They’re living large.

While most Americans are struggling to make ends meet these days, the ultra-rich are living life, many unaware of how out of touch their day-to-day habits and actions are.

In the r/AskReddit forum on Reddit, one curious user asked those who work in “ultra wealthy households, talking $50m plus types, what is the most out-of-touch thing you’ve witnessed?”

Over 3,000 people ran to the comment section to share their observations.

Buckle up because some of these responses were jaw-dropping, especially to those of us who cringe at how much it costs to fill up our gas tanks or what a gallon of milk costs.

One user shared the story of her mom’s boss, which proved that if you have money and want something, it’s yours.

“My mom’s boss was taking a stroll on the beach in the hamptons and liked the house we walked past. She left a check in the mailbox for the owner and a note asking to buy the house. Long story short, she has a great Hamptons house now,” the comment read.

Another told the head-scratching reason a wealthy person purchased a penthouse.

“I dated a girl whose grandfather is very wealthy. He purchased the penthouse above his and converted [in] into a terrarium type of environment for his cactuses,” they shared.

One comment explained how many ultra-rich think rules don’t apply to them.

“I was a cleaner and I was paid to join the family [to] go to their holiday home upstate and clean the holiday home while they were there. They were only there Saturday and Sunday but they wanted me to clean throughout. I changed the bed every day and cleaned up like I would do at a hotel,” the comment started.

“When we came back, the chauffeur had a problem so they just organised a local cab company. The husband sat in the front, I sat at back with the wife. The husband started smoking. The cab driver said he could not smoke. The husband said, I’ll pay you money to get the car cleaned.

The cab driver said no, if you smoke I will get a fine. The husband told the wife to pass him her (very expensive) Hermes handbag. The husband went into the bag, took out a huge pile of cash… about $1,000 and put it on the dash. He said to the driver, it’s fine, I got you covered and then he started smoking!”

Another revealed how money can truly buy you anything.

“Did some private cheffing of a family that had a net worth above 10 billion, their 2 dogs were cloned from the original dog who died at 18. They had health issues all the time so we were required also to cut the dog food to specific grammage, etc.,” the user explained.

While one user pointed out how uppity some can be when it comes to their food.

“My friend nannied for a family that was absolutely befuddled that pasta comes dried in a box for us poor.
They’d only ever seen their personal chef make pasta by hand,” the commenter wrote.
