I friend recently sold his company and asked me if there was a list out there of what he can now buy with his newfound money. Why isn’t a list of items you can consider now that you are rich? Nobody pats you on the back and says welcome to the rich club.
I have several friends now who had 7 and 8 figure exits so I decided to just ask them as well as look at my own spending since I had a little extra cash. They all seem to have a few ideas but no one had a really comprehensive list.
So I will start that list.
Note that “merely” being famous will be a different and likely shorter list.
