Everyone thinks the “rich person” life is about fast cars, fancy watches, and designer flexes. But when we talked to over 150 high-performing founders, the things they actually spend on – and swear by – were surprisingly practical. Some luxuries just look good on Instagram. Others change the way you live, work, and feel every day.
Here’s what we talk about:
- The #1 luxury nearly every founder says they’ll never go without again
- Why hiring a housekeeper or private chef might save your business (and marriage)
- The health investments founders make – and which ones are worth skipping
- Why some founders spend $100K/year on concierge medicine for their families
- Renting at $17K/month: outrageous flex or return-on-happiness?
- The emotional ROI of experiences (and the trip one founder spent $500K on)
- Business class vs. private jets: which travel upgrade is actually worth it?
- How these purchases impact kids – and the fine line between “comfortable” and “entitled”
