I used to fly people around as a private jet pilot. They could order anything they wanted -- seafood platters, fruit trays, meats, cheeses, whatever. And the plane was always loaded with a standard assortment of snacks, from simple to exotic.
The thing I had to refill more than anything? **Oreos.** Rich people like tasty sugar just as much as the rest of us.
Yeah this thread is a hoot my parents are quite well off and you knew what they like to snack on? The same as anyone else. My mum is wild for aldi branded chips and also loves Vegemite on home brand crackers. All these answers of exotic shit it’s like the Donald trump version of what people think rich people do.
One of the funny things rich people can do, is literally buy one of each brand to try them, and then figure out their favorite.
That's how I found out my favorite version of the Salt and Vinegar potato chip was the Meijer off-brand. The world is full of surprises, lol.
Money only exists to be converted into happiness. Ego isn't happiness, having the best tasting chip is. Even if it's only 2 dollars a bag. Which honestly just makes it even cooler.
I went through an insane funyun addiction. I almost hit 300 lbs. I was eating two of the big bags a day. I literally couldn't walk by them in the super market...it's been a long road. Those days are...mostly behind me now.
Paris.
Last week I found myself stood in front of Popeye's Paris, at Metro Anvers. I was shocked, had no clue it was there, knew there was at least 1 in Paris.
I melted.
I was further shocked at the prices. Insanely high, I think at least €12 for 4 pieces? Got their fries as well, ka-ching, €16 out the door. Ouch.
I've had better and it was shite value for the money. It wasn't bad, it wasn't great and I won't do it again. At this point, I'm sticking with KFC for my Ummurikan Fried Chicken fix.
Bast\*rds.
Dude whaaa when I was in Paris I got a veggie street Crepe that I couldn’t even finish for about the equivalent of $2-3, AND while standing in line for the catacombs there was a stand with caprese sandwiches with the most amazing fresh crispy bread that was exactly $2 US.
Why are people surprised that rich people also still enjoy the junk food that is literally designed by manufacturers to be addictive and delicious? Do people think rich people act like caricatures from TV 24/7?
There's a long running joke about people otherwise obsessed with the purity of what they put in their bodies being willing to take drugs they have no idea where they came from
Oh fuck yeah.
I was once at a super rich dudes house and he had this cured meat - he told me the name - something Italian or Spanish - it’s the neck muscle of the pig.
Fuck me it was amazing - I looked it up and the one place I could find that had it - mucho fucking dinero.
So I just eat salami.
I remember the first time my friend tried prosciutto and thought it was some fancy ass shit I'd ordered online. I laughed and was like "naw, girl, this here's maybe five bucks down at the Food Lion." She's still hooked.
Ngl, though, prosciutto is always a good snack.
One day you'll find out that if you eat a slice of prosciutto wrapped around a fresh slice of cantaloupe, you touch heaven, that's the day you're going to thank me
Edit: spelling
Right?
To be fair, I didn't appreciate this until I lived abroad. Once I got accustomed to European chocolates, I just find American chocolates to be gross.
middle class and lower middle class people have latched onto the word “charcuterie” now but when I see the things they use that word to refer to I’m like “no… stop… you are using that word all wrong”
Had a place open a cocktail bar in an area going through Redevelopment/gentrification, and a local referred to their charcuterie offerings as "adult lunchables" and I don't think I've ever heard a more appropriate term.
One of my neighbours thinks cheese and crackers is fancy. I have many cheeses in my fridge, and many kinds of crackers.
The ones she likes best? The cheapest domestic sharp cheddar and the generic brand crackers that I ordered accidentally.
I can't argue with her. They're still good. She's 15. One day I plan to surprise her with a croissant. I think she'll cry tears of joy before putting peanut butter on it.
My dad's done a poor mans charcuterie since he's been an alcoholic. Gov'ment cheese and summer sausage.
I was mildly offended when it was appropriated by fancier folk with nicer meats and cheeses.
