Go read how to be a social climber 101 😂

I am rich, we can be friends

You don't have to have rich friends to be rich. You do need to learn from them.

And if you want to meet them maybe you need to figure out how to help them.

They'll pay good money & always remember you for it.

Best of luck🙂

Fancy bars!

Places where people have the disposable income to be in and member only societies most people have never heard of.

SoHo house being a great example but costing between 2500-5000$ yearly. You’ll be surrounded by wealthier people tho.

Magic Castle - Probably surrounded by wealthier people as well, but membership can run 5,000+

Court side season tickets.

Private parties/Events.

I pay probably 7500ish a year to be a member of a few of these. I’ve made that money back in a day or two sometimes from having access to these.

I am by no means rich, but they’ve given me access to foods, entertainment, trips and events I wouldn’t have experienced otherwise.

You don't have to visit SV or NY to make rich friends. There are many examples of people who show us that location (when it comes to wealth) doesn't matter as much. (That's not to say that location doesn't matter at all.) My advice would be this: find a good concept and start a podcast. It doesn't matter if you're introverted (I'm a painful introvert myself), and it doesn't matter if you haven't done it before. Get behind the mic and start reaching out to folks you look up to. No one is going to give you their time if you just reach out in cold. But, a podcast can work as your trojan horse. Most people want to talk about the stuff they know. You'll get a lot of rejection; be prepared for that and embrace it. But, little by little, episode after episode, it will get easier to get access to the people you want to talk to. That's not to say you'll become buddies after the episode recording. But, you'll have their undivided attention for 1hr. I did the same in my industry. Didn't know any people when I started 2 years ago. Made a lot of friends along the way and positively impacted our company's bottom line. That wasn't my intention, but all sorts of great things happen when you interview people.

There is rich people everywhere amongst us, what's your definition of rich? I'm in business, and I can tell you that they will only consult and mentor you. Possibly lead you to new prosperous contacts. But the trick to being rich is attracting the money not chasing the money. If you have to "chase" a dollar, you won't be rich.

Start by making friends with richer than you.

Go suck a couple off you fucking goof ball. Go create value instead of trying to be a fucking leech. You’re a bum

What you can offer for your rich friends)? What is benefits for them to be your friend?

Those questions fits must be rethinking.

Just move to Perth in Western Australia. More Billionaires and people with 300+ mill upwards per capita than anywhere else on the planet and it’s cool AF

Most smart ones don't advertise. The riches folks I know are't flashy for a reason. Just saying.

Like others have said, I don't think you will have much joy trying to start a friendship based on using the other person for success!

Maybe instead of wealth look to connect and befriend people who are driven, who own their own business, who have interesting ideas or enjoy learning and teaching themselves. That's the sort of mindset you want to surround yourself with. Think about specific areas you are interested in learning about and look for groups and meetings on those subjects.

Back to the rich people question - also consider that not all wealthy people like to outwardly display their wealth. And not all people acting rich are as well off as they'd like to have everyone believe...

You need to start networking. Start with BNI, then grow your network from there.

They have their own preferred nightclubs and pubs. I once worked at one of them. Most of the rich that socialised there were not famous, but I did see George Cloney, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Mike Tyson, Charles Barkley, and other celebrities. Half of them were repeat customers.

I'm not talking about Hollywood. That was a bar in Scottsdale, Arizona anyone could walk into.

Don’t use people but if you want to try a new social scene look into country clubs, local business clubs - Kiwanis, rotary, etc. go to charitable events and genuinely take an interest in the new people you meet. Take golf or tennis lessons. Look to see if there’s startup incubators or competitions nearby to get into that scene as well. These take place all over the country, wealth is everywhere but a little more is in certain places.

Start a podcast and invite them on, works for me

I made a lot of rich friends hanging out around my local VC. But I didn’t know they were rich when I met them. I just was really into my startup and met them at meetups / events the VC hosted. Started getting invited to places I hadn’t heard of (not like SUUUUPER nice but like nicer bars and restaurants I wouldn’t have known as a poor recent college grad). I then realized they had a lot more money than me.

