Overfit & Chill

What’s the difference between a $10m, $100m, and $1b lifestyle? Asked this question in Hampton's Slack community since we have people worth $10m - $2b. A few takeaways from the 50+ replies: $50k – $100k liquid • The first “I feel rich” for many in 20s. • Bills stop hurting. You breathe. • $1M net worth rarely changes anything. In high-cost cities, it’s just “comfortable professional.” Still very income-dependent. $10M liquid - This is the first real unlock. • Safety net feels permanent • You stop looking at the right side of the menu • Business-class by default, 5 hotels when you want • You can cover friends’ flights to make trips happen • Life doesn’t run you anymore. $20M–$25M liquid: • “I can spend $50k/mo forever and still compound.” • Nicer primary home (or rent ultra-nice; fewer ownership headaches) • Staff for convenience (nanny, cleaners) • Family support start to be normal, not “splurge” $50M liquid • Cash flow is thick and hard to fully redeploy. • 2nd homes, extended travel • Serious privacy planning begins • You’re learning trusts, tax vehicles, and who to not trust $100M: • Life becomes frictionless. • Fly private often (some buy; many rent because ownership is work) • Full household team + exec assistants + specialists • Family office(s), capital allocation becomes a job • You choose projects; problems get solved without you Past $100M • personal lifestyle doesn’t change much—scale and privacy do. • Land for privacy buffers • Private gyms/courts/spas at home • You’ll never fly commercial unless you want to $1 billion • Money becomes institutional. • You never see a bill • Global properties, fully private travel • Governments, universities, and CEOs court you • It’s legacy season: foundations, endowments, monuments A few real anecdotes from the thread: • A billionaire bought a pro sports team mid-flight on his jet. His right-hand guy became COO. • A friend group dropped $200k–$300k on a yacht week just to get everyone together. • Multiple members set up dual family offices (JPM + independent) to manage life + investments. The biggest trap everyone warned about: • “Coming into money without accomplishing anything is a curse.” • Lottery-winner energy breaks people. Purpose > purchases. Cash flow > net worth (psychologically). • Even people with $50M–$100M feel “poor” during low-cashflow years. Meaning, even if you have a high net worth -- if your business income goes away even if you don't need it, it feels horrible. Mentally brutal. What actually brings joy at scale: • Buying back time (coaches, chefs, pilots, concierge) • Funding memories (fly the whole crew, pick up every tab) • Being present (one member took a year as a stay-at-home dad - “wouldn’t trade it for anything”) What gets old fast: • More “stuff” to manage • Identity tied to net worth • Chasing bigger dopamine (toys) instead of deeper meaning (health, family, service, community) -- Ok, that's it - that's my ChatGPT summary of all the replies!

This is exactly what happened to Hermes this year, too many people went on TikTok about it and it tanked the stock and the value of the bags It's not a status item anymore if everyone has it!
