My dad's client bought a whole block of houses to build theirs. It is so wide that they installed a moving walkway like the ones at airports.

我爸有個(gè)客戶把整棟街區(qū)的房子都買了下來造他們自己家的房子。那個(gè)房子寬到他們得往里放一個(gè)像機(jī)場里的那種橫向的滾梯。

They were probably like, “Well we have an elevator for up & down, so how about sideways elevator for lefty righty?”

他們可能想的是，“好吧我們現(xiàn)在有上下走的電梯了，所以要不要左右走的電梯也整一個(gè)？

Lets put some front-to-back, and diagonal ones as well while we are at it!

反正還在裝修，再整點(diǎn)兒前后走，對(duì)角線走的電梯好啦！

Owner of a company I worked for. Bought a mansion, then bought the surrounding mansions… just so he wouldn’t have neighbors.

我之前工作的一家公司的一個(gè)老板。買了棟豪宅，然后把周圍的豪宅都給買下來了……這樣他就不會(huì)有鄰居了。

My dad’s client did this with three houses too. She lived with just her husband and for some reason needed three houses with hallways in between..

我爸爸的客戶也像這樣買了三棟房子。她只和自己的丈夫住在一起，但不知道為什么他們兩人就是需要一套中間有走廊連著的三棟房子……

My boss bought a lake house and also bought the multi-million dollar lake house next to his so he could demolish it to build a helipad for the helicopter he takes to work every day (an hour drive is too much for this man)

我的老板買了個(gè)湖景房，還買了隔壁一棟好幾百萬的湖景房，好讓他把房子拆了改成直升機(jī)停機(jī)坪，他坐直升機(jī)上下班（開一個(gè)小時(shí)的車對(duì)這個(gè)人來說太慢了）

They don’t even have that in the airports where I live. We just have to walk around. :(

我住的地方的機(jī)場都沒有那種扶梯，我們只能靠腿到處走。

I’m just starting out as a deckhand and I’m excited

My dad works in shipping and has a lot of friends who have worked on super yachts. In the 90s one of his mates got a call up to bring the yacht of a particular Australian media tycoon billionaire (not that one) from Sydney to New York, with instructions to be anchored in a particular bay at an exact time with a lunch spread for 50 people ready. So they got there and set up the food. The guy never showed up. Turns out he was having a rich dude party in a building overlooking the harbour and wanted to be able to point down and say “that’s my boat”. He wanted the lunch just in case he decided to take his rich friends down to his yacht, but he didn’t feel like it that day, so all the food got wasted and they sailed back to Aus without seeing him.

我爸在航運(yùn)行業(yè)工作，他有很多朋友曾經(jīng)在超級(jí)豪華游艇上工作。在90年代，他有個(gè)朋友接了個(gè)電話，說要把某位澳大利亞媒體巨鱷的游艇（不是那個(gè)）從悉尼開到紐約，指令是在幾點(diǎn)幾分準(zhǔn)時(shí)?？吭谀硞€(gè)船務(wù)，上面要有足夠五十個(gè)人吃的午餐。于是他們把船開過去，把餐都備好。但那個(gè)人一直都沒出現(xiàn)。結(jié)果他那天是在一個(gè)能俯瞰整個(gè)港口的建筑里開富人派對(duì)，他那天想要從窗戶往下一指，然后說“那是我的船”。他讓午餐準(zhǔn)備好，是保證假如他想要帶有錢朋友們下樓去艇上的話也可以吃午餐，但他那天不是很想這么做，所以這些食物就都浪費(fèi)了，他們連這個(gè)人一眼都沒見到就坐船回紐約了。

A friend did some work on Sylvester Stallone's home. Apparently there's a ton of statues and art of himself, some of which are naked and very well endowed

我有個(gè)朋友給史泰龍家做過裝修。那里有大量他自己的塑像和畫作，有一些是全裸的，并且是別人捐給他的。

Duanedoberman
I heard an interview on the radio from a guy who was from my hometown in the UK who was Stallone's personal chef in the 90s. He said Stallone was a nice guy, he had something in his house where he could watch the amount of tickets his films was selling in live time so knew almost immediately whether it was a flop or not.

