It started with platform user InfiniteMirrorss inviting people to share what they believe to be the things the super-wealthy do that the average person doesn’t even consider. Immediately, thousands started to send in their answers. Here are some of the most popular ones.

“I’ve been working on my pilot license and was talking about doing a cross-country flight where we’d stop somewhere far away and get dinner, then head back,” they explained its origins to Bored Panda.
“In the aviation community it’s called the ‘$100 hamburger’ because flight time is so expensive and it had me thinking about ultra-high-net-worth people and how that might not even be a consideration to them, whereas for me (an ultra-low-net person), becoming a career pilot requires tactically considering every dollar I spend. So I thought, ‘wow, I wonder if rich people just fly to Paris for the night to get dinner and then come back,’ or something else as jet-setting.”

“One: [those who wanted to share] their fantasy or egregiously fabulous things they’ve seen on TV portraying rich people. Two: people who fundamentally hate the rich because of principle and would say things that inferred Epstein and his Island, and assume all rich people are grotesque humans. And three: a small few people who are rich, or have first hand knowledge of the ultra wealthy, and would say things like, ‘rich people have their children taught by private tutors.’”
InfiniteMirrorss added that if you dig deep enough, you will find some responses buried in the discussion that also beautifully describe how leisurely life is for the rich. “Every day, someone takes care of every single want and need that they could possibly think of. As one Redditor put it, ’that’s exactly it, they don’t do anything.’”

“How abhorrent does it feel to someone that there can be such wealth and yet others struggle to find basic needs met daily? There is a distaste for the idea that so few people can have so much and in that sense, most people may dream of being wealthy themselves, yet vilify people who are,” InfiniteMirrorss noted.
“It’s my understanding that wealthy people do not interact with the average person, and in fact, avoid it. What rich person (broad strokes here) would ride the NYC subway when they have their private driver take them from their home to their private jet to their private island with their private friends?” the Redditor addrd. “Poor people, fetishize, fantasize, and castigate the rich, and the rich..? I don’t think we cross their mind.”
