18 hobbies that only the rich can afford.
Everyone should have hobbies they do outside of their professional lives. Hobbies like running, painting, or knitting are all options that aren't super expensive. However, your hobby can also tell where you live on the class hierarchy.
On a popular Reddit thread in the Ask Reddit Subreddit, people share hobbies that scream 'YOU'RE RICH.'
1. Mycatnina says:
Tennis. Even though tennis isn't super expensive, that's where all the millionaires/their kids are.
2. Awkward_Trouble4955 says:
I work for Porsche. Many clients have racetrack memberships where they garage their cars and have track days. $80-90k initiation fee, $10k annual fee for some memberships.
3. VapoursAndSpleen says:
My neighbor is a yachtsman who makes a middle class living racing rich people's yachts. So, I would say hiring people to indulge your hobbies is about as 1 percent as one can get.
4. _Cheezus says:
Polo
5. ValueAppropriate293 says
Summering. Only rich people will ask another person where they 'summer.'
6. CoolAbdul says:
Flying to F1 races.
7. AcornTopHat says:
A friend of ours got a wildly expensive cappuccino machine from his wife for Christmas. She didn’t think there was room for it in their huge gourmet kitchen, so they had a whole coffee station with cabinets and drawers and a built in mini fridge and marble countertops installed in the adjoining breakfast area.
This was all because they 'got tired of driving to Starbucks twice a day.' Oh, and they sent us home with an XBox One the other night because they just bought whatever the new one is and 'had no use' for it.

Bartender here. Two very cute girls from out of town sat at my bar. An equally cute guy walks in. Immediately buys them drinks. His opener was, 'so how often do you gals boat.' They were from f*cking Philly. When he said that, I couldn't hold my smirk back. He also tipped me like 130 dollars for three Jameson cokes.
9. P00PMcBUTTS says:
We had a meet and greet with a new executive at my company, and she told us one of her hobbies is 'investing in real estate.'
10. Beelloi says:
My granddad belonged in a country club. My extremely affluent uncle enjoys building and flying his own aircraft as a hobby.

About an hour ago I saw an ad for a farmer’s market in a part of town that is basically just a rich people shopping district, and it’s THURSDAY at 8 AM-11 AM. Nothing screams 'This is only for people with money' than being scheduled for the time when most people work. And the fact that it had tons of white ladies commenting ready to go after brunch solidified that.