我聽過一個(gè)我英國老鄉(xiāng)的電臺(tái)采訪，他在90年代是史泰龍的私人廚師。他說史泰龍是個(gè)好人，他在家里裝了個(gè)什么東西，他可以用那個(gè)實(shí)時(shí)觀看自己的電影票房買了多少，所以他能立刻知道自己的片拍的好不好。

He was married to Bridget Neilson at the time and this chef said she was walking about topless or naked all the time which he thought was strange until she walked up to him one time when Stallone was out and offered it to him on a plate. He politely declined because he liked Stallone and they were divorced a few years later so there may have been other things going on.

當(dāng)時(shí)他娶了布麗吉特·內(nèi)爾森，這位主廚說她總是不穿上衣或者全身赤裸地到處走，他覺得挺怪的，直到有一天在史泰龍出門的時(shí)候她走到他面前向他發(fā)出誘惑。他禮貌地拒絕了，因?yàn)樗X得史泰龍這人挺好的，并且過了幾年之后他們就離婚了，所以可能當(dāng)時(shí)發(fā)生了各種各樣的事情。

I am an art student working as a gardener. We work in one of the wealthiest areas in my country. Some customers are really eager to show me their collection of artworks that they have hanging on their walls once they find out that I study it.

I used to work for a billionaire Russian family as a tutor for their daughter. One day we’re in her room studying and suddenly she yells “daddy’s home!” and runs to the window. She’d heard a helicopter and knew is was about to land on the lawn.

我曾經(jīng)給一個(gè)俄羅斯的億萬富豪家庭當(dāng)女兒的家庭教師。有一天我們?cè)谒块g里學(xué)習(xí)，突然她大喊“爸爸回來啦！”，然后跑到窗戶邊，她聽見了直升機(jī)的聲音，知道是直升機(jī)要落到草坪上了。

I used to do pool and spa maintenance in my 20s. I worked on one property with a mountainside, 10 bedroom/14 bath mansion, with a saltwater pool, tennis courts, guest mansion, and a servants house that was 4 bedroom 5 bath. The property had so much more stuff, but that isn't the crazy thing.

我20多歲的時(shí)候做泳池和spa的維護(hù)工作。我在一個(gè)山景房工作，那是個(gè)有10間臥室和14個(gè)洗手間的豪宅，有咸水泳池，網(wǎng)球場，客房，和四室五衛(wèi)的仆人房間的大豪宅。那個(gè)房子里還有很多東西，但都不是最厲害的。

I worked on this property for 2 years, year round, 5 days a week, and not a single person was ever there. The middle aged, single woman that owned it lived in a city about 4 hours away and just didn't come to the property, because she was so busy with work. A multi-multi-multi-million dollar compound, just empty. All the time.

我在這個(gè)房子里工作了兩年，全年工作，每周五天，但這間房子沒住過一個(gè)人。這棟房子的主人，那個(gè)住在城里的中年單身女性離這里只有四個(gè)小時(shí)的車程，但她從來沒來住過，因?yàn)樗ぷ魈α?。一個(gè)不知道多少百萬的建筑復(fù)合體，空的。一直是空的。

Finally, after 2 years, I got a call from my boss on my day off. He asked if I could go to the house to put some pool floats away. He apologized, because it was my day off, but said the owner would pay me $500 to go put them away. I was confused as to why there were even pool floats out anyway, because nobody was ever there, but I figured fuck it; $500 for 10 minutes. I show up to the house and the woman's adult children were staying at the house with about 10+ kids between them all, and they were having a massive pool party/cookout. I awkwardly walked up and said to one of the parents, "Sorry, it must have been a mistake, but I was told to come put pool floats away, but you're obviously here so I'll leave." Presumably the woman's adult son said, "Oh, no, we're getting ready to leave. You can take them." Then he instructed the kids to push them towards me. I literally grabbed one inner tube float and 4 pool noodles, brought them 10 feet into the pool house, and put them away. I, confusedly, said they were all set and went to leave. The son thanked me and handed me a folded mass of $20 bills. It was $400. I was expecting $500 from my boss for payment, but I figured $400 cash was still overpayment, so I didn't mention it. The next day at work, my boss gave me $1,000. I told him the son had already paid me $400, which was fine. He said the son told the woman how great a job I did, so she wanted to pay me $1000 instead of $500 and the $400 was a tip from her son.

