Those who cannot yet afford to order all these services should pay attention to.
Our project is designed to tell you, dear reader, about absolutely different hobbies and entertainment of all kinds. categories and directions. Today we’ll talk about hobbies for rich and wealthy individuals, which perhaps you, in the near future, can become! After all, in reality, there are no restrictions! (or rather, they exist, but only in our heads...)
1. Yachting
Ships are not cheap items to purchase. There are many other miscellaneous costs beyond purchasing the boat itself, including incredibly expensive insurance, taxes, various fees and charges, and maintenance on the yacht itself. As a rule, all costs for a vessel for a year are approximately 10% of the cost of the entire yacht. The starting price for luxury yachts today is approximately $1,000,000. You should also not forget about obtaining special licenses and maritime rights, which also cost a lot of money.
2. Horseback riding
There is no need to acquire horses for regular riding, but for many truly wealthy people, horses are not just an opportunity to ride... Rich people around the world spend enormous fortunes on buying thoroughbred horses and maintaining them. Skating lessons and equipment will cost you hundreds of dollars.
Today, one non-pedigreed horse will cost you at least $2,000, and you will need more than $10,000 to buy a horse in perfect health and all the necessary documents (and this is still one non-pedigree horse). Self-care for one horse will cost at least $2,000 - $3,200 monthly + you will need a large space (stable) equipped with everything necessary to house your pet(s).
It is noteworthy that the most elite thoroughbred horses today can cost up to $200,000,000!
3. Collecting
It's no secret that a hobby today is no longer just a hobby or hobby. For many people who have a substantial collection of anything, collecting is their whole life.
This field can be called a full-fledged business for many enterprising individuals. Many people earn hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars from the sale of their collections, which have been multiplied and replenished throughout their lives.
Since in our time it is customary to make money on everything, today we can safely highlight a whole line of business related to the paid assessment of collections before selling them.
4. Cars
Cars are the very thing that can easily and reliably win the heart of absolutely any person. Naturally, rich people are no exception!
As a rule, here we need to talk about collecting different cars. But even the collection in this case will cost a lot of money. Here you will have to splurge not only on the purchase of the car itself (the cost will be quite significant, because rich people, as a rule, include the most expensive and exclusive cars in the world in their collections).
A huge amount of money will be spent on taxes (including luxury tax), as well as on restoration and (if we are talking about classics). Quite a lot of money will be needed to maintain the auto repair shop itself and the showroom.
5. Golf
It's no secret - golf is a game for rich people. There are millions of fans of this sport all over the world, and they are sometimes literally ready to cry because of the prices to at least occasionally play the game they love so much.
Membership in one of the golf clubs today can cost a couple of hundred dollars a month, the same couple of hundred dollars a month will be spent on learning the game. Don't forget about purchasing expensive equipment. Let us also note the fact that renting equipment and time spent on the playing field are also very, very expensive.
High prices are due to the very expensive maintenance of the golf club and the updating of all necessary equipment, including expensive golf carts.
In conclusion, we suggest watching a very interesting video on the topic of this article! Enjoy watching, friends!

