21 People Share “Really Dumb” Hobbies That Only Rich People Seem To Like
Article created by: Vėja Elkimavičiūtė
To each their own, people often say, referring to, well, basically anything in life. And hobbies are in no way an exception. While some people spend their time enjoying the thrill of kitesurfing, others might be equally content with staying at home and doing some knitting. And who’s to say that one is better or worse than the other?
The internet community, of course. When it comes to Reddit users, for instance, they seem to approve of certain hobbies more than others; and they don’t shy away from sharing their opinions. That’s what they did after Redditor u/zer0w0rries asked the ‘Ask Reddit’ community what are some dumb hobbies mainly practiced by wealthy people. Scroll down to find the answers on the list below and see what hobbies redditors see no point in taking up.

Recording yourself giving things to the poor

Talking down on poor people with things like "stop buying coffee and you'll be rich one day"
#5
I just watched on Netflix rich Arabs cloning camels by the dozen because that first camel was really pretty.

It takes a discerning and experienced eye to know a 'pretty' camel from a 'so-so' camel.
#6
Even though I enjoy the taste, collecting ultra expensive wine and not ever drinking it. Technically it can be an investment, but if they never sell it then its not really an investment IMHO.

Better to die rich, owning wine you'll never drink, than to die poor.
#7
Golf. Let's cut this forest down so we can build hundred of km2 of field for the most boring sport in existence

i live in Germany. a guy in my neighboorhood hit the lottery, first thing he did was to fly to Russia and go Bear Hunting. I cant understand why its someones dream to do something to these beautiful animals. Almost like the movie Ghost Dog

"Don't kid yourself, Jimmy. If a bear ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about!"
#9
How is horse racing not up in the top? It is also cruel and deadly. Something like 8 horses passed away for the Derby alone this year.
#10
Fox hunting

Fox are vermin in case you didn't know. You don't want them in your hen-house.
#11
Rich christian people traveling to impoverished countries and calling it a "mission"
Raymond Core 8 months ago
Why single out 'Christian people'? Should no one travel to an impoverished country to help? Or is it Christians getting attention for doing so? Bigot, much?
#12
Breeding and showing dogs, especially the tiny ones with the weird noses and tiny heads where their brains don't even fit anymore
Raymond Core 8 months ago
Example of a dog breed where their brains don't fit? Where do they put the part of their brains that don't fit?
#13
Collecting the same Rolex in different variations. And never wearing any because it's in a safe.
Raymond Core 8 months ago
Better than stocks and bonds at increasing value without the headache of owning real estate.
#14
Playing at who builds the biggest rocket to 'colonize other planets'
Raymond Core 8 months ago
There's only one competitor so it's not really a contest. I don't think this qualifies as a dumb rich people hobby.
#15
people that collect luxury clothing brands and shoes and than never wear them.
Raymond Core 8 months ago
You'd rather they didn't spend money? Lots of people make a living in the fashion industry.
#16
Buying solid gold toilets and other items
#17
Buying an expensive car and then keeping it in your garage without ever actually driving it.
#18
Being cheap. One of my friends has the money to buy the restaurants we eat at, but if we split an item she’ll fraction out how much she puts towards it. “I only ate 1 slice of pizza and there are 6 in total, so I’ll put down 1/6.” She also factors this into tipping. Drives me mental.
#19
Making one dollar bets with other rich people that disrupts and ruins normal people's lives. Social experiments and such.
Basically using regular people as playthings.
Raymond Core 8 months ago
Oh, you saw the movie 'Trading Places'. Is this really a hobby? How would you know if rich people were making one dollar bets?
#20
12 metre yacht racing. Like standing fully clothed in a cold shower and tearing up hundred dollar bills. By the million.
#21
Collecting high-end trading cards. Even worse is buying high-end unopened boxes/cases to open. Drake spent an estimated $200k on unopened cases looking for [one specific card.]
