My biggest problem with a lot of these houses and set ups are that they're not meant to be lived in.

I have a client with a 5 million dollar house. The maid is the only one who goes into the majority of their rooms and they're usually locked so the kids can't go into them. All of that expensive furniture is very uncomfortable too.

If I had mansion wealth, real mansions, not McMansions, I would make the home as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, not eye candy

probably because that philosophy has prioritized the wealth of .1% of the population over the health of the rest of the economy. any half-objective capitalist can see that what is good for the bottom 90%, or even 99% of the population is ultimately what is best for everyone. the conspicuous consumption of the few cannot make up for the hardships of the many in a consumption-based economy.

Something is either good for the economy or it isnt. Its not about sub groups. Personally I think the capital gains tax being significantly lower than the top income tax is fucking bullshit. It props up the fags who are already rich and makes it harder for upper middle class skilled workers to get there. But at the same time, if it attracts foreign investment in america and helps the economy, then it should stay. The economy as a whole comes first and ill just have to deal with what seems really shitty from my perspective.

Meh. I've been to indoor house parties and swam in a couple of indoor pools. The whole room is usually incredibly steamy. Indoor pools should only be considered if you're living in cold climates. Otherwise its functionality is only there to be a braggart. The walls should only be a type of tile, otherwise the paint deteriorates from the moisture and constant repair is needed.

Exactly. Generally, the people I know that came into money try to spend it in as obvious a way as possible. The more money a person has, and the longer they've had it, the less they feel a need to show it off. I think your average millionaire drives a 40-50 thousand dollar car or something to that effect. The old maxim goes: Money talks, but wealth whispers.

That said, I'm going to dump a few pics of interiors that are pricey, but tasteful. Just shit I like. Feel free to ignore me.

I once went to a party at a NFL owners house. Most incredible thing I've ever seen. Indoor Olympic size swimming pool, indoor bball court, bowling alley, 100 inch TV's. Two maids cleaning up after all these drunk highschool students. Giant indoor movie theater with about 40 leather chairs all with cupholders, ottomans, blankets, and movies that weren't even out in the theaters yet. Also they had a 3d wallpapered bathroom and one of the maids drove a bunch of kids at 3 am to get snacks.

I mean I understand your point, but it is a combination of luck and extremely hard work to get to that point. Its not fair, but I don't think anyone resented the family for being billionares, but was just amazed at how much money they actually had. Plus they spend so much time with various charities that it is hard to say they don't deserve it.
Trying to think of what else the house had...
The maids house was on the grounds of the house and was the size of an upper-middle class place. The house was also in one of the wealthiest towns in the entire state, but was so isolated and the driveway probably took about 30 secs to drive down. I wish I had taken pictures but they had beautiful art and furniture in most of the rooms, and the more recreational rooms all had memorabilia signed by Lebron, Manning, Jordan, Tiger, Michael Phelps, just incredible. At the peak of the party there were probably about 75 people all hanging out comfortably in one room.

Yacht takes 30 people to build, house takes 30.

I ain't got pictures of this place, but this inspired me to try harder. My partner is a model, and sometimes she gets to do shoots in pretty nice places. I'm always happy to bring her there if I've the day off too.

One time, she was called to one of the city's wealthiest areas, situated on a hillside overlooking the city and the bay. We're talking stunning scenery surrounded by sweet woods and amazing privacy. I drive up, the guy's got the sportscar and the family SUV. The place was open, airy, exceedingly modern, but comfortable. He had tasteful oil paintings hanging, but also a 7 foot tall predator made of motorbike parts in a corner. The place had tablets embedded in the walls, from which you could control heating, lights, multimedia (through discreet speakers), and an array of other household things. The floors were quality tiling, but there were also comfortable rugs in living areas.

After the shoot, I got to take a proper look around. I found myself in the kitchen (incredible fit out) and I looked down through what I assumed to be an underfloor window to some ornament, and found myself over water. There was a motherfucking 25 meter pool in the basement, with plexiglass windows to the rest of the house. In other rooms nearby there was amps, drums, guitars, a keyboard, basically a band setup. There was a videogames room kitted out with projector, every console, amazing looking controls.

And they were nice people. I just thought, shiiiitt, this is possible. And so I focused on my career, 6 months later I'm on my way to 6 figures.

You can't spell deserve without serve.
To live like a king, you must be a king.
And kings don't serve anyone. Kings don't have the concept of "deserve". They take all that they want.

If you wish to be a subservient peasant, then keep the concept of deserve in your thoughts. That is who the word was for in Latin, the origin language of the word.

But if you wish to be a king, an alpha, you must discard such thoughts, because as an alpha, you can not be a beta. And deserve is only for betas.

In all seriousness, the above is true. Every social animal has a "pecking order", the stronger animal being higher in the order. Nature gave us a way to judge strength just by looking, without actually having to fight to figure out who is stronger, because nature knows fighting is costly and doesn't want us killing or hurting ourselves unnecessarily.

So most people naturally default to being subservient, which is why the word / concept of "deserve" is so prevalent.

The definition of it is "to be worthy of reward"... worthy to whom? Who decides? The alpha, the king.

This is why you hear that a lot of top executives have narcissistic "personality disorders". Which is true, if you consider that the majority of people are subservient, having an alpha personality is a "disorder". But it is just as nature intends it to be.

You know how lion packs work? The male, alpha lion sends his bitches to kill prey and bring it back to him. They do all the work, then he eats his fill. After that, the others eat. Is it fair? I don't know, I'm not a lion. But nature says that's the best way and she's a pretty smart broad.