最終，過了兩年的時(shí)間，我放假的時(shí)候從老板那里接了個(gè)電話。他問我能不能去那個(gè)房子里把水床清理干凈。他道了歉，因?yàn)槟翘煳曳偶?，但他說業(yè)主愿意給我500美元。我當(dāng)時(shí)就很困惑，為什么根本沒有人住的地方泳池里還能有水床，但我后來想去他娘的，干十分鐘活掙500美元。我到了房子里，發(fā)現(xiàn)那個(gè)女人已經(jīng)成年的孩子帶著十多個(gè)孩子住在那個(gè)房子里，并且他們正在過規(guī)模超大的泳池派對(duì)/戶外烹飪。我尷尬地走到其中一個(gè)家長面前，“抱歉，肯定是搞錯(cuò)了，但有人告訴我來把泳池里的臟東西弄干凈，但你們顯然還在這里，那我還是走吧?！蹦莻€(gè)女人已經(jīng)成年的兒子說，“哦，不，我們正打算走呢，你可以收拾了。”然后他告訴孩子們把那些東西推給我。我就拿著一個(gè)救生圈和四個(gè)泡沫軸，送到了離泳池10英尺的儲(chǔ)藏間里，然后收納好。我有點(diǎn)摸不著頭腦地跟他說一切都搞定了，打算走人。那個(gè)兒子感謝了我，然后給了我一沓20美元的鈔票，一共400美元。我以為會(huì)是和我老板說的那樣給我500美元，但我覺得400美元還是給的太多了，所以我就沒提這件事。第二天上班的時(shí)候老板給了我1000美元。我跟他說她兒子已經(jīng)給了我400美元了，已經(jīng)夠了。他說他兒子跟那個(gè)女人講了我做的工作有多么出色，所以她打算給我付1000美元而不是500美元。那400美元是她兒子另給的小費(fèi)。

For 10 minutes of work.... She actually called my boss the next day to ask if she should reimburse me for gas, since it was 15 minutes from my house. I told him that I was all set.

就10分鐘的工作量……她甚至第二天還給我老板打了個(gè)電話，問她需不需要補(bǔ)貼一下我的油錢，因?yàn)樗译x我住的地方要15分鐘。我說我真的夠用了。

I briefly worked with one of the top Saudi Arabian crown princes in the 80’s. He would buy out the top three floors of the best hotels (Four Seasons etc); two floors were for maids/help/security, top floor was for the Royal family… once it was only the prince and his three wives. Crazy shit.

我在80年代曾短暫地和沙特的某位王子工作過。他會(huì)買下最好的酒店的最頂上三層樓（比如四季酒店之類的）；下面兩層給女傭人，助手和安保人員，最頂層給皇室成員……一共只有親王和他的三個(gè)老婆。真他媽瘋了。

Another time i was serving a table i was asked to bring a tray of sixty patron shots ($600, for a 19 year old student) i must have had an incredulous look on my face because his only response to assuage my concern was "my father owns diamond mines in africa"

I used to work for a company that modified aircraft for really rich people. I’m talking 747s, not gulfstreams.

我曾經(jīng)在一個(gè)為真的非常有錢的那些人定制客機(jī)的服務(wù)。不是灣流那種私人飛機(jī)，是747那種。

This company had made several aircraft for this one customer, who I was told had purchased a new one solely because his spiritual advisor had told him that one of his current planes was bad luck. He still let his wife use it for her personal travel.

這家公司給某一位客戶定制了好幾架飛機(jī)，有人告訴我他買一架新飛機(jī)的唯一原因是他的精神導(dǎo)師告訴他現(xiàn)在他名下的某一家飛機(jī)會(huì)給他帶來厄運(yùn)。他就讓他老婆坐那架飛機(jī)旅行。

To me, one of the most exquisite features of these planes wasn’t the gold plated everything, or rare wood veneers, it was the silk carpet. That stuff cost over $1,000 per square foot and feels like walking on a bed of angel feathers harvested in the most inhumane way possible. Granted, these guys don’t deck out the whole plane, just their personal areas (the aft third is usually reserved for staff and such and is more like a fancy economy class), but yeah… silk carpet.

對(duì)我而言，那些飛機(jī)最奢侈的特點(diǎn)不是到處貼的金箔，也不是罕見的木料做成的飾面，而是絲綢做的地毯。那東西每平方英尺的造價(jià)都超過1000美元，踩上去感覺就像是在用最慘無人道的方式摘下來的天使羽毛做成的床上行走。雖然這幫人不會(huì)把整架飛機(jī)都裝修一遍，只給他們私人區(qū)域裝修（機(jī)尾的三分之一通常是給工作人員之類保留的，并且更像是比較華麗的經(jīng)濟(jì)艙），但沒錯(cuò)……絲綢地毯。

I went to a New England prep school for high school on a full ride sports scholarship.

