TMI 3,512 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Sarah Miller, Thought Catalog Flying private – Ever wonder what it’s like to not have to go through airport security? Well, it’s fucking awesome. Black Amex privileges – Have you ever wished you could have an entire store stay open after hours so you could shop, upgrade to first class for free, get tickets to any sold-out show, or get reservations in ANY restaurant at a moment’s notice? Unlimited Whole Foods – What does a billionaire get his girlfriend for Valentine’s Day? Anything she wants. I picked having his card put on file at Whole Foods. The best medical care money can buy – Dentist, plastic surgery, and family doctors who don’t even accept insurance. It offers a sense of security I’d never be able to describe. $36 million views – When you build the building you live in, you can bet that your view will be nothing short of stellar. Shopping sprees at any store you wish – Bloomingdales has about seven floors. But they don’t deliver, so you can only buy as much as you can carry. (You’ll make that mistake only once. Trust me.) $10,000 a month to invest – What does a billionaire get his girlfriend for her birthday? He gets her $10,000 a month (for one year) to invest in stocks for her future. Free apartment on Fifth Avenue – The girlfriend of a billionaire has one job and one job only: to make sure he is happy. You can’t be bothered with rent. The ability to live out any of your dreams – The chance to go to any school or any country you want to. If you dream it, he can make it happen. Protection and security – Being with someone who has large amounts of money can provide a calming sense of security. ​And the things you give up that you won't miss? ​ The feeling that you’re constantly making terrible economic choices – When there is no opportunity cost attached to the money you are spending, you end up buying a ton of shit that you don’t even like (or need). Just because you can. Growing more and more isolated from society – When you’re in such a unique situation its hard to find people you can relate to. The pressure to be, act, and look perfect – People with lots of money have high expectations and they expect you to meet them. You can let this inspire you or burden you. The constant fear he will grow tired of you – When someone has you addicted to easy money, you know there is always a chance you may need to drastically change your life style at any moment and it can suck the fun out of everything. The longing for a true, real, loving relationship – When you’re in a superficial relationship, there is no amount of lobster or designer purses that can fill the void of genuine romantic love.

...... 3,962 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Random Story (Black card reference): i went to prep school with a girl who had a black card... it was a burden to her actually... not a gift... she hated it... she had to spend a certain amount annually or face fines and crap...but she was stuck in boarding school, so it's not like she could splurge on crazy trips...or make sizeable purchases really... A bunch of us used to sign out on the weekends and head to Boston to party off campus for two days. She'd insist on buying anything and everything...even though ... we were all prep school kids with our own CCs... it was sort of awkward tbh...but we were doing her a favour i guess...letting her foot bills. Her dad cheated (probably still does) on her mother regularly.... so i get what the author is saying...about basically being disposable... this girl's mother was the mother of his children and is of a well to do family herself, so he keeps her around...and he's very wealthy and prominent...so she sticks around.... but their relationship seems pretty loveless. She constantly got plastic surgery and such to keep him interested... that's sort of a sad life...even with the basically unlimited funding.

mgl 5,919 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Uh... does this even warrant an article? Sounds like humblebrag followed by a pity party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...... 3,962 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 i don't know where people are getting "pity party" from. It doesn't seem like the author wants anyone's pity at all... and for that matter... it seems clear to me that she acknowledges that she was essentially a sugar baby... and the con's list was basically what a sugar baby should expect... basically to be expendable.
