Guarantee that actual rich people don’t use this shit
looking at the side for that dating app looks like a generic cookie cutter dating website but make "rich"
I think they might use James edition to rent their castle getaways in France
However, the app has come under fire for its exclusivity: In 2015, Luxy kicked out 40,000 members for being "too poor, too ugly or both."
Lmfao
Please don't share corporate media, it's a pitfall they want individuals like you & me to use those platforms to sell ourselves.
"make it" is corporate.. i mean.. like my local backery is corporate too Avoid facebook, google, and amazon, twitter, reddit I"m all for it.. but some second hand website ? IMO it kill any concurrence the former could have
I noticed that the "Rich Kids" app for photo sharing (aka Instagram for the wealthy) is only in English and Russian, so I guess that one is mostly for Russia's oligarchy? It makes me wonder if most of it is for the Russian oligarchy for the most part. I can't see filthy rich people from the USA or Europe using these things. A lot of them are actually on Instagram and Tinder like "regular" people use.
$1k per month is also a downright excessive price for something with zero intrinsic value. I honestly do not believe many wealthy people would pay it (or let their kids waste their money like that - which is usually pretty closely scrutinized).
I have a good amount of experience with the finances of the ultra wealthy and the vast majority do not waste money. In fact, they can be surprisingly frugal. It’s actually a big reason why trickle down economics is total bullshit. The more money you have, the more likely you are to save it or put it toward investments. It does not result in increased “regular” spending.
Sure, they’ll drop big cash on homes, planes, and other valuable assets with resale value. A small handful have obscene restaurant and/or travel expenses. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like a cash drain of $1k/month for a silly subscription. That would be a major red flag, and as a financial advisor we’d probably make sure they’re aware of it.
Right, that's the whole philosophy behind capitalism. If you have capital, you're supposed to hold onto it and "put it to work" aka find ways to make money off of it and other people with less or no capital. The filthy rich have done this or, more than likely, their ancestors have done this and have accumulated a large amount of capital. The Russian oligarchs and their families, though, they're culturally different and a lot of them are not capitalists as described by Marx. They very much enjoy being ostentatious and showing off their trinkets, which is why I wondered and asked about it.

Wtf?
I mean, how easy would it be to run a big drop shipping scam on rich people?
Not easy at all.
Cool. Let's do it!
If that were true... Why do rich folks keep spamming bullshit on TwixXer then?
They're not.
They have a team who is doing it for them.
I don't think the Donald or the "Hitler was right" rapper guy or the stonks pseudo Edgelord were posting through a team though
Who is the "stonks pseudo edgelord?"
Elongated Muskrat, maybe?
The dating site has a section "as recommended by" and a quote from Jimmy Kimmel appearing to (mildly) endorse the site. I watched the monologue from Jimmy Kimmel the quote was lifted from - he's absolutely not endorsing the site, he was reading a blurb about what they said about themselves and the proceeds to make fun of the site culminating in him "punching" a (fake) spokesperson from the company on behalf of the 99% for being a douche.
It's really funny that Elon Musk has access to an exclusive dating app but still somehow can't keep any girlies lmao!!!
I doubt this is factual. Sounds cool but it's probably an ad
I'm equally as entertained by Wayfair's newer "luxury goods" site, Perigold. Wayfair for fancy people.
What a stupid name. Peri for around or near. Makes me think they sell knock offs.
Wow, I just took a look. Same shit, stupid prices.
