RICH PEOPLE THINGS.

I'm going to class it up here on Tarhearted and recommend a book.

Yes! You heard right! A fancy reading object! Rich People Things, by Chris Lehmann, is a satirical and caustic and ultimately really serious look at, well... the things rich people like and the culture of privilege.

 

The Publisher's description:

It’s never easy being rich: endless tax avoidance, the Sisyphean search for reliable domestic staff, the never-ending burden of surly stares from the Great Sea of the Unwashed as one goes about one’s rightful business. Toughest of all is simply keeping track of everything one owns. There’s so much of it. And personal possessions are just the beginning.

You must keep a gimlet eye, too, on the myriad people and institutions that safeguard your gilded status: politicians, newspapers, financial instruments, branches of government. They all belong to you. But staying on top of what they’re up to is a full time job. What’s an overstretched gazillionaire to do?

There's even an amazing trailer on Youtube.
