With the
unstoppable development of modern technologies and trends our houses change
their appearances every year more and more. And a kitchen is a place where all
those new devices, accessories, materials arrive one of the first. We speak not
only about technological progress in fridges, ovens, toasters but also about
elements of interior or different finishes and every little thing you can find
in this space. And there can appear a dispute about the meanings of two adjectives:
modern kitchen and contemporary kitchen. No doubt, that there are many spaces
that we can describe with both those words, but do we understand the
difference? Let us speak more on this question to get deeper knowledge.
If we take
the word “modern”, we think about something trendy at that moment, something
that differs a lot from traditional views and has never been seen before. Today
we see a lot of modern devices, technological novelties, trendy materials that
are integrated into kitchen zones all over the world. And among them we propose
you a list of most important and most moving for kitchen modernization process:
Slab-door kitchen design
One of the most significant elements of a modern kitchen nowadays is a
style which is called a flat-panel door style. If you meet this kind of design
in someone’s apartment or house, you can decide that this kitchen is following
the trends. However, there is an opinion that this so-called door style of
Shaker cannot reflect the modernization process. Some experts call it more transitional, but it does not mean
that if you like that type of interior solution you cannot use it.
Frameless furniture
The second feature of a modern kitchen is a very popular construction style of cabinets. In different sources they call it a dozen names: from overlay cabinets to frameless design. It does not matter, because all those titles describe one phenomenon: doors, which overlay the whole body of the base unit. Professionals and end consumers use this style a lot in modern spaces’ design because it perfectly fits the idea of invisible fittings and fixings, pure lines. It looks different from traditional inset cabinets.
In addition
to this, such cabinets solution adds more visual harmony and space feeling even
to a small room. The face frame of such a base unit is fully unseen, and it is
easier to create a smart and constructive interior. As a great example of this
option, we propose you to check glass-door cabinets from Värde: you will never believe that
there is anything behind the glass, as the frame is invisible. The only small
details which can ruin the vision is a tiny dark line between the base units.
Simple and functional
equipment
Together
with frameless furniture you can easily find the next modern tendency in kitchen
interior – integrated equipment, which has a very simple design but maximum
functionality. Usually, ovens, microwaves, washing machines are integrated into
cabinets, what saves the space and makes the kitchen look modern and simple.
Pure finishes
A good point, where we can find obvious differences between modern and
contemporary. Pure finishes, no extra textures, no bright mix of colors – what
is inherent for contemporary style – modern kitchen tries to avoid it and focus
more on technology and functionality. So once again, slab-door style and smart
equipment work there with pure finished of countertops and cabinets surfaces.
Natural materials
Even if a modern kitchen does not have bright colors and strong textures,
they still can look stylish and for this purpose designers fill the interior
with natural materials. Solid wood or natural marble pieces decorate the space
with a touch of elegance and décor.
Forget about vertical
What can become a real surprise for our audience is the fact that modern
kitchen interior does not like vertical lines in its design. Please, pay
attention to how all the details and elements work on horizontal accents: lines
of cabinets, wide and strong, sliding drawers, standing in a raw together with
equipment placed one by one horizontally. In such a space everything is working
on the idea of a horizontal interior.
The sense is in details
To continue the theme, we cannot miss the details. Interior details are
the thing, which is making modern kitchen harmonious and complete. Only if you
choose right lighting pieces, furniture, tableware, textile you will reach a
whole picture of cozy and comfortable space. However, you should remember that
the accessories must remain elegant, pure and fit the lines of the kitchen
face.
A little mechanic chic
Nobody can disagree that industrial elements today are one of the trendiest points of fashion and interior industry. This is a style when natural materials are more concrete, heavier and ruder but have their charm. Imagine brass or concrete inclusions in countertops or cabinets finishes, handles or even industrial wallpapers and doors. Such elements would become the last step in turning your kitchen into the modern one.
Have you already seen which city is currently the most luxurious throughout the world? If you are used to comfort and life of luxury, you probably know for sure where exactly you can satisfy all you needs. However, this time you will be absolutely surprised, as this phenomenon occurred for the last time 30 years ago.
