What Happens When You Become Filthy Rich? Here’s How Your Life Will Drastically Change

April 3, 2022

Reading celebrities’ net worth can turn anyone green with envy. Mansions, cars, properties, stocks, and businesses, all these things come easy when you have the money. While we are still daydreaming about that sweet day when we finally become filthy rich, do you ever wonder how your life will change or how far you will go?

A Reddit user a1988eli shed some light on what insanely wealthy people are capable of buying and divided it into five levels.

First Level ($10-$30 million)

With this amount of money, you can basically address your needs and live more comfortably than the others. You can fly first class if you want to; live in a very lavish house, and practically not worry about healthcare.

No drastic financial problem can affect you so much. You are wealthy but not so much that you wouldn’t care about how you spend.

Second Level ($30-$100 million)

If you have this much money, it’s either you charter a plane privately or you own one private jet that you use to travel abroad. You don’t worry about staying at a posh 5-star hotel and you basically have so many properties you may not even need to find rental accommodation. Speaking of destinations, your choices are the most scenic (and expensive).

You may have a very lucrative business; are one of the most respected and well-known people in your community, and could be rubbing elbows with senators and congressmen. Anything you want – from cars to clothes to bags – can be bought without hesitation. People who are at this level typically hire assistants that talk with those who need to reach them.

Third Level ($100 million - $1 billion)

This fortune may be unimaginable but there are a lot of stars whose net worth falls within the range. If somehow you have earned this much in your lifetime, you have throngs of residences, all with so many rooms that can comfortably accommodate you and your family; have luxury cars that are only one of the few ever made; have celebrities and politicians as pals; have a private island, and you’re almost always invited to parties.

The only caveat is that you don’t know who your friends are anymore since everyone tends to be a ‘yes man’ toward you.

Fourth Level ($1-$10 billion)

At this point, you can have everything tangible you could ever want. You have access to most VIPs; can influence policies; have your own time – as in you have your own schedule, and you have the best experiences.

You surely can create an impact if you want to and you get a certain level of respect that is not afforded to just anyone. However, money really can’t buy anything – and that includes love.

Fifth Level ($10 billion and Above)

You are living life like a head of state. Saudi Arabia and Thailand’s kings are just two of the extremely few people who are worth $10 billion and more.

What’s Up with Fake Meat? Here’s Why You Should Give It a Try Earlier this year, power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z challenged their fans to join them in becoming vegan, even saying that it is of global importance. Plant-based diet champions are also encouraging the public to not eat meat, citing tons of supposed benefits. Because of the growing number of people switching their lifestyles, there is no doubt that the trend is booming more than ever. However, not all people are convinced of the practice, while others are afraid of a drastic change. But for some, the reason can be as simple as they’re unwilling to or couldn’t give up meat. Reasons to Give Up Meat Vegans have been laying out studies after studies detailing the benefits of eating plant-based food in order to urge people to switch to the other side. The number of those convinced is sharply soaring – a comparemarket.com survey saw 3.5 million Brits who admit they are vegan. The increase, according to University of Oxford’s Environmental Sustainability Knowledge Transfer Network former director Carolyn Roberts, may be due to the change of attitude toward environmental issues.

It makes up for 37 percent for methane induced by humans and accounts for 64 percent of ammonia. According to a study, we need to consume 90 percent less pork and 75 percent less beef all over the world just to keep the global temperature less than 2 degrees Celsius within the century. Don’t forget about the harm it does to the animals. The Rise of Fake Meat While the aforementioned facts are not enough to convince people to change their eating habits, the food industry came up with fake meats, which impressively taste like the real thing. You are forgiven if you think that meat substitutes were only made a couple of years ago, but according to Chinese food expert Fuchsia Dunlop, it originated in China. In fact, it deeply roots in the colorful and history-rich culinary culture of the Asian country.

An example of which was during the Tang dynasty when imitation pork and mutton dishes were served at a banquet hosted by an official. What Makes Fake Meat Taste Like the Real Deal? Fake meat manufacturers have a competition that’s pretty hard to beat, the real thing. That’s why they must make it a point that their products copy real meat exactly, especially the taste. How do they do this? Impossible Foods, famous for their Impossible Burger that has gotten rave reviews for tasting nothing like vegetables, credits heme, a result of a bioengineering process and is a molecule that gives the patty the “slightly metallic bloody flavor,” chief science officer David Lipman explained.

Impossible Foods’ goal is to compete with the price tag of Safeway’s 80/20 hamburger so that consumers’ decision-making may depend on their money.