A company that promises good weather for a $100,000 wedding
No matter how carefully a couple plans every detail of their wedding, the weather is something that cannot be predicted. At least that's how it was until now. Luxury travel company Oliver's Travels offers wealthy clients a "Perfect Wedding Day" package that promises weather control for just $100,000. The company employs a team of professional meteorologists and pilots who fly planes above the clouds and spray them with silver iodide. This substance causes clouds to break apart and disperse.
Cloud scattering was invented in the late 1940s. This technique was used during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing to avoid rain during the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games. This method was also used on the wedding day of Prince William and Duchess Kate in 2012.
Uber offers helicopter flights to avoid Sao Paulo's terrible traffic jams
An app-based taxi ordering service has brought joy to Sao Paulo residents frustrated by terrible traffic jams on the city's roads by offering them helicopter rides. Uber decided to try this pilot project for a month and began flying its customers by helicopter between airports, hotels and convention centers in June.
Air taxis are still the preserve of the rich, but Uber is hoping to change that. Promotional prices start at $19 per seat for travel from Helicentro Morumbi in one of Sao Paulo's wealthiest neighborhoods to the Blue Tree Hotel across the river. The distance is approximately 6 km by air. This is the cheapest service in this list, but still being able to fly to the party by helicopter is pretty cool.
Counselor who offers psychotherapy to the rich
Meet Clay Cockrell. He used to work on Wall Street, but is now a psychotherapist in Manhattan. What does he specialize in? Of course, on the problems of very rich people! In an interview with The Guardian, he said: “We're all taught to be empathetic, not to judge, and so many rich people feel their problems aren't real problems. But they are real. Many psychotherapists do not give due importance to these problems.”
Basically, American pop culture teaches the masses that it is okay to hate people, especially if they are rich. In addition, wealthy people are often isolated and have difficulty forming close relationships. They go through the same difficulties as ordinary people, such as grieving the loss of a loved one or being sad because of a failed relationship, but poor people often brush off the difficulties when it comes to a rich person.
A man who charges from 2.5 to 80 thousand dollars to decorate your tree
Bob Pranga is a Christmas tree stylist. He is a great professional in this matter. While he was working part-time at Macy's during the Christmas holidays about 30 years ago, he was approached by a famous actress asking him to find someone to decorate her Christmas tree. And he took on this work.
Pranga and his business partner Debi Staron opened Dr. Christmas in 1984. One of the first clients was Kathy Hilton, an American actress, designer and philanthropist. She introduced Prang to the elite in Los Angeles. Since then, he has decorated the homes of Hollywood stars for the holidays, including Christie Alley, Kate Hudson, Christina Aguilera, Mark Wahlberg and Barbra Streisand.
His services cost from 2.5 to 80 thousand dollars. He starts work with a half-hour consultation to decide on the style, budget and time frame. “I offer what I call the Honda, Lexus and Rolls Royce packages,” says the stylist.
Another advantage is that the company takes on the dismantling of decorations and works not only with stars, but also with ordinary and corporate clients.
The woman who, for $1,000, will pack your children's belongings for summer camp.
If you are a wealthy and prepared parent, you probably send your children to an exclusive summer camp. But what do you do when camp administrators send you a list of things to bring and you simply don't have time to pack it all into your child's suitcase? You call a professional - Barbara Reich.
Barbara is a professional personal tidying consultant. In the past few years, she and other decluttering professionals have discovered that there is a demand for rich kids to attend summer camps. Two years ago she had one such order, last year she had five, and this year she already had ten, although the season has not yet ended. Some clients even ask that she recreate the child's room so that he can feel at home at camp. Reich charges $250 per hour, but one child's fees help her earn $1,000. For many clients, it's worth it.
The $53 Million Company Will Build a Panoramic Roof on Your Private Jet
If you can't get a window seat on your flight, chances are you're missing out on the thrill of air travel. With numb limbs, tired, irritated, you are flying through the air at a speed of 1000 km/h in a metal tube thousands of meters above the ground. If anything reminds you of this, it's the panoramic roof that you can install if you have a private jet and a lot of money.
That's the idea behind Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer's Airship Kyoto design. The company introduced this concept in 2015 and is ready to accept orders. Customers purchasing the $53 million Embraer Lineage 1000E can request clear windows around the cabin to give passengers unparalleled views.
The company claims that these windows are fairly easy to install, requiring just a few extra holes to be cut into the fuselage. Windows are an additional load that can affect engine efficiency, but this is the concern of the manufacturer, not wealthy buyers.
An application for dating some millionaires with others
Jokingly called the Tinder for rich guys, Luxy is one of the few apps aimed specifically at the elite. The application is widely used by businessmen, investors, celebrities, models and artists. In it you can scroll through profiles and communicate with other users who seem interesting to you.

In addition to all this, in the application you can select the Black service, which has many additional options, which help you get more accurate search results (for example, filter by income).
Simply put, this is an application for allowing some millionaires to meet others. Of course, this is a great way to spend time and communicate with people with similar tastes and incomes. Subscriptions to the app start at $12.99 per month, but only users with an annual income of more than $200,000 receive profile verification.

“Bum tour” is an expensive entertainment for the rich, which changes their life, turning them into a tramp.
The organizers of the “homeless tour” assure that after such a newfangled leisure time, all the troubles in life disappear as if by hand—everything falls into place in your head.
In addition to “homeless tours,” Ukraine organizes trips to China to ride tanks, and to Japan to take geisha courses. All this is part of a newfangled direction in tourism - creative. Psychotechnologist Vladimir Nefedov is one of the first to create such leisure time for Ukrainians.
“I remember the very first client, who at the end of the “homeless tour” wanted to shoot us all. He had already taken part in “tours,” but in Russia. They mostly do staged provocations. And we have a script as close as possible to natural events. There is nowhere to wait for help, no one to rely on.
At all if the client has a desire to kill us, then we have fulfilled his order well"According to the psychotechnologist, throughout the game the client is discreetly monitored by security - for his own safety.
Vladimir Nefedov says that after the game a person begins to reassess his values, he usually goes on vacation to sort out his life, and some succeed. “One large businessman, whose name I have no right to name, after the tour became a major politician and entered the BYuT.
And another no less famous businessman, trying on the role of a homeless person, soon launched several social projects. He even told me later that he began to invest less money in the business itself in order to more money was for these social programs. Another public husband could not reconcile with his wife for a long time, otherwise she kept trying to sue him for his property. After the tour they made peace. The player stopped suing her, his wife appreciated the changes in his attitude."
The essence of "homeless tours" is create conditions in which a person could discover, experience, understand something. There is an opinion that David Fincher's film "The Game" is based on the working methods of a mysterious structure that organizes real "homeless tours" with headquarters in London. “Clochar tours,” as they are also called in the West, are wildly popular among the powers that be. People who have everything are trying to pull themselves out of the swamp of wealth and prosperity.
In Ukraine, “homeless tours” appeared about 10 years ago. Psychotechnologists organize a trip so that the customer has to face his fears, complexes, stereotypes, ghosts of the past and his “rake”. To do this, a psychologist first talks with the client. The secrets of the customer's name are strictly maintained, because the tests require experiences at the limit of one's capabilities, and the feelings of the tourist are deeply intimate. The game lasts from 2 hours to 5 days, depending on the wishes of the customer and costs from $750 to $100,000