Three cities simultaneously – Paris, Hong Kong, and Singapore – became the most comfortable and expensive cities worldwide. Researches specializing in elegance unit discover annually the most luxurious cities across the globe, so let’s take a look and decide whether these cities actually deserve their status.
1. Paris
Living Cost: $3000 – $5000 (Per Month, Family)
Food Cost: $600 – $1200 (Per Month, 01 Person)
Clothing Cost: $70 – $150 (Per Month, 01 Person)
Transport & Vehicles: $300 – $700 (Per Month, 01 Person)
Paris is obviously one of the top cities in the world. To live in such prestigious neighborhoods as those around Eiffel Tower, Louvre, or Disneyland would cost you unthinkable amount of money – up to €2,500 per month for a single room. On food you will spend approximately €15 every day for one person. In accordance with the French government, you should pay around €615 for your visa application. In case you would like to live permanently in Paris, you would need €100,000 each year.
In Paris
you will be amused by the local architecture and beautiness all around you. On
the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower there is one of the most expensive
restaurants in the city called Le Jules Verne. Starting price for one meal here
reaches $300. However, in the most expensive restaurant of Paris you will have
to pay $525 minimum, this place is called Guy Savoy, Monnaie De Paris. In
general, you need a huge amount of money if you want to stay in Paris for one
week.
2.
Hong Kong
Living Cost: $4500 – $6000 (Per Month, Family)
Food Cost: $800 – $1400 (Per Month, 01 Person)
Clothing Cost: $50 – $100 (Per Month, 01 Person)

Can you
imagine how expensive it is to live in Hong Kong? In this city you pay HK$92 or
$12 for one product in your lunch or, for example, HK$21 or $2.7 for two
apples. Accommodation would cost around HK$43,837 or $5500 per month. For a
must have cloth like jeans you will have to pay approximately HK$631 or $80.
The architectural style in Hong Kong is very unique and rather uncommon. There
are unarguably plenty of good shopping centers and restaurants. Moreover, Ritz
Carlton Hong Kong is the best 5 stars hotel in the world, but this is
definitely not everything. Hong Kong hosts numerous luxurious hotels, including
Peninsula Hong Kong, Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, The Upper House, Mandarin
Oriental Hong Kong, and many others. In Hong Kong you can also find such
expensive tourist destinations as Lantau Island, where you have to pay $3100 to
$3300 for a private nightlife tour or gastronomy tour.
You have to
be rich enough in order to live in Hong Kong. Then, you would ask – why exactly
Hong Kong is that expensive? The main reason is that people in Hong Kong make a
lot of money. For example, if you hold public office, you can earn up to
$18,150 monthly. Hong Kong’s major trading partners are China and Singapore.
Hong Kong mostly imports heavy machines, food chemicals, industrial products,
and so on.

to spend not less than SG$700 or $510 to live in Singapore for 4 days. On food
you would need to have SG$30 or $21 USD every day. To sustain a middle class
life in Singapore you are supposed to earn from $3,000 to $4,000 per month.
Singapore is also a paradise for shopaholics. The showrooms of the most popular
brands, including Gucci, Miu Miu, Prada, and Loewe, are situated in Singapore.
One of the most expensive shopping centers called Paragon Shopping Mall is
located in Singapore. There is another great shopping mall named Ngee Ann city,
where you can get literally anything.

destinations for holidays than Singapore. According to another survey,

tires that worth minimum $6,000,000, the most expensive cocktail, the biggest

released albums since the 1980s. The relationship between father and son has
not always been smooth. Chan is on the list of the world’s richest celebrities,
but his only son will not get a penny. Jackie Chan then said about his son:
“If he can do something, he’ll earn his own money. And if he can’t, he’ll
spend mine for nothing”.