我拿了全額獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金去新英格蘭讀預(yù)科。

There were a decent amount of foreign national students - mainly from Asia, that came from EXTREMELY wealthy families. One of those students parents bought him a brand new BMW 5 series - fully loaded, when he got his license our Junior year.

那里有不少外籍留學(xué)生——絕大多數(shù)是亞洲人，來自極度富有的家庭。其中一個(gè)學(xué)生的家長給他買了一輛嶄新的寶馬5系——在高二那年他考上駕照之后。

When we graduated a year later, he was going back to Korea and obviously couldn’t take the car, so he gave it to his best friend…kid got an $80k car at 17 years old, just for being good friends with the right guy! I’ll never forget that.

我們一年后畢業(yè)的時(shí)候，他要回韓國了，顯然沒辦法把車也一起帶回去，所以他就把這輛車給了他最好的朋友……那孩子在17歲那年就收到了一輛80000美元的車，唯一的原因就是交對(duì)了朋友！我這輩子也忘不了。

Craziest thing I've seen - brand new 90 metre multimillion pound (GBP) yacht was built in Netherlands. Maiden voyage to Antibes in France. Owner came onboard and left after a few hours. Next week we get sent to Genoa Italy, where all the bathrooms onboard were ripped out and upgraded.

I tutored a wealthy 5 year old. I got paid good money to spend an hour drawing and coloring and playing with this kindergartener but all in French. He had been to more places in the world by 5 than I’ll ever go to in my whole lifetime probably. The best part of the job were the perks, though. They would take me and my SO out to dinner at fancy restaurants and pay the bill no matter what it was. They would invite us over to eat some delicacy they prepared (wife was Chinese/Vietnamese, husband was Indian) and they’d always have some house guest staying with some crazy resume, for example, one time they had a diplomat for the Netherlands there to do business. They had houses in my city and in San Francisco and would fly there all the time. They invited me on several occasions but I never had time to go.

我給一個(gè)非常有錢的5歲大的孩子當(dāng)私教。我的工作是花一個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間和這個(gè)幼兒園小孩畫畫上色一起玩游戲，但全部用法語。他們給我豐厚的薪酬。五歲的他去過的地方比我這輩子可能去過的都多。我最喜歡的是工作以外的額外待遇。他們?cè)敢鈳液臀野閭H去一些非常奢侈的餐廳，不論多少錢都是他們請(qǐng)客。他們會(huì)請(qǐng)我們?nèi)ゼ依锲穱L他們準(zhǔn)備的美食（夫人是華裔/越南裔，丈夫是印度裔），他們家里總是會(huì)有那種簡歷無比牛逼的人過夜，比如有一次他們請(qǐng)了一個(gè)荷蘭的外交官過來做生意。他們?cè)谖易〉某鞘泻团f金山都有房子，經(jīng)常往這邊飛，他們好幾次都邀請(qǐng)我去一些社交場合，但我從來都沒時(shí)間去。

I also befriended and stayed with the daughter of Russian oligarchs who lived in Paris. The mom was a famous writer and the dad did something in business. Their grandfather was a famous Soviet writer and so in general they lived a very cultured life. They lived in the richest part of Paris called Neuilly-sur-Seine and had houses in the Alps, Crimea and Moscow. The crazy part, or rather sad part, was that she only had a few options for a career. She could be a doctor, a lawyer, or a businesswoman. Their son was lucky enough to study at the Geneva conservatory but that was only because he was really talented. In this family, if you didn’t have a natural artistic talent you only had those three career prospects to chose from. I had the impression that she was rather depressed about how limited her options were and how much pressure was put on her to succeed.

