Stuff Rich People Love

Thought this was pretty funny, I did particularly like the one on suspenders and trophy wives. Enjoy.

Very funny.
The "trophy wives" guy in the picture is a very popular guy where I live,and that beach is at 10 minutes driving from my house. He's a smart businessman for sure but one lousy show off guy.
I refrain to comment about his wife...

This is like the "stuff white people like" blog and book, which was really funny.

#40 Apple Products
January 30, 2008 by clander
It is surprising that it took all the way to #40 to call out Apple products. Initially, we were planning for an entire week on Apple products, but that would just be over kill.

Plain and simple, white people don’t just like Apple, they love and need Apple to operate.

On the surface, you would ask yourself, how is that white people love a multi-billion dollar company with manufacturing plants in China, mass production, and that contributes to global pollution through the manufacture of consumer electronic devices?

Simple answer: Apple products tell the world you are creative and unique. They are an exclusive product line only used by every white college student, designer, writer, English teacher, and hipster on the planet.

You see, a long time ago Apple’s were super popular among layout artists and graphic designers. Then Apple released Final Cut Pro and became the standard for film editors. As a result, lots of creative industries used Apple computers instead of PCs. Eventually, people started making the connection, and all of a sudden all white people need to have a Mac.

When you ask white people about Mac’s they will say “oh, it’s so much better than Windows,” “it’s just easier to use,” “they are so cutting edge,” and so forth. What’s amazing is that white people NEED to meet people who use Windows to justify themselves spending an extra $500 for a pretty looking machine.

It is also important that white people are reminded of their creativity, and remember you need a Mac to creatively check email, creatively check websites, and creatively watch DVDs on planes.

White people also need iPods, iPhones, Apple TV, AirPort Express stations, and anything else that Apple will produce. Because you need to express your uniqueness by purchasing everything that a publicly traded company produces.

Apple products also come with stickers. Some people put them on their computer, some people put them on windows, but to take it to the pinnacle of whiteness, you need to put the Apple sticker in the rear window of your Prius, Jetta, BMW, Subaru 4WD Station Wagon or Audi. You then need to drive to a local coffee shop (Starbucks will do in a pinch) and set up your apple for the world to see. Thankfully, the Apple logo on the back will light up! So even in a dark place, people can see how unique and creative you (and the five other people doing the exact same thing) truly are!

Knowledge of Apple products can be useful in a number of social situations. If you see a white person with a Mac, an easy way to approach them is to say “Is that a Powerbook? What OS do you have?” They will happily start talking to you, after the requisite five minutes, you can invite them to an 80s night.

You do realize this same guy also fathered supermodel Heidi Klum's first child, then walked off.

This guy clearly has something. I don't know what it is, but I wouldn't mind some, especially 40 years from now when I too am a horny old bastard.

He really isn't. I follow F1, so I know who he is. Interesting character however. His wife is ridiculously good looking.

He also has a child with Heidi Klum.

By the looks of that pic I'd say it proves money most definitely CAN buy you good shape!!! (just not necessarily your own body!)

Agreed. In addition, these girls have their own money. Heidi must be loaded herself, so what's the draw?

wow....you must be a trillionaire....

Mr Briatore is a very smart businessman, an ice cold backstabber(he's out of F1 world for good now after what happened 3 years ago) and a briber,everyone knows that. His wife,Mrs Elisabetta Gregoraci,is a well renewed social climber and a "beep". When you are a plastic,dumb,useless good looking "beep" 10,20 or 200 millions are more that enough to cover your basic Gucci,Ferrari and LV needs....
Sorry about my bitter talk but I'm geographically very close to these two individuals and their crappy showoff lifestyle....

"Of course, when they said this, they were probably referring to economy class where the masses are crammed into uncomfortable seats with sweaty, broad shouldered, obese individuals who want to talk to you about their 2-star vacation or persistent skin rash that is likely contagious"

Hilarious!

I almost guarantee Briatore will be back in F1. Not as a team principle, but he'll be back. His ban is lifted in 2013.

"Rich people love luxury watches. Rich people know that anyone can afford a Rolex or a Cartier and that TAG Heuer makes an excellent holiday gift for the gardener. To ensure that you have something in common with rich people, conversational knowledge of Patek Philippe is required."
Funniest line it the whole thing--well, except for the honorary degree line.