Actress
Jessica Alba was first included in Forbes’ list of the richest women in the
U.S., who made their fortune on their own. Alba was also included in the list
of the youngest participants of the rating at the age of only 11 years, and won
the acting competition and became a legend. It is her pride to do herself
tricks in movies, such as hanging from a rope and making battle moves. Based on
the fact that the actress at the Golden Globe ceremony in 2013 wearing a
necklace worth 5.8 million dollars, Harry Winston, except for the necklace,
exhibited a platinum ring with a diamond and earrings, so it makes no sense to
discuss her money, everything is already clear.
The path to glory is not always easy. Hundreds of tests and challenges have to be passed, trying not to give up and firmly pursue their goal. This is the principle followed by many famous personalities who were not afraid of difficulties and reached great heights.
I expect
lots of people to agree that our day starts in the kitchen so the kitchen is
one of the most essential places in our home.
Supposedly,
everyone knows the phrase “Home, Sweet Home”. Unlikely you’ve ever met anyone
who doesn’t know it. Being far away from home especially for a long time you
often long to be home. This is probably the closest place to our hearts.
It is worth
noting that the kitchen can be called not only aesthetic but also the social
center of the house. Many of us have fond memories associated with this place.
Are you
still in doubt? We have selected 8 reasons that will show you what role it
plays in your daily life.
1. Homemade Food
There is a
myth that the way to the human heart is through the stomach. You can deny it or
be absolutely sure of it. But who will refuse to eat tasty food?
A kitchen
is a wonderful place where you can create magic. You put your feelings in when
you cook. From completely ordinary products, you can make delicious and
nutritious food.
Remember
the history, how many times ancient tribes started wars over food. This
confirms it once again that eating is one of the fundamental needs. And in the
kitchen, we can satisfy it.
Despite the
fact that we can not always name other reasons, but is this not enough?
2. The Center and the
Heart of your Home
No matter
how many times you eat a day or what your favorite food is, you still go to the
kitchen every day. Whether you want to drink tea, juice or cook a full meal,
you will go to the kitchen anyway.
Researchers
conducted a survey and found that at least 90% of participants start their day
with the kitchen. This does not mean that you spend all your time there. But
you must agree, how pleasant it is to cook something exquisite and delight
yourself or your family members.
Please
notice that the kitchen does not lose its necessity after the evening. It’s
cozy to be able to go somewhere at any time and have a cup of hot cocoa.
3. Childhood Memories
Yes, you
can say that we spend time in the bedroom, so we all need to sleep. However, it
is in the kitchen that we can gather as a family for no particular reason. You
will easily remember what warm memories you have.
First of
all, we can think of family holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas. When you get
together and prepare a holiday dinner. It is easy to remember that atmosphere
of comfort. And then we feel things like smell, feelings, emotions. Some of you
may also think of their mother’s breakfast or other family traditions. Do you
remember the first time you managed to cook something yourself?
However,
you would not have these memories if we did not have a kitchen and we simply
did not have such a room.
4. Great way to Socialize
A large
number of scientists agree that a kitchen is the first place where your
children learn to cooperate and help others. As human beings are social beings,
this is a very important habit that grows up in the kitchen. Children get
acquainted with manners and social etiquette.
Children
often help their parents in the kitchen. For instance, they arrange and remove
dishes. This way they can become familiar with household duties and gradually
help their parents more. One day they’ll learn to cook right there.
5. Developing of Tight
Family Bonds
In many
homes, there is not only a separate dining table but also an entire dining
area. The family can come together and discuss the past day. It definitely
helps you relax after a hard day’s work. It is most convenient for us to speak
out when we are not experiencing tension. You can discuss plans or solve other
problems.
No
question, you can gather in the house and in other places, but in the kitchen,
it is easier to do it all together. We may have different plans throughout the
day, but we cross paths with other family members in the kitchen every day.
Therefore, you can safely say that your relationship is growing stronger.
6. Healthy Lifestyle
A study
conducted by the ‘National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse‘ at
‘Columbia University’ indicates those children who regularly take home-cooked
meals in the family circle have higher school performance. It seems incredible.