我還和一個(gè)在巴黎居住的俄羅斯寡頭的女兒成為了朋友。她的母親是著名的作家，父親在商業(yè)上有所涉獵。他們的祖父是蘇聯(lián)時(shí)期有名的作家，所以總地來說他們的生活非常有文化氛圍。他們住在巴黎最富有的地方，塞納河畔納依區(qū)，在阿爾卑斯山，克里米亞和莫斯科都有房子，最厲害的，或者說最令人難過的，是她的生涯只有幾條路可以走，她可以當(dāng)醫(yī)生，律師，或者女企業(yè)家。他們家的兒子非常幸運(yùn)可以在日內(nèi)瓦音樂學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)，但那是因?yàn)樗娴姆浅Ｓ胁湃A。在這個(gè)家庭里，假如你沒有與生自來的藝術(shù)天賦，那么你就只能挑幾樣規(guī)劃好的生涯了。我感覺她對(duì)于自己的選項(xiàng)如此受限非常難過，并且她成功的壓力也非常大。

Was invited to a Christmas Dinner while i lived in Seoul by an extremely wealthy Korean family. Very nice family but I think in hindsight they wanted to show their friends that they had foreign friends like me. Wife had everything catered and the home professionally decorated - it felt like we were in a department store. Multiple Christmas trees, a working train set, staff handing out appetizers on plates etc. It looked like she studied Christmas movies from the USA and copied everything.

我在首爾居住的時(shí)候被一個(gè)非常富有的韓國家庭邀請(qǐng)過去吃圣誕晚宴。那家人很好，但我后來想了一下覺得他們只不過是想要向朋友們展示一下他們有我這樣的外國朋友而已。那位夫人親自準(zhǔn)備好了一切，并且家里也裝飾得很專業(yè)——感覺我們就像在一個(gè)百貨大樓里一樣。好幾個(gè)圣誕樹，能跑的小火車，工作人員拿盤子分發(fā)開胃甜點(diǎn)，等等。好像她是從美國的圣誕電影里學(xué)來的這一切，然后全都照搬過來了。

Dinner is served on a comically long table with 2 huge oven roasted Turkeys and all of the trimmings - they looked perfect. I was later told that Koreans don't like turkey & were just for decoration - they would be thrown out later. We ate Korean food. The family said I could take a turkey home and that the caterer would drop it off with anything else I wanted.

晚宴在一個(gè)長得夸張的桌子上進(jìn)行，上面有兩只巨大的用爐子烤好的火雞，各種配料看上去非常完美，后來他們告訴我韓國人不喜歡吃火雞，那兩只雞只是放在那里當(dāng)裝飾的——馬上就要扔了。我們吃的還是韓國料理。那家人說我可以把火雞帶回家，并且承辦酒席的人保證可以順帶把我想要的東西都送給我。

I was a software engineer while most of my friends are/were in grad school/med school/working low-paying jobs, so I’ve enjoyed being able to chip in or get nice things for them when they said they couldn’t. I do always make sure they’re ok with it and ask if I can in advance so nobody ends up uncomfortable.

我自己并不是什么超級(jí)富豪，但我覺得送禮很有用，并且我也更愿意把我的錢花在一個(gè)超級(jí)酷的禮物上，送給能派的上用場的朋友，而不是買個(gè)我自己不需要的東西。我是個(gè)軟件工程師，但我的朋友們基本都是在讀研究生，或是讀醫(yī)學(xué)，或是在薪水不高的行業(yè)工作，所以我很喜歡在他們說沒錢買什么東西的時(shí)候給他們買個(gè)好東西。但我保證會(huì)提前確認(rèn)他們可以接受，并且我也會(huì)提前問一聲我可不可以買，這樣沒人會(huì)覺得不舒服。

I did IT work for a tiny little private company like the owner, his brother, and me. guy called because his new pc wouldn't turn on and it's like 3pm he was 100% willing to pay for me to drive 5 hours one way to get it working today because he wanted to play games today. Ok so 5 hour road trip one way and the address is this huge fucking mansion 100% thought I was in the wrong place. Use the intercom at the gate and nope this is the place, guy and his wife are really cool and the dude had built his own gaming rig... it was absolutely over the top, I had never even laid eyes on hardware that expensive before... he never turned the power switch on his PSU on... he payed the base rate of $1400 for me to come out there to flip a switch I also installed his graphic drivers but that was technically free, and then gave me $5000 cash as a tip all because he was excited to play league of legends on his new pc.

