Yo my job has me going into the homes of the extremely wealthy all the way down to the rented class and holy shit you are wrong.
These people are so insane they think owning a massive home and having staff do all their shit is a job. They fetishize their purchases and actually cannot enjoy the products they sit on for fear of ruining it.
Sure they are hedonistic, but they typically are not happy people. They think their lives are so overwhelmingly busy that they can’t have time to smell the roses. Even the trips they go on are hassles because someone has to “watch the house”
I've seen a lot of this. Obviously not universal but miserably sterile houses full of furniture no one is allowed to sit on with yards no one is allowed to walk on are a thing. There are a lot of wealthy people who have no sense of identity beyond the things they own.
Doing yard work for giant rich people houses ranged from weird to extremely weird and upsetting.
