What do ridiculously rich people (like Bill Gates etc.) ask for/get for Christmas/birthdays/etc.? - eviltoast

I know money can’t buy happiness blahblahblah.

Do they do gift exchanges at all?

Do they ask for anything?

They have enough money that they could get anything made or done for them at a moment’s notice. Like having ChatGPT, but for services. Ridiculous things we couldn’t imagine.

Anyone have any insight into general trends along those lines?

    I’ve talked about it with people who are not rich themselves but who are around the mega rich because of their jobs… Apparently at a certain point, “things” lose their meaning and experiences become their new materialism. Hence why so many rich people get caught up in depraved shit that makes it on the news, because theyre down the rabbit hole of collecting wild experiences as opposed to cars or jewelry or whatever other entry level rich person stuff. Flexing becomes more about “have you been to x, have you done y” etc
