1. "Private aerial charter. I erstwhile saw a pistillate alert herself and her canine up to Aspen, Colorado, due to the fact that she liked the groomer there. The canine groomer ended up being retired sick erstwhile the pistillate arrived. She past flew location empty-handed and flew backmost a fewer days aboriginal erstwhile the canine groomer was available. All said and done, she spent astir $75,000 connected a backstage pitchy to alert her and her canine retired to Aspen and backmost doubly truthful she could get the idiosyncratic she wanted to bathe her dog."

She bragged that she utilized his recognition paper for everything. She had armloads of apparel and purses. The adjacent day, we recovered a terms tag for 1 of her purses successful the airplane: implicit $10,000."
8. "I worked a $3 cardinal wedding. My in-laws ain the premier florist successful town. The angiosperm fund was $250k. They blew that retired of the water. I deliberation it ended up being much than $480k. The wedding was connected the bride's father's land. An full conception of onshore (600+ acres) with 3 houses, 2 churches, a barn, and a backstage polo field. The damn equine stalls were nicer than my archetypal apartment. By barn, I mean an Amish-built barn that the feline recovered successful New York state. He had it dismantled, reassembled connected his land, and turned it into an apartment. I had to determination a coating from the mantle for decorating. They told maine AFTER that it was worthy $1.5 million."
"The structure for the wedding could person held 2 of Barnum and Bailey's 3 rings. Everything was implicit the top. But, talking to the father, helium was an exceptionally bully antheral and you would ne'er cognize helium was rich."
17. "I worked arsenic a idiosyncratic adjunct for a affluent feline for 3 months once. I don't cognize however overmuch helium was worth, but it was decidedly successful the tens of millions of dollars. His location was worthy $5 cardinal alone, and I cognize helium owned a batch of different properties astir the country/world. He inherited astir of his wealth and dealt successful existent estate. And fto maine archer you, this feline was pathetic. He had nary friends. He someway had a woman whom helium intelligibly hated, and helium told maine helium was going to interruption up with her due to the fact that helium was paranoid she lone wanted him for his money. He owned a truly costly breed of canine that helium took everyplace with him, but didn't fuss to really bid her, truthful she was intolerable to power and perpetually stressed out."
"He was successful his precocious 50s and lived successful a multimillion-dollar location but had not bothered to decorate, furnish, oregon adjacent cleanable it. He had aggregate surviving rooms that contained a ample TV and 1 La-Z-Boy chair, and that was it. His impermanent bedrooms had a mattress connected the floor, and thing else. There was zero creation oregon decoration hung up anyplace successful the full house. There was canine fur everywhere, soiled dishes and take-out containers each implicit the descend and counter, and it was evident he'd ne'er erstwhile dusted oregon swept.
I besides learned that helium had 2 siblings, 1 of whom helium was estranged from entirely. The different had precocious died, and portion sorting done his papers and doing immoderate net research, I learned that helium had sued his member for full power of immoderate of their associated properties portion his member was actively dying from cancer.
The guy's property was besides conscionable gross. He was specified an asshole. He intelligibly thought highly extremely of himself and looked down connected others adjacent though it was wide to maine that helium was utterly helpless connected his ain and didn't cognize however to bash thing too nonstop his lawyers to writer anyone who looked astatine him incorrect and suck wealth from his galore tenets. He was intolerable to person a speech with. He would ne'er see idiosyncratic else's constituent of presumption and would conscionable speech down to you oregon usage his size to intimidate (he is physically a precise large man, which made his fragile ego each the much pathetic).
He besides smelled similar implicit shit. His enactment smelled, and helium had atrocious BO. I don't cognize if helium really bathed himself regularly.
I lone knew this feline for 3 months 5 years ago, but I could spell connected and connected astir however genuinely atrocious of a quality being helium is. He was perpetually aggravated and miserable, adjacent though helium had much than capable wealth to unbend and beryllium content. He truly solidified successful maine the thought that wealth can't bargain happiness. Or much like, wealth won't capable that empty, rotten spread wrong your soul."
19. "The bulk of my clients person $5+ cardinal homes. One of my richest clients, who astir apt has astir $100 cardinal successful existent estate, refuses to person astute oregon electrical thermostats successful his home. He doesn't privation the hassle of batteries, powerfulness outages, resetting settings, things similar that. So you locomotion into a big, beauteous location connected the water, and the aged mercury dial thermostat keeps the location astatine 70°F. He's self-made, walks astir erstwhile assistance is there, and hands retired $100 bills to each the workers. He's a genuinely large person; his woman and kids are also. Other clients are little hospitable, and my invoices bespeak it."
23. "About 20 years ago, I was the idiosyncratic assistant/nanny for a billionaire household successful SoCal. At first, they were specified beauteous people, but slowly, each of their dysfunction overtook the blessed veneer. The hubby spent astir each of his clip distant and hardly checked successful with his family. The woman was the epitome of the bored, neglected affluent 2nd woman who ignored her lone kid successful backstage but pretended to beryllium Mother of the Year successful public. She would instrumentality 1 yoga people a time and be 1 precocious nine function, and past walk the remainder of the time bemoaning however hard and stressful her beingness was. The kid was neglected, unloved, and acted retired constantly. He reminded maine of 1 of the kids from Russian orphanages who weren’t held arsenic babies and grew up not being capable to signifier attachments to different quality beings. He fundamentally lived unsocial successful this mansion with lone me, the cook, the housemaid, and his mother, who hardly adjacent spoke to him and who I ne'er saw hug him, overmuch little play with him."
"I fundamentally drove him to school, and to each the activities helium didn't privation to do, but kept him retired of her way, helped him bash his homework, and tucked him successful astatine night. He hated maine nary substance however I tried to enslaved with him, which I could recognize due to the fact that each helium needed was his parents' emotion and attention, and didn't privation maine arsenic a replacement.
I ended up getting fired aft the holidays due to the fact that I was tasked with readying their Christmas vacation, and aft a period of aggravated readying — booking a backstage villa, organizing their backstage jet, getting the house-staff astatine the location, ordering each the indispensable food, and getting each the activities planned — woman decided 2 days retired that she nary longer wanted to spell to that location, but to a backstage land instead. When I informed her of the deficiency of availability astatine the caller destination and the outgo of mislaid deposits, and provided her with a database of options to take from, she blamed maine for ruining their holidays due to the fact that I should person anticipated and planned a backup astatine the nonstop determination she wanted that she had ne'er antecedently mentioned.
I was truthful blessed to person been fired from that mausoleum of affluent malaise and despair. Honestly, I've sadly enjoyed speechmaking the quality implicit the years of the hubby moving connected to his 4th and present 5th overmuch younger wives, getting caught up successful ineligible play for corruption. The ex-wife disappeared into obscurity erstwhile divorced from her spot successful precocious society.
Unfortunately, I've seen the kid's societal media and he's turned retired to beryllium different uber affluent soulless douchebag. He volition astir apt conscionable play retired his father's beingness bushed by bushed successful an effort to everlastingly effort and gain his attention, love, and respect."
