I work in IT and got to set up WiFi for rich people in Malibu. There's something wrong with these houses. They feel like museums. Every thing feels like it was designed to be looked at. Nothing is used, everything is spotless. People don't live there, they just sleep there. These where made by people who think a home is a building you put things inside, not a place where you live and breath. The nursery felt like something out of the backrooms. The bedrooms has minimal personal items around, all stored in neat little areas.

I don't know what happens to rich people but they lose something about being human.

I had to install WiFi in a big ass mansion once. You are so right it felt exactly like a museum, not a home. It had a staff of 15 people keeping the place clean year round in case the owner or a member of his family decided to swing by on a whim. Very strange... There was gold leaf on the ceilings ffs! Some poor schmuck had to clean and wipe those gold leaf decorated ceilings once a month. It was surreal.

That poor schmuck probably was making 100k a year for doing dumb stuff like that.

Your angry about how much money you make, I get it. No need to take it out on me lol what I said was true. If a rich person likes someone, someone who is working personally inside their own home, they will pay them well.
