Most people have things they like to do for fun outside of work. Hobbies like running, knitting and bird watching are very low-cost and can be enjoyed by just about anyone. But not all hobbies are so accessible and a new Reddit thread is digging into those.
It asks, “Which hobbies that people do scream ‘rich people?’” From nearly 18-thousand responses, these are the high-dollar ones that Redditors feel are for the wealthy.
- “Tennis. Even though tennis isn't super expensive, that's where all the millionaires/their kids are.”
- “I work for Porsche. Many clients have racetrack memberships where they garage their cars and have track days. $80-90k initiation fee, $10k annual fee for some memberships.”
- “My neighbor is a yachtsman who makes a middle class living racing rich people's yachts. So, I would say hiring people to indulge your hobbies is about as 1 percent as one can get.”
- “Polo”
- “Summering. Only rich people will ask another person where they 'summer.'”
- “Flying to F1 races.”
- “We had a meet and greet with a new executive at my company, and she told us one of her hobbies is 'investing in real estate.'”
- “My granddad belonged to a country club. My extremely affluent uncle enjoys building and flying his own aircraft as a hobby.”
- “Going to space.”
- “In Germany we have a saying: if you play golf, you’re too poor for horses. You buy horses if you are too poor for sailing. If you are sailing you’re probably too poor for jets and motor yachts.”
- “Creating a secret cave filled with high tech equipment.”
- “Art collecting.”
- “Having more than one Lego set.”
- “Going to Africa to hunt big game.”
- “Tax evasion.”
- “About an hour ago I saw an ad for a farmer’s market in a part of town that is basically just a rich people shopping district, and it’s THURSDAY at 8 AM-11 AM. Nothing screams 'This is only for people with money' than being scheduled for the time when most people work. And the fact that it had tons of white ladies commenting ready to go after brunch solidified that.”
