Why don't rich people travel or do anything to enjoy their wealth...

It's not the game in you pocket. It is the game in you heart.

If he never goes out, does he have sex with prostitutes or what?

he has a girl on and off, he never really had a lot of girls in his life. he goes out to hang out with his friends at a bowling alley and small things like that

He has most likely done it all already and has realized, just like you will, that people are dicks and youre best left alone.

Sounds humble af

But if I was him I would definitely live the life if you know what I mean

I guess money doesn't change personality sometimes

40 mil is fucking nothing

>rich NEET
>hardly an enviable life

But that's the dream, senpai

Bullshit
>inb4 my $5000 a night hotel

It's fucking nothing until you realize you have literally 40 million and can just sit in your modest home all day with your 2 dogs, 2 cats, 10 chickens or something and an aquarium and do absolutely god damn nothing for the rest of your life if you want or at least until you think of something better to do.

If I had a fucking 10th of that I'd be good for like 20 years at least. I'd probably just bide my time until I found something I was passionate about and wanted to do again.

Not everyone here is a wannabe Bilzerian or whatever.

Maybe OP's neighbor has 40 mil -because- his major hobby is sitting at home with his dogs or whatever.

People say they want to be millionaires but they really don't. They just want to spend a million dollars.

Rich people who weren't born rich realize that ballin out of control doesn't actually make them happy.

40 million is Yact personal jet levels of money, but it gives you unlimited personal freedom to do anything you want for the rest of your life.

Even just 1 million unlocks life to its fullest potential for anyone.

If you spend money like a gangster you'll wind up a gangster. Spending impulsiveness is mostly for hollywood types. People who earned their wealth usually know better.

For many wealthy people, their single biggest thrill is making more money.

It's something I always scoffed at and frustrated me when I had no money. I'd look at these rich people and go, "holy shit, you don't even need to work, you could just get on a jet and go around the world doing fun shit! Why don't you!?"

But after I started making money I started seeing it from their perspective. It's an accumulation of power and you can flex it however you want whenever you want. And the thrill of the kill does become addictive.

Lookout guys!

Smart guy gonna give us all some perspective on things.

maybe that's just the life he wants man. talk to him about it and you might get some nice insight/perspective. i wish i had (self-made) rich friends

>I guess money doesn't change personality sometimes
i just wanna be rich enough that i can start showing up to work in casual (i hate monkey suits so much) and inspire other companies to drop the act as well desu.

lol the average american never make more than 5 mil anyway

this is true

let me clarify. i wanna own a large thriving company and drop the dress code for my employees.

>i just wanna be rich enough that i can start showing up to work in casual (i hate monkey suits so much) and inspire other companies to drop the act as well desu.
>let me clarify. i wanna own a large thriving company and drop the dress code for my employees.

I'll take, "Reasons this dude will never be rich for $200, Alex..."

If you look at the hierarchy of needs, money itself would represent the box around your physiological needs.

Once the first two tiers are permanently taken care of, you won't be satisfied with your life until you create something meaningful.

I don't know, time?
I haven't been able to do any real travel for 3 years.
Not because I can't afford to, but finding someone to dump your kids on for a month is harder than you might think.

this

unless you have some huge futurist vision of terraforming new planets or some shit might as well chill out and smoke more

>the way you dress defines your future wealth

should have taken 'delusional consumerist ideas' for $10,000

>Not wanting to look your personal best and the people of your organization that represent you to look their best because it's a fact that looking your best increases confidence and positivity which translates to a greater general quality of life and increasing the chance of success of myself and those around me...

Yes. I'm clearly just a delusional consumer.

>looks matter
you are the delusional consumer

also, did you ever consider i look and feel better in a casual shirt than in a suit?

like, are you a universalist or something, kid?

>did you ever consider i look and feel better in a casual shirt than in a suit?

No, you don't.

Kid...

>No, you don't.
universalist you are
i bet you feel really happy when bobby invites you to his party before everyone else in class

I know someone who is worth 140 million

He wears JC Penny suits and Seiko watches.

He drives a 180k car, but still, his clothing is all mall tier

ugh commoners think I want to mingle with them how rude.

>I know someone who is worth 140 million
>He wears JC Penny suits and Seiko watches.
>He drives a 180k car, but still, his clothing is all mall tier

I don't care where his suit is from...he wears a suit...
Drives a 180k car

>"hurr durr this proves this guy is wrong!"

