這是很有趣的題目，出現在Reddit上面。原始貼文是十年前的，詢問極度富有的人購買哪些普通人不知道的商品或服務。話說回來，富有的人應該不會上Reddit去回文，上面的討論也可能就是自己想像。
不過，逛到HN上面，討論這個Reddit的討論引來了超過兩百個討論。這樣的論點就稍微齊全些了。
HN上主要討論觀點整理如下：

Hamstergene： “The comment just plain and straight doesn’t answer the question being asked.”

此外，富人對於財富的管理、生活方式的選擇以及對社會地位的追求也展現出與普通人不同的價值觀。這些觀點提供了對富人生活方式的深入了解，也反映出財富對個人生活各個層面的影響。