But think, children who are emotionally comfortable and generally happy don’t
get distracted by their problems. It is easier for them to concentrate, and
this can really affect the results.
The survey
also reveals that children who have dinner with their family at least 4 times a
week are less liable to use alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes.
7. The New Living Room
In recent
decades, designers have stopped separating the kitchen into a separate room.
They started experimenting with a more open space. Sometimes the kitchen is
bounded from the living room only by a small partition or even a bar counter.
So we have more time to spend in the kitchen. Now we have nothing to prevent us
from communicating with another person.
Many
kitchens also have more space so that you can put up a large dining table and
meet not only family but also friends. Do you agree with how well thought out
and comfortable it is?
Recently, a
combined kitchen with a hall is gaining popularity. Why should we spend time
and money in a separate room, if you can beautifully furnish one? Now, this
trend in the real estate sector attracts the attention of buyers.
8. Hone your Skills
You can be anyone you want, cook as often as you want. But your skill improves over and over again. Cooking is not easy. But it’s nice to see the progress. In the kitchen, you can hone your skills and prepare more refined dishes or learn how to serve them beautifully. It takes effort, but it’s definitely worth it.
A person
who can make their life comfortable will do so with every aspect of it. The way
rich people decorate their bedrooms is not an exclusion, as for everyone this
part of a house is a place to rest one’s mind and body. But is there a way to
make your bedroom look fancier? This article will get you an insight into how
some famous people sleep – and how you can be a little bit like them.
1. Baldwin Bedroom
Location: Long island
Attraction: customized blue bed and chair,
super large space, white glassy false ceiling, chunky selenite chandelier
Baldwin
spouses’ bedroom can only be described as splendid. A custom-built Ron dier
chandelier and an ornate chimney both found their way into this room. At the
same time, there is other bedroom furniture like two nightstands, Daniel
Romanoff chairs, Spanish floor matt tiles and a box bed with Frette bedding. A
nice final touch is a great balcony door.
2. Michael Bay’s Bedroom
Location: USA
Attraction: interior design by oak
Materials: velvet finish floor, modern bed,
large space, large led, expensive ceiling design, attached balcony, attached
bath, diamond shape glass furniture, expensive painting, high-end glass walls,
light clothing, etc.
Expense: $430k US
This famous
director’s room is another example of luxury. A bath, which can be accessed
directly from the bedroom is separated only by a pitch-black wall. Other than
an oak bed there is not much furniture in this room. A panoramic window, hidden
behind a curtain, opens a magnificent view of the city landscape.
3. Kourtney Kardashian’s
bedroom
Designer: Jeff Andrews
Location: California
Expense: $1 Million USD
Materials: Loro Piana wool linen, natural
wool, wood, wallpaper
Attraction:
Patterned curtains, Sentimental showpieces, Neon sign behind the bed, hotel
vibe in the room, comfortable space, and wallpaper on the ceiling
The
well-known star of ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ lives in a hotel-like
room. She values style over comfort – no wonder given the fact that her room is
designed by Jeff Andrews. White bedding contrasts with her big jet bed which is
right in the middle of the room. Right next to it there is a bookshelf with
some of her late father’s things: law books, a little old red shoe and else.
What is remarkable is a neon sign on the wall behind the bed. A big flat-screen
TV is placed on the other wall. The fluffy carpet that covers the floor makes
the room even cozier.
4. The Underwater Bedroom
Location: Maldives
Attraction: Sleep with fishes
Materials: High-end glass finish, king bed,
waterproof floor carpet, large 4k led, expensive bed clothing, etc.
Expense: $15 million USD
A quiet
evening under the water is something unique, but not unheard of. Some people
prefer to cover their bedroom walls with TV screens, however, in the Maldives
Murakha hotel there are underwater rooms. In such suite only a plastic dome
separates you from fish swarming around – by the way, which fish will it be is
up to you.