My guess is the guy is over 30. Depending on the age, they may already "been there, done that, got the t-shirt." The person probably did the travel and experiences before you met them. There are only a few places in the world to which I will travel. For the rest I have already done it or something similar to it. Similarly when one finds clothes, friends, locations that suit them, why go somewhere else. Enough money give one the ability the ability to say "f..k you." That ability, even when rarely uses it is incredibly satisfying. Almost finally, age and injury slows one down. Many times I partied until after day light. Now if I go past 2 am, I am useless for three days. Finally, boarding pets or finding a decent sitter is a true pain.

he was saying that the guy wouldn't even wear the suit if he didn't have to and he would still be richer than you'll ever be

Ask your friends what makes a person wealthy, or what do you think of when you think of wealthy people. Most people start stating material possessions like a Ferrari, mansion, yacht ect. Also most people think that people with a high income are wealthy. high income doesn't always equal wealth. It's about revenue and expenses.What people also don't realize is that those items are just expenses. People are who are rich need to live off of there saving and investments. It's a mindset that poor people don't understand.

As it looks bad when you show up in a Ferrari to work.

>As it looks bad when you show up in a Ferrari to work.
hmm.. i'd never considered that desu. i always figured having a ferrari means you're beyond the need to work anymore

BY 40's if you are well off you should have traveled to pretty much all euro capitals, usa both east and west, canada too, asia including singapore, hong kong, china big three, japan, taiwan and south korea.

if you ask any elderly people they all wish they would have traveled more. travelling is really astonishing it gives you constantly new ideas and experiences. you dont have to stay long at same place so basically if your'e european you could easily visit 5 completely different cities and cultures at one quick trip. hell, book every weekend one flight per city for example

>you should have traveled to pretty much all euro capitals
guess I missed out

did he earn his money or did he get it from his folks?
if he was raised rich then he may well just have no drive, no get up and go. a life of comfort challenges no one. if all his dreams are fulfilled then he has no more dreams to reach for.

or perhaps he is just depressed as he knows that life is meaningless.

The power of becoming who you truly are. You're dissociated in a way from society.

Had exactly the same question on my thread:

Not everybody likes travelling.

Missed out on all the mid east capitals too.

I hear conflict zone tourism is becoming a thing. This interests me

earned.

his parents died in a car crash when he was like 8 so I assume he had some money from their deaths or something

>tfw I'm trying to work a minimum wage jobs for months to get the money to invest into myself
>rich people do nothing

have you checked his bunker? what if he is secretly making preparations for a z apocalypse and he enjoys that? you'll never know what people have in their minds

If I was rich I probably wouldn't travel much either.

Peter Thiel has said of his venture capital firm, that he "never invests in a tech CEO wearing a suit" - which is strange, since he often is shown wearing suits.
Perhaps he means that he is looking for 'outliers' and the thinking that made him successful, is not necessarily the thinking that will make new rockstars successful.

Disruptive business models and game-changing products come from non-conformist outliers and oddballs that hack, steal, cheat, experiment, before having a vision.

...

I didn't get your point.
>bad things only happen abroad
>burgerlander detected

I get that some people don't like travel.
But anyone saying they would like to travel but are scared of X happening, is a fucking pussy who will probably die of something stupid like slipping in the shower or food poisoning. That's the tragedy to me.

Fucking live a little and stare death in the face if that's what it takes. If you're poorfag you can do better than most ever will by reading even a few self-defence books, taking a couple classes, practicing boxing, martial arts, or carrying whatever weapons, improvised or otherwise, you can. Learn precautions and take them. Don't be a weak target.

And if you're rich, you have the option of hotels with security, bodyguards, private security firms, bulletproof vest, cars, more protection than 99% of people will ever know.

Grew up as the "rich kid" in my area, I live in the "rich" area of my city.

All my friends would constantly go on holidays, but, in my 18 years I went on 3.

Who needs temporary happiness at some meme of a place when I live in a house better than any suite with my own servants already as well as the ability to purchase/hire expensive toys like jetskis, parachuting, cars and boats in the comfort of my own home.

that's my fucking dream m8

Maybe boring people are just the ones who are able to make bank.

Or maybe, people are just different.

I just wanna retire and do nothing but play vidya and build robots.

shit I want a chef too

travel is fucking garbage
ive only been to three continents but thats enough for me to know leaving america is fucking awful

Many rich people get off on the suffering of others. Maybe your friend did spend some money, bulldozing an orphanage or buying a hit piece on unionized workers that he thinks have too much.

>There are people so boring and uncurious they dont want to travel when they get rich and have lots of free time

I fucking hate travelling.

Travel can be interesting but also a hassle, desu senpai.

