At least one wealthy family in NYC I met doesn't use surface transport for much... they use helicopters or have things/people/shopping/restaurants brought to them.
Had an experience where a store sent tailors, stylists, a manager, and a ton of inventory so that they could clothes shop while still in their home. Apparently, this was "normal". My shock was a source of great amusement to them.
They did the same thing with restaurants, movies, concerts, even a play... the staff, etc. came to them.
I have no idea just how wealthy they were (Brazilian who owned many businesses in oil and gas production) but I had never seen (or even heard of) such service.
- woodruffw 1y agoI don’t think your wealthy acquaintances are representative. I’ve lived in NYC my entire life, and I know plenty of wealthy people. Most take the subway; a small but not insignificant minority drive or are driven everywhere.
- dullcrisp 1y agoYou mean the skies aren’t filled with everyone riding helicopters?
- Nevermark 1y agoThe skies are so filled with copters that you can walk from building to building on their blades.
- FuriouslyAdrift 1y agoI think we're talking about the difference between millionaires and billionaires (they are definitely billionaires).
- II2II 1y agoThis sounds more like and impoverished life than a wealthy one. (Clearly I am referring to the life experience, rather than how much money they have and how they spend it.)