5. Brian Atwood
Location: Milan
Expense: $300k USD
Attraction: Dramatic black wall, vintage hand
chair, large space, simplicity
Materials: wood, wallpaper
Designer: Nate Berkus
Combining
antique elements with modern designs is a trend that Brian Atwood follows. In
his room, there are vintage pieces like a 17-century chair and modern parts
like a little photo gallery and posters on the walls. The white middle-sized
bed is rather basic but stylish.
6. Roberto Cavalli’s
Bedroom
Attraction: Art collection
Location: Tuscan villa
Materials: Master bed, animal print,
gilt-wood mirror, artwork, fur made duvet, excellent wall & floor finish,
etc.
Expense: $55k USD
Roberto’s
room is by far the most extravagant from this list. Decorated with a lot of
animal prints, it has a blanket resembling zebra skin. Opposite the bed, there
is a wall with a lot of magnificent art pieces hanging on it. A mirror,
attached to the headboard, reflects the view of the high-class room.
Lindsey
Buckinghum is an example of why beauty and quality are associated with money.
He is a fan of the old, too, as he has a vintage ballroom chair, an 18-century
desk, and a hundred-year-old chandelier all in his bedroom – all of these are
antique and therefore quite expensive
8. Angelina Jolie’s
Bedroom
Color: White
Attraction: Simplicity
Materials: bed, expensive furniture, attached
bath, high curtains, fireplace, attached balcony, lights, sofa, marble tiles,
off white ceiling, etc.
Expense: $40k USD
Nothing
ordinary can’t be expected from a Hollywood actress, and her room is gorgeous,
but modestly so. Decorated in beige and white, it represents Angelina’s view
that the bedroom should be a place where not only one’s body rests, but soul
too. The room’s color scheme is supposed to install peace in its inhabitant,
and so it does. Bed and three chairs are the furniture she’s got in her room.
Lady Gaga
is known for being exceptional. The same applies to her Malibu place, which has
a small terrace with a fascinating view of the sea. However, her room from the
inside is admirable too: as many of her star colleagues, she has an expensive
chandelier decorated with gold, a large white bed with an ornate lamp on the
nightstand. A TV in front of the bed complements such a room.
10. Mark Badgley and James
Mischka’s bedroom
Designer: Kentucky getaways design team
Expense: $1,00,000
Materials: leather, wood, expensive lights,
limited edition room color
These
Hollywood sweethearts certainly have a thing for vintage. In their bedroom,
there are art pieces such as an old Laurin Copen painting, a bed with Badgley
Mischka Home sheets and a mirror wall. A custom-designed bed stands on a
polished wooden floor and surrounded by painted grey walls.
11. The Light Bedroom
One of the
many ways of how to make your room more appealing is by adding some light and
color. For example, you can use multi-colored strip lights on your ceiling or
under the bed, which would make it cozier at night.
12. Grass Bedroom
Perfect for
nature lovers, this kind of room feels like a little field of your own. The bed
– as are sheets and duvet – is covered with grass, which enhances the feeling
of a nature getaway. Pro tip: a big mirror installed on the headboard will make
the room look bigger.
13. Space Saving Bedroom
Attraction: convertible furniture
A spacious
room is not always a big one. You can save some space by using multi-purpose
furniture, such as a retractable bed that is also be a wardrobe, or have
folding chairs. Hanging something on a wall will also help.
14. The Bubble Bedroom
Attraction: bubble bed
This room can be described using only one word: bubble. This bedroom looks like a bubble and has a lot of those in it, as the bed is made of big soft bubble-looking balls and can be recomposed in any other shape. To spend a day in a such fancy room you have to visit Aire de bardenas hotel in Spain.

bright bulbs. One more way to do your kitchen light is to white color,

cabinetry that will leave more space and have a magnificent look. The best

island.

What kind
of hobbies would you have if you were rich? Take your time to answer. Of
course, there are those hobbies which require a lot of money, but what are
they? Collecting designer’s clothes, art or alpinism?
People who
own companies, factories, and plants, need some rest as much as we do. But,
unlike us, they may afford everything in this life. We would like you to get
familiar with these luxury hobbies – they will literally shock you!