>his parents died in a car crash when he was like 8
this is an important piece of info if you are building a profile of someone. this makes him different from everyone else.

i'm not suggesting it explains the behaviour of being rich and staying at home, but it does offer an explanation as to why he sees the world differently.

Cause your buddy is a f....... cuck.
OR he already did, or is doing it and just not telling so as not to make you jealous.

Sounds like you're just a jealous cum swapping faggot op. Not all of us have the annoying need to fullfil bucket lists and "muh memories", enjoy having an addiction and no be able to find happiness within.

he is full of shit. i heard a podcast with him and all the platitudes are cringeworthy, all of his 'i've discovered what life is and everyone must be a better person.... after i became a trillionaire' is disgusting

sounds like he's living his life exactly how he wants to

>I didn't get your point.
But I got yours.
You seem to be under the mistaken impression that "traveling to all euro capitals" is the equivalent of being cultured.
Everyone I know travels, and none of them have done this.
Probably because they'd rather spend time in the cities they enjoy, rather than include the shit holes for the sake of coloring in all the squares on the map.
Life isn't a board game, user.

There are not many shitholes in europe. All capitals are pretty nice cities with lots to see desu

>There are not many shitholes in europe

>wow this Silicon Valley guy is wearing a t-shirt, so anticonformist!!!!!

Not wearing a suit is already the norm, does he think we're still in the 60s...?

In the tech world at least, wearing a suit makes you an outsider.

Wearing a suit is not about showing off your money. It's about dressing properly, respecting your peers, and self-restraint.

Wearing fashionable and tight-fitting casual clothes, on the other hand, is showing off (even more so since the saddening birth of "luxury casual" with $1000 branded sneakers, etc.).

>Wearing a suit is not about showing off your money. It's about dressing properly, respecting your peers, and self-restraint.

kek. 99% of people wear suits just so people will think that they are important

>Wearing fashionable and tight-fitting casual clothes, on the other hand, is showing off (even more so since the saddening birth of "luxury casual" with $1000 branded sneakers, etc.).

maybe... just maybe... the expensive designer stuff looks better sometimes because it's way more expensive

Or leads us to understanding what changed his world views

this.

Something I hope we all aspire to.

Did you get my point, or are you confusing me with another poster?
I'm not the guy who said you are uncultured or anything because you don't want to visit Europe,
I was responding to you posting photos of (?) I don't know what? Some dead guys? I don't even know what that photos from. I can tell you that the UK press has recently pretty much been covering a certain mass shooting, and I think you know where that is...
Protip: it's not in Europe.

My point, however, was aimed at those who won't travel because they are pussies scared of mostly non-existent threats, or think they will be robbed and raped by a swarm of migrants.

That's who I'm talking to.
Do it because you don't care for travel, but not out of fear of the unknown or some shit.
Just do a world tour once in your life to see a different way of life, somewhere you might prefer.

I agree that a lot of European cities are trading on past glory, Paris and Monaco mostly haven't been classy for decades and are overpriced.
Having said that, rural Croatia is beautiful, and Amsterdam is still my spiritual home even though I'm a britbong. It is clean, calm, peaceful, chilled, not too big, you can't get lost, you can cycle everywhere and leave your bike unlocked, and cops don't hassle you over bullshit. And of course, brothels and weed.

>99% of people wear suits just so people will think that they are important

Do you wear a suit for weddings or funerals to make people think you're important? Or just because it's proper attire?

Anyway, if you wore suits on a daily basis, you'd know no one is impressed by your suit. You could be a CEO as well as a small-timer doing a job interview. No one cares.

Thus a suit means nothing per se (except that you're not currently doing factory work). It's neutral.

>the expensive designer stuff looks better sometimes because it's way more expensive

Meh. It's way more expensive because the fashion company likes big profits.

>Paris and Monaco mostly haven't been classy for decades

I was going to answer something, then I saw:

>I'm a britbong

So your opinion is invalid.

I find traveling to be overrated unless I can speak the language. Why do I want to blow a lot of money going to Asia or Europe to hang out with people like me in hostels when I can just do that at home. When I traveled to France and South America I thoroughly enjoyed it because I speak French and Spanish and could actually immerse myself in the culture. If I didn't, I would mainly be doing it for instagram likes or whatever.

>Why do I want to blow a lot of money going to Asia or Europe

the thread was about what to do if you got the money. in general you get pretty good picture of one's background just asking how much they've been travelling in their lives.

what do wealthy people do when they retire and have the time? they travel mostly. what a waste would it be to stay in the same area or country your whole damn life.

rich NEETs is what we should all aspire to be

...

