"Maybe rich people should build weird fountains, again."
"The Wasserspiele of Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe are 300 years old, powered entirely by gravity, and entertaining tourists. As legacies for rich people go, there are far worse ones."
Been saying this for years. Todays rich people are fucking bad at being rich. It's truly a skill issue.
Farting sounds=worth it.
Kassel is insanely underrated
I'm equally pissed off that we get billionaire tech mogul taking over the government but he doesn't even have a volcano island populated with goons or a giant skull base.
- that we're aware of...
plus - Epstein's isle.
That's what the rich used to do.
Look at stuff like Chippendale furniture, or those pineapple newel posts. Once upon a time those were hand carved. Not only would they be made from exotic wood, but you had to pay a craftsman to waste his entire life doing that shit.
Rich people pay me lots of money to reupholster their ugly, boring-ass beigey-grey furniture to make it look..... same ol' boring beigey-grey. Then they display it In their giant beige house.
Makes me want to fucking scream. Rich boomers have absolutely no fucking taste.
I was always a fan of that crimson faux leather and velvet they put in cars in the 80's. When I strike it rich you can upholster me awful red furniture. It gonna be gaudy AF.
It was the contrast. "Oh look, a boring old 80's sedan in white". *Opens the door, gets slapped in the face with redness *. I love that shit and it needs to come back
Gaudy is fun af! I'd absolutely do it!
This would be the issue if I were rich, I'd want to spend so much money supporting people that I'd probably no longer be rich.
I still have parts of my business doing luxury real estate photo and videography. They ALL have the same shit. They all have the same heavy black anodised metal door leading into the living room, the qooker tap, the green egg BBQ (that they probably never use) and the Sonos/B&O sound system. They all have the same "art" or close enough, same cars, etc etc. They're definitely going through a checklist of "this thing is expensive and popular among my peers, I shall have it at any cost!".
Fun fact, the grand prize for the largest privately owned house in the US [still] goes to George Washington Vanderbilt II, who commissioned construction of the Biltmore Estate in 1889.
At 178,926 sqft. (16,622.8 m2), it is only slightly smaller than the average Walmart Supercenter.
So what you're saying is that I'm doing better than he is because I'm living in the back of a Walmart.
lol, I can almost guarantee they were watching this video lmao https://youtu.be/n5x7GLl-mMo
My billionaire ex’s family loved truffle oil on shit at restaurants. Rich does not equal taste at all.
They still do shit like this. They make the crafts people sign NDAs so they can't talk about their work.
Id uninstall people from outside.server for an elite class that actually spent opulently on the artisan class.
If I was rich I'd I'd try my hardest so nobody goes hungry ever
This is where both traveling outside your own village and generational wealth come into play.
