“Just tell my assistant, and she’ll add it to my calendar. I might be out of the country that week, but I can fly in for a few hours if I have to. Thanks!”
There are some sentences that a person would never utter unless they had an extremely large bank account. But when you’re rich, you tend to forget that your lifestyle isn’t considered normal.
Redditors have been discussing privileges that wealthy people don’t even realize are “rich people things,” so we’ve gathered some of their replies down below. From flying first class to having a maid, these are luxuries that most of us could only dream about. So enjoy scrolling through, and be sure to upvote the things that you find the least relatable!

That way of planning with others kind of assuming people can take leave from work at any point and without much notice.

Having a cushy life, not having to deal with normal adult stuff at all.
I went to university with a bunch of students from well off families. They didn't have an ostentatious lifestyle, but parents bought them a one bedroom apartment, financed the education, bought them a (modest) car, paid for holidays.
They didn't have a mega rich lifestyle, but they sure never had to struggle to find an affordable place to stay or worry about how to finance all the books needed while still eating or how they were going to survive the summer breaks. (They got a cushy internship job because of connections and parents made sure they still had funds.)
After each exam, they would go somewhere to relax (SPA, Mediterranean, ski resort), while the rest of us were passed out, trying to get back together, while eating ramen noodles.
I can't imagine having such a stress free, well connected life from the beginning.

I have a niece who is clueless about finances and has always had money available to her. Growing up she would always invite her friends and cousins to very expensive restaurants on her birthday or other occasions and expect everyone to chip in at the end for the bill. She got pissed at my son when he started declining her invitation, even when he explained he couldn’t afford it.
