Actual rich guy thread

[Anonymous No.53807608]

Any actual whales who live the whale life on this board?

I've never held a job in my entire life and I started collecting museum-grade antiques at 20 years old. Bought a cabinet from the Rothschild mansion at Christies auctions when my friends were buying tacky PC's with RGB lights.

For me it's very easy to tell zoomer money and old money apart. Rich zoomers got suddenly rich overnight with something like cryptos so they have no idea what to do with money, because it's so new to them. Buying antiques and art from auction houses is what real rich bois do. I naturally gravitated towards buying 500k tables when I realized I had to buy furniture anyway, and I hated the idea of buying mass-produced crap. I wanted my furniture to be one part of my investments. That's when I realized there's an entire secret world where millionaires fight tooth and nail over signed pieces of French furniture. To a young layperson with no acquired taste, this may look like "old tacky shit", but there's a reason why you don't see millionaires shopping at IKEA. Money or not, being rich is a personality type.

Asmongold is a perfect representation of young money. He didn't want to get rich, he didn't try to get rich, and he doesn't know how to be rich. The Internet made a lot of undeserving people rich on a fluke.

For my whole life I've wondered why people with an untrained eye think the best pieces of furniture in the world look ugly.
In the 1800s, this stuff looked awesome because of the sheer quality of the craftsmanship and materials. It was really hard to produce something that's ornate and gilded. You couldn't use 3d printers to create complex shapes fast.
I think the modern person is so used to seeing cheap kitsch knockoffs of the real thing that they've started to perceive anything lush / ornate as kitsch. Which is a very interesting phenomenon. I think a lot of our furniture is just black and white boxes because of this phenomenon.

Here's an amazing American pool table from 100 years ago. Very nice inlays overall. It was handmade and probably took months and a team of people working on it. Today you could just use a CNC machine to do it in a matter of hours, and the modern person automatically assumes that's how it was made so there's no inherent respect for the work.

TL;DR: Poorfag issue

I made crappy money, then wrote a simple auto submitter and I made $400 a day by uploading links on tv-shack 6 hours before the burgers woke up. Hence my links were always at the top. Other sites paid in BTC. Never really worked. Anyway your field looks quite intresting to be honest.

Not a richfag, but I really like antique furniture. It often has a really good quality and I know where to buy it cheap (there is a store in my city that offers "cleaning" the flat when someone old dies. This happens when old people die without close family/or family simply doesn't care. They take all the valuable stuff they find and sell them for cheap, including furniture from the pre-war area). It also looks A LOT better than Ikea shit, at least if you take some care of it (pic related is the desk I got). I also got some nice paitings from the pre-war area cheaply (not worth more than 300€ each, but I still really like them they look better in my opinion than all the modern shit).

Same what you wrote somewhat applies to clothing btw. No old money richfag I know would ever buy crap like Gucci or fast fashion like H&M plastic. They look for good quality and durability without getting scammed by nigger brands. Many have e.g. their own tailors for this purpose.

Woah, you bought expensive tables when you're young. Most people only buy that stuff when they're old LOL! I appreciate how superior you are because old furniture is really sophisticated, new things are not. Now I hate new things, I like old things because other people who like old things also like them and people my age like new things which I now understand are not classy or cool. Damn I don't want a car I want a table! Or maybe an old car LOL! But not an old car that young people have an old car that old people have! Being rich and young but doing stuff that old people do is awesome, do you have any old spoons or forks that would be awesome!!! God I wish I didn't buy a new watch with my money, wish I could have got a watch that some guy wore 200 years ago so that all the other people at the auction realised that I like old things and that I am like the queen of england and the rothschilds lol. Thanks for your post, I really enjoyed it and wanted to let you know that you are really sophisticated and classy and totally different to all the other boys. Enjoy your table, it looks marvellous and I bet you are so happy you didn't buy a Ferrari or everyone would be like WHY DIDN'T THAT GUY BUY A NICE OLD TABLE THE IDIOT. Thanks again, bye.