I think it’s true, the 5 people you surround yourself with the most you become. I’ve also read it’s true that an average salary of like your top 5 friends is your own because people hangout with people they can afford to hangout with.

Idk, I feel like I’ve learned a lot hanging around successful people / people that manage money well but I didn’t go in with that mindset. I did go in with the mindset I wanted to meet more cofounders doing their own thing because I was getting lonely working by myself at coffee shops and wanted people to cowork with. A few of them just happened to have had previous startups and were very successful.

This has to be the dumbest post of the week.

No one is answering…

Start golfing, start archery, find expensive hobbies that filter out people for you

Do we really have to read this?

Nope. Thats how you stay rich, not become rich. To become rich, you do favours. Find things you can do easily, and do it for free for people you see everyday. Tell them to refer their friends too. Thats how u expand ur network. Now with a good network, you can use them to help desperate people, then they give you opportunities.

Example: I made a group project, my partner is stupid, didnt reciprocate. I wrote all code and documented with screenshots and all. Other guy from other group noticed i did the work, asked if i could make a projecr for him too. It was easy for me, made one for him with documentation. Later i mentioned that i needed a CA report, he helped me do it for very cheap. Boom 30% money saved.

Exact opposite of joker quote, if ur good at something, do i for free for many different people. Dont just favour one guy, as he may turn out to not be that reciprocal. Both examples in the same story.

Come to my house and meet me :)

I'm not sure this is wise. To get rich, one doesn't need to hang out with rich people. It's not like a virus you can catch. In fact, rich circles are closely guarded because of people just like you who are trying to become friends with them simply to get ahead in life and not because of true friendship. You won't get very far.

Also, many many rich people are self-made. They had very modest starts in life. They worked their way through college. They borrowed money to start their companies. What these people respect more than anything is a great work ethic, integrity, honesty and value.

Ask yourself why you want to get rich, and define your goals. Then, plan a path to get there. Don't look to others to boost you, give you secrets or open doors for you. Commit yourself to your goals and work hard. Once you've got some of that great work ethic, integrity, honesty and VALUE under your belt, you will start to make friends that are on that level, for the right reasons, not to use them to get ahead.

No one can do it for you, and no one can sustain your success for you. It must be built, brick by brick, day by day.

The single most common issue successful people have to deal with is others trying to use them to get ahead - asking for connections, asking for money, asking for exposure, asking for anything and everything.

Go where rich people go….

All of my rich friends I made at the Seattle Athletic Club when I worked somewhere that paid for a membership. I was young and in good shape and tall and would get randomly selected for pick up basketball games, which is how I made friends. If you dunk on a multi-millionaires personal nemesis, good chance he'll buy you a beer after and spend half the time laughing about the look on Greg's face when my balls where by his face.

I've managed to keep my rich friends in part by not asking them for money / investments / etc. They love give free advice just spit balling though.

I'm 'rich' but I don't want to be friends with you/poors

Upscale gyms

I believe the opposite, to get rich you need to find people that are not rich but hungry to grow.

Go to one of the most expensive restaurants in your city. Do it at least once a month.

Then if you find someone in the street they would recognize you from the restaurant

Expensive gyms. Golf courses. Yatch clubs. Expensive clubs.

Join a country club

Forget Silicon Valley and NY- check out Bosnia and Herzegovina; that’s where my rich friend lives

It usually ends up being a group of broke people gathering in hopes of meeting a rich person because why would a rich person ever want to hang out with a broke dude.

Really expensive hotels / resorts. We’re having a get together - it’s 10k tho for a long weekend. Want to get involved?

Poker room. a pretty large portion of players, and especially players playing above the lowest stakes, are succesful business owners.

Golf. Get good at it, rich people from your club will want to play with you.

When you allow your passion to drive you, your determination and work ethic will attract the right ppl. that will recognize your value.

Within the first year of starting my business we were doing work for NASCAR, that all can about through diligent hard work… we were consistent and most of all we fulfilled our obligations. Our small company caught the eye of a car owner, “I have been watching you guys on these projects around Atlanta, you haven’t made any money yet, I have something for you, NASCAR.”

Business school

Check meetup app, join Facebook business groups, discord paid channels etc. You need to be where this people hang out.
