Just a random though I read recently......
What are some strange things the ultra wealthy tend to do?
"I often find strange the things people would rather have than money."
This house is at 24 Browntown Road in Asheville, North Carolina.
"It has five bedrooms and three kitchens.
(
24 Browntown Rd, Asheville, NC 28803)
One of the kitchens is small and seems to be part of a very nice housekeeper's suite. The other two are huge and include plenty of space for an entire culinary school.
I'm baffled by the need for so many kitchens. I understand the one in the housekeeper's suite, a little bit. But two enormous kitchens for only one family? Just one would be plenty for any well-organized caterer.
Besides, if I were so rich I could afford a $10M+ house, damned if I'm cooking anything myself. I'm hiring a chef to cook and footmen to serve and they are getting only one kitchen which I will never enter.
In the end analysis, preferences are very personal things and we all have our indulgences which are incomprehensible to others. I buy store brand jam but my in-laws like the name brand stuff. I choose subcompact cars with excellent mileage but my husband chose a pickup truck.
If I ever get so rich that I can afford a $10M+ house, I hope I will chose to stay in the house I have now and spend the money to help the children in my town get better educations. Maybe I could buy and rehabilitate houses in poor neighborhoods and open centers with video games, televisions, and tutors."