Going to prague next weekend. Cheap beer and medieval architecture

...

This, and you're not going to Europe or Asia only to fuck hoes and meet dudes to party with, you're going there to see amazing cities and nature you've never seen before. How could anyone not want to see every beautiful mountain range, city, medival town, canyon, river, glacier, mueseum, ancient ruin, wonder of the world, desert, and beach in the world?

Smh. Amd travelling is much much less stressful when you don't have to worry about money.

>Rich NEET
>Not enviable

most here would probably kill for that option - he obviously likes animals, likes to eat, and now he gets to enjoy those pleasures without ever having to work if he so chooses. He lives a simple life of satisfying his wants.

Travel for most people is to experience and see different things. Speaking the language is rarely necessary as the language and cultural barriers are part of that experience - realistically though I think most people travel to see something specific in person - eg. Grand Canyon, Mt. Fuji, the Eiffel Tower, or perhaps something less impressive but equally fascinating eg. the unusual way people live in favalas or the crippling poverty of central Africa and so on. It is impossible to speak every single language but that should not stop someone from visiting every part of the world to see what it has to offer.

Basically this
Actors dont "earn" their money. They basically won the lottery to just be an actor and get paid stupid high income

LOL if you believe that. the 0.01% of actors that make fucktons of cash had to put some wrinkly producers cock in their mouth

Not everyone likes to travel.

Saying you've "travelled" because you stayed two days in a city... well, it's a bit curious.

It's like saying you're a "lover" because you fuck a $300 escort each weekend.

Confusing you with another poster, this guy I don't have any problem with travel in Europe, I've been to several capitals there.
But I'm not going to suggest that "visiting all of them" is some sort of goal for wealthy types, the way that guy did.

That's what most rich people do. They sit on their cash, don't invest (and if they do it's on speculative shit like real estates, gold, stocks, etc, which doesn't result in job creation or give anything back to the economy) and all the while the economy dries up because they act like wrenches in the wheels.

>what most rich people do
>sit on their cash, don't invest
Wow, you have no idea what you're shitposting about.

You missed the part about those who do.

kys

'no'

>You missed the part about those who do.
>You didn't include anything about "those who do".
Go fuck yourself

I used to think the same but think about it. You get rich and do the travel thing for a couple of years, how long until you've been to the majority of interesting places and it gets old like most things. That's why you should never buy your dream car, you'll ruin it for yourself.

According to a UBS study, the average billionaire has 47% of his net worth in private equity (= his own businesses), and 19% in cash.

Check your eyes. Pic related.

Kek you must be kidding... Are you saying investing in stock market does not help the economy? It's literally most efficient money for the private sector. Only sector that matters for growth in long run. That's why the top 5% owns 80% isn't at all acting like "wrenches in the wheels". Actually their invested money is much better use as it would be if it was taxed and spread for government use.

And in general when people have more money to spend they spend it more wildly. Taxation, rising housing costs etc. reduce spending very efficiently

Just read this guy's post.
You don't know what you're talking about.

Yes, and that was the best retort you could muster?
Please, oh cultured one, don't spare the others your wisdom on my account!
Care to expand on your reasoning for discounting my opinion on either Paris or Monaco?
"I'm a britbong" tells you nothing about me,
And people who travel often, or are well-travelled,
Tend to understand, or come to realise, that most people are pretty much the same in most ways that matter.
Perhaps you haven't traveled much...

Actually, she doesn't know what she's talking about. It's part of the problem.

Cool.
And I agree, it certainly isn't.
I've stayed in many top hotels and eaten in fine restaurants in Paris and Monaco, but truth be told, I've had just as much fun, if not more, just bumming around Asia or Latin America, and your money lasts 10 times as long.

Most people "travel" by visiting hotels and generic tourist resorts, so it doesn't matter how much they were travelling in their lives.

Some people dislike travels and will often not pursue this activity. I met people who instead engage with the local community all their life.

Ok, dude.
You're the one claiming that people should have to spend their money in ways which
"result in job creation", otherwise, they're "wrenches in the wheels".
Why are you guys so butthurt about speculation?
It's not the evil boogeyman Sanders says it is, you know.

Keep in mind, most economists (like most anyone else) are in the tank politically for one side or the other. So, theories about economic inequality are just that, theories. They do, however, tend to be vigorously promoted as fact by those susceptible to their arguments.

"I'm a Britbong" says that you're prejudiced against France, and your opinion is so biased I won't discuss it.

However, I'd be curious to know what you call "classy" (more so than Paris and Monaco) and isn't coincidentally located on British clay.
