Where to make rich friends? (alien.top)

I'm starting to realize that to get rich, one needs to hang out with rich people but I'm not sure where to meet them. The only places I can think of are Silicon Valley and New York (no I don't know where in New York they are).

Why have rich friends?

If they didn't make the money themselves, they at least know people who did can learn from them
They're the ideal customer because they can pay more for the same product

Your best option is probably going to business school. You’ll meet a lot of wealthy, soon to be wealthy (finance type), and super wealthy (international students). Make sure you go to a top school and don’t try too hard.

Your other option is to adopt a rich person hobby which is social. My suggestion is sailing, a membership can be pretty cheap, and once you know how to do it you can crew on other people’s boats. Those people are rich.

But above all, whatever you do, don’t try and pull a fast one on your new found rich friends. We have an eye for anyone who is trying to part us from our cash, and most of us aren’t mugs. Be a friend first, that’s more important.

And finally, fuck, why do you need to know rich people increase your financial position? All the knowledge you’ll ever need is online, accessible for free.

This does work but you have to be a very skilled sailor to be invited. Rail meat need not apply. Easy to get on sailboats if you're a master level tactician (the owner will always want to skipper and most are smart enough to know that they perform better with a tactician calling the actual moves), rigger or have another skill that can be hard to find.