Scuba Diving
Rich people often choose extreme hobbies. Their lives are different and full of problems which we wouldn’t understand. That’s why they choose this thrilling, risky hobby. The equipment costs around $500, but you also must have a scuba diving certificate, and that requires $300-$400 more. They can be given by ACDC, ACUC, AED. Scuba diving has also some risks to be taken into account. They include decompression sickness, drowning, etc.
Some factors are impacting on diver’s death, so please be careful. Temporary or chronic breathing difficulties and diseases may affect your safety. You need also to evaluate the environmental issues of the place you’re going to dive. Cheap equipment may easily let you down at depth – don’t spare your money when buying it.
Conquering the heights
Climbing
mountains is a truly expensive hobby. Before your first climb, you should work
out a lot to make your body strong, which takes money. Then you need to buy the
necessary equipment, which can’t be cheap, because your life depends on the
price of your rope and bag. Besides, don’t forget that you have to carry heavy
things, like a tent, some drugs in case of emergency, camping utensils. You may
travel alone or with friends. Naturally, you can’t climb without permission. It
will cost something too. There’s no certain price, but the average cost of
climbing equipment costs approximately $420. It depends on the kind of your
climbing shoes, harness, helmet, etc.
Taking care of animals
What’s
unusual in that, you think? Nothing apart from the price and the size. For
example, Kristen Stewart has a wolf at home! Mike Tyson, who used to be a
boxer, spends $4000 monthly to take care of his personal tiger. You see that
rich people prefer to have unusual and expensive pets at home. Kirstie Alley
hired two people taking care of her lemur at a cost of $40-$50k a year. Those
who really love animals will never regret that money, which they spent on them.
Especially when they’re rich. But if you have no money for a tiger, you can buy
a spider or a bat. Some get even donkeys. Of course, for having such a pet you
should have enough space for it.
Snake at
home is very challenging as a pet. But a Lavender Albino Ball Python requires
food just once a week if you are too busy to feed your pets. Guns’N’Roses
guitarist Slash has a lot of boas and pythons. His pet Pandora appeared in a
video clip in 1989. Actress Tippi Hedren keeps a lion, who sometimes even slept
with her daughter! You can buy a snake on a website and even get a guarantee.
There you will also find all the necessary information. The cheapest reptiles
and snakes cost about $75 and higher – $600-$800. Those who dream about a bird
may buy exotic Purple Granadier Finch or Opal-Rumped Tanager for the price of
$600-$800.
Skydiving
This hobby
is not less dangerous than scuba diving. But many prosperous people pay to jump
from the airplane, to feel flying in the skies, enjoying incredible views. But before
the flight, you’d better take some courses, and they cost around $1250. Mount
Everest is a beloved place for skydiving. It costs $320 for a jump from 12500
ft. The Namib Desert will give you an impressive view of Namibia. Not cheap,
isn’t it? Mount Everest, Victoria Falls, Denarau Island attract thousands of
tourists wishing to do skydiving. You can jump alone or in a tandem, which is
cheaper. But, besides the jump, you need to buy the tickets, probably find a
local guide, and that makes the trip really expensive.
Collecting cars
If a child
collects toy cars, there’s nothing special. When a rich person collects real
expensive cars, it’s an elite class hobby. After buying, every car should be
treated carefully, which very few can afford. Popular celebrities, whose annual
income is large enough to buy the newest cars, as well as antique ones, often
choose it as their hobby. They may cost more than modern cars. Wycleaf Jean, a
Haitian rapper, has a huge car collection. It includes McLaren F1, Rolls-Royce Phantom,
Bentley Arnage, Cadillac Eldorado. Patrick Dempsey, a famous actor, has ten
cars, which is not a large amount. But unlike Floyd Mayweather, who owns over
100 cars and never uses some of them, Patrick drives all his cars. He believes
that they shouldn’t just stay in the garage. He treats every car as a
personality.
