Memorable Rich People Who Acted Incredibly Strange
The upper class rich people of the world really do live on another planet. Sometimes literally (at least if they have anything to do with it!). Here are some true stories of ridiculously wealthy people who acted in the strangest ways possible, all because they had the money to do so.
Possibly the Same Wine List With Higher Prices
My friend’s dad got a summer tennis membership at this fancy club because his kid played on the club’s traveling team (Jrs. Could play for basically nothing).
He got invited to play poker with the guys on a random Wednesday and they sat down and decided to order some wine. The waiter hands the list over to to one of the old guys and the guy says “no, show us the real wine list…”
Sure enough, there was a very bougie version that was by special request. Every since my friend told me that story, I have always wondered what special privileges exist for these ppl if you know to ask. Story Credit : Reddit / TNI92
Behind the Bentley
I was at a rich guy’s house to service his not one but TWO generators. I roll up to the call box to let him know I was there. He buzzes me in.
On the way down his cobblestone driveway I pass by his garage. This garage was unique in that it had a basketball and tennis court on top of it. Upon closer inspection I saw that it was basically a mini parking garage. The dude had thirteen cars in it.
A Chevy Suburban, Mini Cooper, Subaru Outback, and other grocery getters. On the SECOND LEVEL DOWN were two town cars: a Bentley and a Rolls Royce. Off to the side were a Bentley and a Lincoln stretch limo. This guy took me through four mechanical rooms to get to his generators.
We go back up to where my truck is parked. While wearing sandals and a Rolling Stones t-shirt he points to the right and says something I’ll never forget. “If you need to use the bathroom it’s behind the Bentley.” Most nonchalant thing I’ve heard. Story Credit : Reddit / leatherrecliner
Checking Your Blind Spots
This guy cutting me of on the street, ramming the right side of my car. We got out of the car and this guy just handed me a 6500€ check without discussing. The damage he caused was only 200€. Darn. Story Credit : Reddit / RegularGermanDude
Nothing Worse Than a Rattling Chandelier
A client we had years ago told us that he downgraded his private 747 to a 737 because he didn’t like the way the chandeliers rattled on take off. Story Credit : Reddit / chelsea9898
