A lot of movies show the weird habits of rich people. These aren’t just the wild ideas of screenwriters; strange things really do happen behind the closed doors of expensive mansions, as people have said on social media.

I live in an old but nice and comfortable apartment in Giza, which is about 20 minutes from the pyramids. She is probably in her 60s and is a very nice old lady. She is also filthy, filthy, filthy rich. After a minor accident last year, my car had to be fixed for more than a week. When the landlady’s doormen told her about it, she sent one of her English-speaking maids to give me the keys to a BMW 520i, a Mercedes-Benz S600, and a brand-new Land Cruiser. “The madam won’t let you use your car until it’s fixed,” As you might expect, I was shocked. I asked her if she could still lend me that many cars. “Don’t worry, ma’am has 12 cars in al-Qahirah.” Okay, I guess… The Land Cruiser was the only one I used because it was the cheapest. One more story is about when she found out I was going to graduate from college soon. I went to her house because she asked me to, and all she did was give me some money and keys. “This is a nice villa I own in Ain Sokhna.” Bring your family and friends to see it; I’ll pay for the food and drinks. There are maids and cooks there. You can use my car; the money is for gas. “Happy graduation!” Not only did she tell me she couldn’t take it, but she also pushed me away and told me to return her keys after I went to the villa. I haven’t been there yet, but I will as soon as I get the chance. Yes, it is silly, but in a great way. From ezadskoo on Reddit

A woman I know bought her child a horse, and then the kid and the horse bought another horse for the horse to play with. Then they thought it would be a good idea to build a stable. Their horse school is now run by them, and they have about eight horses. If you had enough money, you could turn a child’s idea into a business. ThatLordoftheThing on Reddit

The CEO of a big telecoms company played golf at a course that he owned and didn’t like how the cell tower looked next to the course. The tower was somewhere else the next time he went to play.

I take care of pets for some very wealthy people, which means I go to their homes. Many people like big, fancy homes, but some apartment buildings have really shocked me. These places are inside what look like harmless art deco buildings. You get there through a rickety back elevator and a side door. Inside, you’ll find beautiful homes with multiple floors that are big enough for several families. Families with pets and maybe one or two kids live there most of the time. I always thought that apartments were the cheapest way to live and that owning a home was a treat. but have been shown to be wrong. From squishman1203 on Reddit

A very wealthy and nice woman I knew owned several huge homes. She took in stray dogs, gave each one its own room, and hired live-in staff to take care of them. That I worked hard at some of her homes as a teen and got paid well for it. The dogs had to feed at certain times every day, and their food was made from scratch by cooks. A nutritionist would sometimes be there to watch over them. I remember very clearly putting big, raw turkey legs into each bowl.
We had to be very strict about giving the dogs their room time and free-roam time. Every morning, they trained with a professional and his team. They learned fun tricks and some of the disabled dogs got physical therapy. After that, lunch. It was around 3 p.m. when they were let out on their playfield, which was made up of football-sized fields. They would play with each other for 4 hours, until 6 p.m. They could be led back inside by a cute sheepdog if they stayed outside for too long. I will never forget seeing dogs living better than I did. It made me feel disconnected.
