seats, donate to organizations, and sponsor tickets for people who can't afford to go."

- Sage_Planter

"I’d be handing out grants to make the art. Because doing so is good for the mind, and it’s fun, and the world needs more fun and good minds."

- evasandor

"Those artists would eat well if I was blessed with money."

- World_of_Warshipgirl

"God, I would commission so much art."

- Mainstreamnerd


While we might joke about buying a jet or a large collection of limited edition sports cars, most of us would just like some increased comfort and convenience.

From wishing for a chef to a personal stylist to wanting to support the arts, most of these wishes would simply make a person feel more comfortable in their own skin or would feed their soul in some way, which are some of the most important things that money could buy.

Trump's Dismissive Reaction To Concerns About Insider Trading Amid His War With Iran Speaks Infuriating Volumes

In an article for CounterPunch titled "Trump’s Casino Royale: The Iran War," Matthew Stevenson wrote:

"Given that Donald Trump conceives of the presidency as a casino—why else would he be trying to makeover the White House to look like the Bellagio?—it makes sense that his administration has turned the war with Iran into an insider-trading scheme."
"It used to be that wars were fought to make 'the world safe for democracy' or 'to end all wars' (a World War I expression), but now wars are fought so that Trump insiders can get rich quick in prediction markets or to help the president’s family (and its remittance men) corner the Persian Gulf oil market."

Pointing out who is profiting off inflating oil prices and creating false scarcity, Stevenson added:
