Sorry to break it to you HUSS but that’s not how you make friends , usually you grow ups it’s people and they get rich or they don’t..

You need networking not friends … that’s the correct terminology! Good luck but I wouldn’t ever want a “friend” that wants me because of my wealth or cash flow !

Learn to play golf. Get good at it. Join a club, play with random other members, be somewhat charming. Not too much.

From there, you'll find your rich friends. Works best if you.dont really need them for about 5 years. You're just another successful member aho happens to kick their ass at golf. Hard to hate that guy. Hard to ignore when they say they're working on something.

Get a job in tech and live in a LCOL area and you'll be fine.

It sounds like you're more interested in leaching off of someone, rather than actually being "friends". Build your own wealth without handouts and make associates, cause there are no friends when it comes to business. The only industry where you can become successful based on who you know is probably the entertainment industry in Hollyweird.

I had a rich friend. He was an acquaintance of mines from high school, he made good money off Destiny trials, then dipped his toe to crypto and owned a pizzeria for a bit and sold it for a great profit.

Then he killed himself out of the blue, despite his riches and the fact he had occasionally hung out with me.

As to answer your question, I don't know where exactly you can find a place to "make rich friends".

If they tell you they're rich they're not rich. If they flash their money around? their first generation rich and will soon be poor. I was a personal banker for years, the richest people I came in contact with looked like hobos and lived about that way too. That's why they were Rich, they didn't spend a dime. I was talking to my friend a while back, he was telling me about his life. 100 Grand in the bank a brand new BMW sports car a 775,000 home he just purchased and he was sending his girlfriend to France, for a shopping spree. When she got back, they were going to spend a week in Hawaii. I had $20 to my name and was lamenting the fact of how poor I was. Then I asked. How much do you owe in debt? Answer? 1.5 million dollars. I was 100% debt-free all bills paid with $20 in my pocket. Who had more money?. Best part, I didn't have a boiling ulcer, thinking about owing 1.5 million dollars. Remember, when people tell you they're rich, they don't tell you how much they owe.

Start a business and start networking.

Not how it works: Here is a certified way to get in with the affluent.

If you want my future, forget my past

If you wanna get with me, better make it fast

Now don't go wasting my precious time

Get your act together we could be just fine

Once you get past this stage, you'll have to manage the 'relationship' here's how:

Now you know how I feelSay you can handle my love, are you for real?(Are you for real?)I won't be hasty, I'll give you a tryIf you really bug me then I'll say goodbye

​

Once you manage the relationship, they will open doors to friends, so take this last piece of advice really to heart:

If you wanna be my business manager, you gotta get with my friends

(Gotta get with my friends)

Make it last forever, friendship never ends

If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give

(You've got to give)

Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is

​

GL OP.

rich people don't like leeches. you're wasting your time. find something that's a problem. come up with a solution that saves time, money and/or generates revenue and start dialing

No one is going to say mentors? Like, they still dot hat right? I know there are plenty of paid mentorships, but some will mentor you for services like apprenticeship type things too.

At least you should have a business which can be successful,you can talk something with others,if nothing you have,why the rich want to know you?

LOL- well, if that's the ticket, my rich friends are not doing a good job.

​

Idk. maybe I just like them as people, maybe they are useless in other ways. Maybe you should focus on growing your business without relying on their connections. If they want to help, they will. Would be nice, I get it.

I don't think hanging out with rich friends will make you rich. Theres the difference in mindset and values that set rich and the poor apart. Reading books to get into that mindset would be a good place to start ?

Do rich things.

Where’s the coke?

I have a rich friend , I don't think it was useful in anything, in fact sometimes it feel hard to see how money is not a problem for him.

Are you also rich? If so, then it's quite easy.

This is not how to get rich. The rich hang out with the rich because

1. They live in the same area and attend the same events because they can afford to. If you’re poor you’re not going to meet them at the country club swimming pool or the expensive private school fundraiser because you can’t afford to be there.

2. They know each other from business. As you get wealthier your list of contacts will grow. You’ll know tons of lawyers, CEOs, investors, bankers, and financial executives just from business dealings. These people are all rich and you’ll be talking to them frequently and therefore more likely to be friends.

3. Other rich people don’t want stuff from them. The more wealthy you get the more people want stuff from you. It can get very lonely because you don’t truly have friends. You just have people that want to be around you to try to get something from you. Friends who are also very rich don’t need or want your money. This would probably be a very refreshing experience. It’s also the #1 reason your plan won’t work. Rich people will sniff you out. You’re not the first guy that has tried to befriend them to get something from them. They will spot it within the first few sentences to leave your mouth if that is your intention.

4. Business deals are mutual beneficial. If you bring nothing to the table they won’t be interested.

5. Friends have things in common. Rich people have a lot more things in common with other rich people than with poorer people. Therefore they are more likely to have closer relationships with those that they can relate to i.e. other rich people.

Getting rich comes from being born into it, building a business or being an executive in one, or having a highly advanced career like a doctor. There are no other ways to get rich.

If you believe your logic, why would a rich person want to be your friend. I think you're looking for a mentor

You first need to learn a skill. Then you need to offer it to people. When these people realise you bring value to the table they’d want you around. Everything else is cyclical.

Rich ppl don’t live on the same planet as you, they aren’t around the places you go because they are rich and they can afford an abundant lifestyle. You need to bring something to the table.

Focus on making your self rich then rich friends will find.

Dude this is the wrong route to take. It's disingenuous to make friends that are rich. They'll be able to tell you're not similar to them and you won't have anything in common anyways so good luck.

Really depends what you have to offer. I'm not very rich but rich enough (and an entrepreneur -> how I got rich) for people to bother me with ideas or plans etc but have nothing in return.

Most obvious and most commoni; 'I have this plan, but I cannot do anything myself' and then trying to get ideas, strategies, money etc from me. Thing is ; I have the people, the tech knowledge, the marketing knowledge *and* the money to make things from scratch and make them work. So what do I need you for? The successful collabs I had was, what you said, if some has a great product; my companies can be the first paying users, but i will want something in return. As i'm an entrepreneur, I will bank on your success with me 'investing' (being a first mover and having more patient for bugs etc than other paying clients would have) so I will want a % in the company owning the product. Another way which I have done, is if somehow has an idea and indeed can at least build it themselves.

But people doing cold-call sales on me because they know i'm rich and indeed 'pay more for the same product' I sniff our quickly and indeed will never waste my time on.

This isn't how this works imo. Rich people won't just adopt you, give you money or teach you. :D

Also, "paying more" isn't a given just because they have money.

Well, finding and befriending wealthy individuals can definitely provide great opportunities for learning and business connections. While Silicon Valley and New York are indeed renowned for their concentration of wealthy individuals, there are other avenues worth exploring too. Consider attending business conferences, industry events, or upscale networking gatherings in your area. Engaging in philanthropic activities or joining exclusive clubs can also increase your chances of meeting affluent individuals. Social media platforms offer a unique opportunity as well – you might find networking groups or communities online that cater to wealthy individuals with shared interests. Remember, having rich friends means gaining insight from their experiences, potentially learning from their success stories, and tapping into their valuable networks. Plus, having affluent friends can also be beneficial if you offer premium products or services. It's all about expanding your horizons and embracing opportunities wherever they may arise.

The stuff that gets posted on this site...

It doesn't sound like you are looking for friends. You're looking for customers and networking opportunities.

But to answer your question, go to networking events and look for the old guy who is just chilling there. They won't become your friend, probably, but they will actually give you what you're looking for - advice, experience, and potentially, business.

Honestly though, please don't approach this as looking for friends. It's a little gross if you're not actually interested in the person, but what they can give you.

New movie idea. A man sets out to meet rich friends, by pretending to be rich himself. It works and he meets his perfect match. Ironically, the friend is also pretending to be rich himself. But it doesn’t matter , after some trial and tribulation, in the end they realize what’s truly important and live happily ever after
