People Are Revealing The Luxury Habits Of The 1% That The Average Person Has Never Heard Of, And It Has Me Questioning If We're Even Living On The Same Planet

I'm an LA-based trending news writer covering style, politics, and internet culture.

"The dog now lives with her and her fiancé. All she has to do is Zoom with an attorney every three months to show the dog is alive, and she gets $9k for the next three months. The house was resold, and she still cleans the house."

"I did not know this was a thing until my mom told me she had to work all night once because one of her clients was kidnapped overseas. I did not think she was serious at first. Absolutely wild to me."

"1) Invite-only luxury travel collections, like exclusive resorts. Think of it like a country club, but for travel. You pay a membership fee upfront (packages range between $100k - $250k). Once you are a member, you have access to a huge network of ultra-luxury rental properties around the world with basically guaranteed availability.

2) Want a penthouse apartment in Monaco for the Formula 1 weekend? Ski-in chalet in Aspen over Christmas and New Year's week? Luxury apartment near the Super Bowl or World Cup Final? Your personal travel concierge will take care of that.

3) Expeditions that can fly you on a private jet to an ice runway at their camp in Antarctica, and then (optionally) onwards to the South Pole. Starts around $110k per person.

4) You can charter a luxury polar expedition ship for about $2-$5M for a 10-day expedition around Svalbard or Antarctica.

5) Other services are things like traveling nannies for your kids.

6) Also, helicopter charter on-demand. Own a mega yacht with a helipad, but don't want the hassle of helicopter ownership? However, you do want full helicopter service on your yacht just for the 3-5 times a year that you are on it? There are companies that will match you up with a helicopter/pilot/crew on a daily/weekly/monthly basis."

"The family office one is really interesting. I'm an attorney and occasionally come across individuals like this. It's like having your own personal attorney, accountant, financial advisor, administrative assistant, property manager, etc., on staff to handle anything that may come up in your life. Granted, a lot of a wealthy person's personal affairs may be more complicated, to the point of needing professional guidance, but being able to just offload any of these things to someone and have them taken care of immediately is like royalty-level living."

"I had a neighbor who was a house manager for some fashion mogul or something, and their job was to coordinate all other staff, handle deliveries, manage kids' schedules, etc. When someone says rich people have the same 24 hours in a day... nope, they hire people to save time."

"Local lodges cleared out rooms for travelers stuck. My father-in-law decides to give up his room and just use his camping gear in the bush. He was supposed to work for this rich guy the following day, but obviously, he couldn't make it in, so he gave him a call telling him the situation."