我曾經(jīng)給一個(gè)非常小的私企做IT，差不多就老板，他兄弟和我三個(gè)人。老板給我打了個(gè)電話說他新買的電腦開不了機(jī)了，當(dāng)時(shí)是下午三點(diǎn)，他100%樂意給我錢讓我開5個(gè)小時(shí)的車去今天把它修好，因?yàn)樗裉炀拖氪蛴螒?。好吧所以我開了五個(gè)小時(shí)的車，結(jié)果地址是這個(gè)血媽大的大豪宅，我100%覺得我走錯(cuò)地方了。用門口的對(duì)講問了一下，結(jié)果真的是這個(gè)地方，老板和他老婆人特別好，那哥們?cè)炝藗€(gè)自己的游戲主機(jī)……頂配中的頂配，我這輩子還沒親眼見過這么牛逼的硬件……結(jié)果他沒把機(jī)箱電源的開關(guān)打開……他為我跑過來給他開了個(gè)開關(guān)付了我1400美元，我還給他裝了顯卡驅(qū)動(dòng)，但那基本上是免費(fèi)的，然后他給了我5000美元的小費(fèi)，因?yàn)樗K于能在自己的新電腦上玩英雄聯(lián)盟了。

There's something hilarious about having a super expensive battle station decked out with everything one could need, and then using that to play League of Legends. None of the games that have crazy hardware requirements and offer crazy graphics, he went with the game that's known for running on a toaster. Good for him.

拿能買到的最好的東西造一個(gè)超級(jí)貴的主機(jī)，然后拿這個(gè)主機(jī)去打英雄聯(lián)盟還蠻可笑的。不玩任何一個(gè)需要極高硬件配置，提供極高畫面的游戲，他卻去玩一個(gè)烤面包機(jī)都能玩的游戲。開心就好吧。

Damn that’s like more money I make in a few months

媽的你這賺的比我好幾個(gè)月的都多。

It was absurd I normally made about $2200-3000 a month at the time depending on how much work we got. I felt like I was robbing the guy but he was insistent. EDIT: It paid for the rest of my college.

真的太五里頭了，我當(dāng)時(shí)一個(gè)月能掙2200-3000美元，取決于工作量有多少。我感覺我想是在搶劫那個(gè)人，但他堅(jiān)持這么給。編輯：這筆錢被我拿去交大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)了。

I used to ‘work’ for an Arab billionaire’s son, a Daddy’s money guy, terrible garbage human being.

我曾經(jīng)給一個(gè)阿拉伯億萬富豪的兒子“打工”，拿爸爸的錢的人，非常糟糕的垃圾。

Once saw him spend $16 000 on a wallet, was a fancy one with little gold spikes on it and stuff. He had shoes with gold on them.

有一次看見他買錢包花了16000美元，那個(gè)錢包挺奢侈的，上面有金子做的小刺兒什么的。他還有鑲金子的鞋。

I remember one year for his birthday he received like 30+ cakes, big fancy cakes and he told us to leave them on the floor in the hallway outside his room.

我記得有一年生日他收到了三十多個(gè)蛋糕，又大又華麗的蛋糕，他告訴我們把蛋糕放在他房間外頭走廊的地板上。

We walked by those cakes every day for two weeks waiting for instruction, after the two weeks we were told to throw them away.

兩個(gè)星期以來我們每天都走過那些蛋糕，等著指示，兩星期之后他告訴我們把蛋糕扔了。

My college roommate was from a pretty wealthy family in Thailand, but his friend was from “the 8th richest family in Thailand.” One day I was sitting on the couch exhausted after working a 14 hour shift when they came in giggling about how the guy just bought a $9000 jacket.

我大學(xué)時(shí)的室友是泰國一個(gè)挺有錢的家庭的孩子，但他的朋友是“泰國第八有錢的家庭”的孩子。有一天我換班工作了14個(gè)小時(shí)之后坐在沙發(fā)上累的像條狗，然后他們走進(jìn)家門笑呵呵地討論那個(gè)人剛買的9000美元的夾克。

I’ll never forget that feeling. That was pretty much exactly how much money I was killing myself to make to pay my tuition that semester.

我永遠(yuǎn)也忘不了當(dāng)時(shí)那種感覺。那差不多正好就是那個(gè)學(xué)期累得要死要活掙來的學(xué)費(fèi)。

One of my friend's parents won a $50 million lottery. We used to work together in the few years we knew each other before that happened so they know of the struggle of spending most of your days working in food service to earn a few grand a month. Fortunately they haven't changed as a person so I still like spending time with them. But it was hard to watch someone I used to be in the same boat spend more money than I make in two months on a bag last time we went shopping (well, they did - I couldn't afford the air in the places we visited).

