If you don’t count his $70 million custom built private jet, his multi-million dollar fleet of personal cars, the hundreds of millions of dollars of mansions he owns, or the various corporate headquarters where he ostensibly spends most of his time, then he’s technically homeless!

Also, “staying at a friend’s house” for rich people is very much not the same as couch surfing. Idk why, but “staying with a friend” is actually like a huge part of “rich people culture”. It gives people a chance to show off, it helps build clout and reinforce relationships, and it’s often more comfortable than staying in a hotel since you’re typically staying in the guest wing of an expensive mansion.

Which, by the way, is another example of how it’s perversely cheaper to be rich. Two week vacation to the Cape? hardly costs a thing when you stay in a friend’s summer home. not that that stops you from spending more on wine while you’re there than a 2 week hotel stay would have cost, of course.

we try not to fantasize about a little adventurism. we try not to fantasize about a little adventurism. we try not to fantasize about a little adventurism. we try not to fantasize about a little adventurism. we try not to fantasize about a little adventurism.

hmm this looks like more of a statement about how the USA fixates on income to avoid acknowledging wealth

rotating between my friends’ spare rooms, like the indoor-gazebo overlooking the villa, and the spare guest room in the victorian manor fit with its very own fridge
