Wealthy individuals sometimes request unconventional services such as armed private security and staged kidnappings for entertainment purposes.
There is a growing demand for summer camps for wealthy families to combat isolation and provide opportunities for social interaction and connection.
Money alone does not guarantee happiness for wealthy individuals who often struggle to find their own interests and hobbies after years of focusing on business ventures.
Deep dives
Unique and elaborate requests: Armed private security and staged kidnappings
Some clients have requested armed private security while on vacation, even in countries where it is not permitted. Others have requested staged kidnappings as a thrilling experience.
Summer camps for rich families
To combat the isolation and lack of social interaction experienced by many wealthy individuals, the demand for summer camps where families can meet and socialize has grown. These camps provide activities for both adults and children, allowing families to connect with like-minded individuals.
The importance of finding personal happiness
Many clients who have achieved significant financial success come to realize that money alone does not bring happiness. Some struggle to identify their own likes, interests, and hobbies after years of focusing solely on their business ventures.
The value of meaningful relationships
Building strong, genuine relationships with influential and interesting people is highly valued by wealthy individuals. They seek connection and value social responsibility in both their personal and professional lives.
The significance of reevaluating success
Wealth alone does not guarantee fulfillment or a sense of purpose. It is important for individuals to reevaluate what truly matters to them and what kind of legacy they want to leave behind, focusing on aspects beyond monetary achievements.
In episode 22 of The Really Rich Podcast with Nicholas Crown, I sit down with Founder, CEO, Investor, YC Alum and ultra-high-net worth service provider; Rey Flemings, of Myria. Following an exit to Apple, Rey began a career providing non-financial services to ultra-high-net worth individuals (UHNWI). That path has led him to Myria, a company designed to serve clients with $100M or more at scale.
Rey is the go-to guy when it comes to villas on the beach, private hangs with the famous, and buying what isn’t for sale. Rey takes a consultative role, guiding these UHNWI to receive what cannot be purchased with money alone.
