If you were rich, would you be friends with your housekeeping staff?

Or would it make awkward because you're meant to help your friends out and they might one day ask for money?

I would be friends with them.

Friends or friendly? There's a difference.

Good point. Friends means that you would hang out outside work. How many people go to a concert or go to the beach or go on a vacation with their housekeeping staff?

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Sure. And because we're on friendly terms, I would instruct security to use only minimal force if they make eye contact with me.

By eye contact you mean the eyeballs are touching? That would be gross. And awkward.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

No, but I'd pay them a shitload of money.

The guy that does our garden runs his own business and has been a friend of mine for over 20 years.
The guy that runs the building firm that does all our projects has been a friend of mine for over 20 years.
The odd job guy has been a friend of mine for over 10 years.
We are very friendly to our cleaners, but they are not our friends.

Why would I be friends with the serfs?

Me too. I'd have lots of outdoor space though.

I know a guy who’s a multi-millionaire, he lives on a 50 acre piece of land in New Mexico in a an RV.

[–] chilone (18334) 5 years ago

Ditto.

[–] Redsfan001 (6220) 5 years ago

I don't think I would hire any.

My plans are be one of those guys whose net worth is in the millions but still rents a one room apartment with little upkeep.

Don't remember the rappers name (Jay Z?) great quote "Mo money, mo problems"

I would be friendly but if we clicked as friends I would be friends..
I would pay them well but wouldn't mind them asking for help.

Isn't one of the perks of being rich being able to help out your friends and family?
It would make me happy to be able to help.