我一個(gè)朋友的家人中了5000萬的彩票。

Keith Urban tipped me $7 on a $4 shake and left the keys to his Bentley at the store but he came back and got them.

凱斯·厄本有次在我這買了4美元的奶昔，給了我7美元的小費(fèi)，他把他的賓利鑰匙落在店里了，但回來之后找到了鑰匙。

Keith also bought a couple of guitar pedals for a local kid here in one of the guitar shops. Kid had a budget and was struggling to pick one, so Keith just bought them both for the kid by quietly paying the shop owner on the way out the door, before the kid even knew what he’d done. By all reports he’s a genuine decent, down to earth bloke.

凱斯還在這里的吉他店里給當(dāng)?shù)禺?dāng)?shù)囊粋€(gè)孩子買過一套吉他效果器。那孩子預(yù)算吃緊，正在猶豫挑哪個(gè)好，于是凱斯就在出門的時(shí)候悄悄地幫那個(gè)孩子把兩個(gè)都買了下來，孩子還沒反應(yīng)過來有這回事。所有人都說他是個(gè)很好很高貴，又接地氣的嗯。

Shaq used to come into my guitar store every once in a while to buy DJ equipment and it was not uncommon for him to point at a kid playing a nice guitar and say “I wanna pay for that, too.”

奧尼爾曾經(jīng)每過一陣子就來一趟我的吉他店買DJ設(shè)備，他經(jīng)常指一指正在試彈一把很好的琴的孩子，然后說“我也想把那把琴買了?！?/b>

WarsledSonarman
Shaq is a legendary tipper and quiet humanitarian like that. He’ll grab something small to eat and leave a $100 tip.

奧尼爾給小費(fèi)從來都很慷慨，他是個(gè)安靜的慈善家。他會(huì)買份很小的東西吃，卻留下100美元的小費(fèi)。

I’m still picturing enough food to feed three people

我仍然在想象能喂飽三個(gè)人的食物。

I think he might legally be classified as three people.

我覺得把他算成三個(gè)人確實(shí)是合理合法的。

I had a classmate whom's father or mother was filthy rich from family money cant remember.

我有個(gè)同班同學(xué)，他的父親還是母親賊有錢，記不清是怎么回事了。

But they and he were amazing people. In uni this girl in class who was really nice but also came from a poor family dropped her macbook she worked 60 hours a week for 3 months in the summer.

但他們一家和他都是很棒的人。在大學(xué)里我們班有個(gè)女孩人特別好，但家境不好，她不小心把macbook摔到地上了，那個(gè)筆記本是她這個(gè)夏天每周工作60小時(shí)工作了3個(gè)月才攢夠錢買的。

He just came up, gave her his macbook, and said he would just get a new one after school and his parents wouldnt care. Pure generousity there was no tiktok movie or karma whoring going on.

于是他走上前來，把自己的macbook送給了她，說他自己下課之后買個(gè)新的就行了，反正父母也不在乎。真的是純粹的善意，沒人在拍抖音視頻或者為了積德做善事什么的。

He was a stellar dude spending his parents money but only on stuff for other people and in a nice helpfull way.

他是個(gè)非常善良的好人，雖然花的是父母的錢，但是只花在給其他人買東西上，并且方式也非常友善。

He also gave all the guys in class a suit for graduation. lots of the people where talking about renting one and stuff and he told everybody he knew a place to rent real nice suits, we all went there and we all rented a suit for 100 euros or so everything included and when you went to return it we found out they were all payed for by this dude.

畢業(yè)那天他還給所有男生都做了一套西裝。好多人都在討論到哪能租一套之類的，他跟所有人說他知道有個(gè)地方能租特別棒的西裝，于是我們都過去花100歐元左右租了一套，該有的都有，結(jié)果用完還衣服的時(shí)候我們才知道那哥們已經(jīng)把這些衣服全買下來了。

He was like renting a suit is stupid, but buying a suit is expensive now you got best of both worlds.

他就覺得租的衣服怪丑的，但買一套又太貴了，所以小孩子才做選擇，他都要。

last thing I heard he bought like 10 ps5 from scalpers and sold them for retail to kids in the neighbourhood

我最后一次聽說他的事情的時(shí)候，他從黃牛手里買了10臺(tái)PS5，以零售價(jià)賣給了社區(qū)里的孩子們。

FUck i should have stayed friends with him

他媽的我就應(yīng)該跟他處下去的。
