15 Favorite Hobbies of the Richest People in the World
Leisure activities and hobbies are common ways for each of us to relax and recharge, but not all hobbies are similar, and not all hobbies are the same. While most of us would like to cycle through the woods or take a long bike ride on weekends, it seems that the rich must have their own yachts for their trips.
15. Skiing
Skiing
has existed since prehistory, first as a means of transportation, and then as
an auxiliary means of winter military operations, but it was not until the last
three centuries that skiing naturally became today's sports and entertainment
activities. Nowadays, skiing is one of many people's favorite outdoor
activities, especially the richest and most famous people in the world.
Rumor
has it that the famous Roman Abramovich even wants to buy the whole resort of
the famous French ski resort of Courchevel le.
14. Flying

Flying
is a childhood dream of many people, but few people later develop the resources
to realize it. We're not talking about the skills here, we're talking about the
money needed to learn how to fly and own airplanes.
Getting
a ppl (private pilot license) starts at about $10000, and the number of people
who own a plane will increase to thousands, often more than $100000 for a very basic and old model like Cessna 172 Skyhawk, and only needs a second-hand
plane. From then on, prices will only go up.
Given
this fact, it makes sense to think that only the rich and famous can become a
hobby. After all, they always put their heads in the sky, don't they? Think of
Bruce Dickinson and his band, the iron lady, the tourist plane, a Boeing 747
called ed force one.
13. Golf

is one of the sports favored by many rich and famous people? From actor Clint
Eastwood to Donald Trump, some of the world's most senior golf club members are
the stuff of the rich.
12. Polo

As
a gentleman's movement, especially its appeal to several generations of royal
families, Polo is no surprise on this list. This is a rich and exquisite
classic game, but also an expensive hobby.
Polo
needs a certain degree of erudition, higher than most other ordinary sports
there, and not just that much money, because it's not cheap to buy a horse and
pay for full membership of the polo club.
11. Hunting

Hunting
may seem like your normal hobby - because there's no fancy or expensive going
out in the woods, but it can't be true. The speed of hunting is very fast.
Depending on the country, owning a gun may have become a costly business.
Then
add in the cost of safari taxes and expedition fees, and your wallet will soon
start to empty. In addition, if one wants to find something more exotic, such
as large-scale hunting in Africa, the cost will be greater.
10. Reading

We're
not sure if the richest people in the world have time and money to read, or if
they have time and money to read. But reading is really one of the favorite
hobbies of some of the richest people on earth.
While
reading doesn't have to be an expensive hobby - unless you build a huge library
for yourself, it's a person who develops good thinking and good thinking, a necessary skill for businesses and the world of wealth.
9. Charity

Philanthropy
maybe one of the most common habits of the rich, with some sources claiming
that more than 50% of the world rich are committed to it. You must have heard
of many charitable foundations around the world, which are run by some rich
people.
The reasons for this hobby may be very subjective. Some people even point out
the psychological needs for feeling good about themselves, but we have to admit
that philanthropy needs a lot of money.
8. Sailing

Another
wonderful sport is unbearable and very unbearable. From renting small sailboats
to owning large fancy yachts, sailing is a sport that most rich people can use.
Many famous names like George Clooney are lucky people. They do it for a hobby.
Although
sailing is a noble sport, owning a yacht and partying in the Caribbean, all the
good ladies dancing on deck are less athletic and more amateur, but still very
expensive.
7. Racing car

15 Favorite Hobbies of the Richest People in the World |
Driving
a car is a hobby for those rich and adventurous souls who need to stimulate
adrenaline through their blood vessels. Running a few laps on a super high-speed, high-performance machine may not be pleasant, but it will certainly
add a lot of excitement to their lives.
On the other hand, this hobby will take a lot of money out of their wallets,
because it takes only a few minutes on the track to absorb 1000 dollars.
Everyone wants more than a few minutes of pure happiness, doesn't he?
6. Collection

15 Favorite Hobbies of the Richest People in the World |
From
art and antiques to watches, jewelry, and classic cars & bike, collecting is a hobby in
itself. While it's not necessarily an expensive hobby reserved only for the
rich, sometimes it can become one. You can collect stamps or you can collect
classic cars and World War II fighters.
But
once you start using it, finding more and more high-value items will push the
hobby further and further to the expensive side. This is where things start to
get very interesting.
5. Riding a horse

Although
many people in the world think running and fitness is a difficult thing, most
rich people think it is a healthy habit. And they usually stick with it,
whether they're actors, they need to be at their best, or they just need
healthy businessmen.
Well,
you may think it doesn't need to be done by wealthy people, but what if you
have a top equipped gym?
2.

Although
almost all sports used to be practical, the mountain climbing did not. It's
something invented by the aristocrats to separate themselves from others.
Today, more and more people like hiking, hiking, and mountaineering, but so far,
high altitude mountaineering is still the business of the rich.
Climbing
some of the most famous earth summits come at a huge cost, and now it can cost
as much as $35.000.

Travel
is becoming ubiquitous. With the development of technology, the cost of
transportation is decreasing, and holidays are becoming cheaper and cheaper.
However, there are still not many people who can afford to travel for more than
a few weeks every year.
But
the richest people in the world have time and ways to spend months traveling,
so it's a hobby in itself. First-class air tickets, exquisite destinations, and
luxurious hotel rooms are just part of the trip for wealthy people.