Some
celebrities prefer only one style or even one mark. Jerry Seinfeld has 43
Porsches. He earns $820 billion a year, so buying a new car for him is like
buying new shoes for us.
To collect
cars, you should have money not only for their purchase but also for their
maintenance. A member of a ruling family, undoubtedly, can afford it. Middle
East’s prince has a fine collection. A comedian Jay Leno has 130 cars and 90
motorcycles.
Mr. Bean, or,
being precise, Rowan Atkinson, is a car lover too. He collects the most
exquisite cars in the world. There are cars like Aston Martin v8, Bentley
Mulsanne and a purple McLaren F1.
Romance of dancing
If you were
lucky to take ballroom dancing, you must know that this hobby is considered to
be the most romantic and beautiful in the world. The difference is that rich
people attend the best teachers’ classes and pay $10000 yearly. The price of
learning dancing is various, but the prestigious dance school, which the rich
people prefer, are not cheap. The new-brand dancing dresses may cost
$300-$1000. The nicest part of ballroom dancing is traveling around the world
with the dancing program. A bright example is Kryklyvyy, a famous professional
ballroom dancer and a 5-time United States Champion.
Traveling around the world
Nowadays
more and more people can afford to travel. But only people who have money can
make it their hobby. The top-ranked tour agencies are Classic Journeys,
Gray&Co, Wild Frontiers Adventure Travel, Scott Dunn and Terra Incognita
Ecotour. They help tourists organize their vacation: guide service, booking
tickets, and hotels, etc. Many countries from all continents find their fans,
but the most popular are China, Italy, Turkey, Mexico, Germany, and Thailand.
A social
star Kate Mcculley, best known for her travel blog “Adventurous Kate”, has
visited 83 countries. Keirsten, a girl from California, has been traveling for
5 years. We don’t know if she’s super-rich, but the fact she’s working with top
brands and sponsors, speaks for itself. Keirsten has a blog “The Blonde
Abroad”. How much do you think it costs visiting at least 10-15 countries? You
can find many travel bloggers on YouTube and subscribe to their channels, to
learn their lifehacks about traveling. All these travelers, surely, have the
means for their hobby.
Flying like a bird
How
wonderful is a flight in a hot balloon! But this romantic journey requires
money and some physical training. You have to learn how to ride first. A person
who will help you in case of an emergency should also go with you by car. You
need to pay for his service too. Hot air balloon riding is not possible in bad
weather, because it may be dangerous. There should be no rain, no fog, and
wind. Buying an average hot air balloon costs $25000. A used balloon will be
cheaper. If you use local agencies’ services, each ride will cost you
$250-$300.
Spending money for the
sake of art
This is not
just a rich people’s hobby, it can bring you real money! A picture by an unknown
artist may cost several times more in a few years. Leonardo Da Vinci, whose
real name was Salvatore Mundi, painted Jesus Christ on request of Louis XII. Da
Vinci remains popular for many years and even decades and even now people buy
his paintings for crazy money. Eli and Edyth Broad have a public art gallery.
Kenneth C. Griffin, the hedge fund billionaire, is one of the world’s top art
collectors. Another art collector Steve Cohen has paintings and sculptures,
valued at $1 billion. A Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich has an art gallery,
including works by Francis Bacon, and Lucien Freud. Hans Adam II, the Prince of
Liechtenstein, is an owner of a 300-years old private art gallery. There are
some paintings by Raphael and Rubens. But the most valuable art collection on
Earth belongs to Nahmad brothers. It worths over $3 billion. Its net worth is
not a surprise, given the fact that they own the masterpieces by Picasso and
Van Gogh, whose names knows everyone.
Aquariums
An aquarium
itself is not a big deal. But large, luxurious aquariums with the rarest fish
cost not less than $600. Platinum Arowana is being sold for $400,000. It’s an
amazing colorful fish, difficult to breed. Such famous fish as Neptune Grouper,
Bladefin Basslet, cost a fortune.
This list
is still incomplete. If you have money, you can afford such things as:
Car