At least you seem to understand that these things took a lot of effort to make.
When looking at antique furniture, you always have to keep in mind that somebody made these by hand in a shed with no electricity or modern tools whatsoever. The fact that picrel was made without power tools blows my mind, and goes on my list of humanity's alltime greatest achievements. The fun part is that 2023 people couldn't reproduce this with all their 3d printers and CNC machines. We've lost the skill to build something like this. I've seen reproductions of this bed and they all look like garbage compared to the original.

>>53807787
Yes, the number one thing that makes antiques objectively good is that they're the highest quality furniture you can get. They were well made and they last forever basically. Give them a new coat of lacquer and they're good for another 50 years. If you want quality, you go for 100-year-old French furniture. Humans have never built better furniture. Proof of this is that we're still using them, but I don't think anyone will have our IKEA tables 100 years from now.

It's easy to tell that you're larping.

>you don't see millionaires shopping at IKEA
You see them shop at IKEA all the time. Millionaires are frugal, usually to the point of being extreme cheapskates. They aren't letting their retarded children eat at their million dollar table, which they consider a work of art.

That's another thing, they don't go 'yo bros this old ass expensive furniture is where it's at!,' they usually get into collecting in a narrow field, they will ony look at certain pieces from one or a handful of makers. They consider it art, so they don't call it an 'old desk,' or 'antique lamp,' they'll say 'I have a [maker][style][attribute][year].' They'll assume you know that it's furniture and what kind.

If you ever meet a collector with an extremely valuable collection, they aren't going to tell you that old shit is all super great.They'll be able to justify each piece in their own collection, because they have great taste, but the other guy that spent a million dollars on a table is a fool.

Also you can hardly get a whole home furnished in the same style of furniture if you only look at vintage items. Not to mention even the same styles have different eras and look different. Early and late art noveu look very different. Imagine if you have to match everything you have to one style. Maybe you can if you are a billionaire and hire someone to hunt down furniture that match at every auction possible and will still take 1+ year. Some people put vctorian era cabinet next to art deco furniture and it looks terrible. Unironically the easiest way to show you are just dumb ape that want to pretend to be sophisticated.
>>53809831
roman era nails suffer from bad material problem. But if you take 300 year old nails they are better than modern nails. Modern nails are actually pretty dumb because they are round they actually do bad job holding things together. Classic nails were wedge shaped they were also forged and the way they were made ensured they will probably never rust because their surface was similar to case hardening that early guns used. There were also rules how to nail the wedge shaped nails to the grain of the wood so you don't just split the wood.

Things in the past were expensive because they were almost completely hand made. Because they were expensive they were made to last. When you buy furniture from IKEA it is made to last at most 10 years. If it last more it is actually badly designed because it outlasted the time IKEA planed for you to buy a new one. Hand crafted nail is better than new mass produced one because nails were actually expensive in the past and no one will buy nails from you if your nails are not good. The furniture made with said nails is also better because if the nails are expensive you will not use 30 nails for something like one drawer. So if you put nail you put it on only when there is no other option and you make the joints to fit together and hold the whole thing with minimal nails. If you see a straight dovel like on my photo that is commonly used today on old furniture chances are this was something made by apprentice carpenter and he got a lot scrutiny for it. Same with things like leather. You can get great leather shoes today, probably better than ones made 100 years ago but they cost 1000$. Same with glassworks, same with everything. The difference is today you can get good quality stuff if you know what you are looking for at fair prices. Maybe they will not be collectable in the future but they will serve you right for many years.

There is nothing wrong with particle boards if it is well insulated and with sufficient density of middle layer (IKEA is bad with this).

Only a profoundly sick, judaically poisoned society would consider "labor = value" a meme. And indeed, shitcoins are a perfect embodiement of this talmudic sickness where everything is centered around limitless speculation. Everything in jewry is centered around their speculative mind, and not only financially, but in the domains of science, politics, philosophy, laws.. everything is nothing but speculations, as far as their demented mind can go.
That's why they stay as far away as possible from producing/manufacturing tangible goods, where the limitations of nature and fundamental laws of physics are curbing their speculative enthusiam, and thus require efforts you CANT escape.
Meanwhile, in finance, the only limit isn't even the sky, but their ability to sell lies and mirages, which is much higher than the sky.
