Lifestyle of the rich and famous

A natural disaster does not discriminate - it does not care if you are rich or poor. And in this case, a weathy person with the best of "things" has much to lose in such a flood. I can understand wanting a "collection" - to each their own when it comes to interests - but yah, I could think of better ways to make use of excess money!

The rich will probably be "shocked " to discover that when they die - all of their treasures will be left behind for someone else to enjoy. If I happened to be rich, I would help as many as I could , while maintaining a decent lifestyle.

Very philosophical question. I guess material things make them looked rich but I believe that he can be appreciated more if he knows how to share some of his wealth to many who needs help.

I hope these rich people can help the poor with their extra money. It would make more sense.

I can't understand this either but I guess the collections of the rich differ only in their value from the collections of the not-so-rich.

It's the way some people flaunt their richness. But in the eyes of God, each and every person is equal. Natural calamities prove it right that nothing beyond God

Nobody buys a Montblanc pen for himself, it is the kind of gift that people are receiving as a birthday present or when they retire, and most of the time it will stay in the gift box and will be never used, there is a lot of time that I have not seen somebody having a gold Montblanc pen, people are more focused on the last iPhone today. You see still some expensive watches though, it is used as a differentiation sign at a time where everybody wears the same clothes in the streets, and that suits and ties are only for bank employees, drivers and caretakers in everyday life. Having a lot of cars does not tell if somebody is rich. It may be only somebody collecting cars. I have a friend having about 40 English cars, he is not that rich. Most of the time here, only new richs drive luxury cars ; or your hairdresser : as a car seller told me, everybody can own a Ferrari or a BMW, the problem is just to find a way to get a loan for it ; people born rich are buying small cars and are not showing that they are rich. I met a few billionaires born billionaires, and all of them were very simple people not showing off. It is good for movie stars and owners of startups, who will perhaps end their life as poor as they were born.

When someone gets bored they start to invest their money in something new regardless if there is any use for him in doing so. So, the fact that some people buy expensive watches and pens is just proof of that.