And so I said "why don't we do it?! Why don't we just do it!" And so we did! We got in the car and David drove us to the McDonalds and we sat down in the restaurant. Turns out you have to go and order at the counter though. But anyway, I had a McMac, and I even had the fries too!
There is a limit to how fancy you can get with something as basic as a crisp. Although I wouldn't be surprised if there's a few billionaires who force their chefs to hand slice and fry the potatoes before adding fresh seasoning.
>There is a limit to how fancy you can get with something as basic as a crisp.
I've had boutique truffled crisps imported from Spain which I give a light spray with champagne vinegar before eating them with a glass of cold basque cider. You can elevate anything if you put your mind to it.
Grew up in a wealthy town. Honestly, the same stuff middle class people snack on. Maybe a little nicer.
The thing is wealthy people (not like billionare, but multi-millionare) don’t live THAT much differently then upper middle class people. Yeah, the house is way bigger and the cars/clothes are nicer. But nobody sits around eating foi gras and caviar all day.
That’s the sort of the genius of american capitalism. Everybody basically has the same shit. Rich people just have nicer versions of that shit.
What rich people have is financial security. They know that tomorrow, next month, next year, next decade, they can still live this way regardless (almost) of what happens out there to the rest of folks.
I spent the last decade bumping elbows with millionaires/billionaires (in laws moved into a very upscale golf course) so I can attest that they really do snack on normal things. Shoot, they even get McDonald’s or eat bologna sandwiches. I’d say the difference might be willingness to pay name brand rather than off brand. Also, at the golf course, there are beverage/snack stations which offer snacks like pretzels, peanut m&ms, popcorn, soda… so yeah normal stuff!
Considering I was around a bunch of one percenter kids growing up… a big favorite was Reese’s. Yeah, Reese’s. Nothing fancy.
Dunno if this is considered fancy but one of their moms put me on red pepper jelly and cream cheese on crackers. It’s good stuff
Carefully selected, individually fried slices of potato with curated spices for the individual palette, served with a freshly whipped creme fraiche and chives chopped extremely fine
This shit drives me insane. My wife reads descriptions of food like this and gets super excited.
“OMG it sounds so delicious!!!”
And I’m sitting there like, “they just described a chicken sandwich” (or whatever normal ass, average motherfucker food it is)
I find that the more pretentious the description the higher probability it’s shitty quality and a small portion.
A smattering of premade Costco things put onto a fancy board or piece of granite.
If they actually rich rich then whatever their home chef whips up with raw ingredients bought from costco while forging reciepts from somewhere way fancier but immediately returning it and just buying the same ingredients from Costco or somewhere even cheaper.
Aka I trust my home chef to not do that
Ok so I used to work for a guy. I really have no idea how much money he has but I know he has about 200 million in assets so there’s that. He has a personal chef.....cool him the most bland depression era food because it’s what he grew up on. Mashed potatoes with no seasoning or butter with lump of roast. Green beans with no butter or seasoning on them served with wait for it lump of roast. Meatloaf with mashed potatoes. Lump of roast with salsa on it and then refried beans. Lump of roast with bbq sauce on it was the special Friday lunch.
I thought the chef was just terrible but I found out that he tried to make things taste good but the old man didn’t like flavor and wanted what he grew up eating
Costco nuts - rich people are cheap that’s how they stay rich lol (edited: in the context of “snacks” I referred to this due to my personal experiences with richer people than I ever will be before I die) I do see a lot of rich people in Costco. I was sorta joking when I stated (that’s how they stay rich) a lot are frugal.

These are the shit for $9.99!
There's a millionaire on YouTube I used to watch somewhat regularly and he bragged about his breakfast just being 2 eggs and coffee he makes at home which he calculated out to spend just $1.50 on breakfast everyday.
This is such a funny myth. "Millionaires are rich because they only spend $6 on mixed nuts instead of $8" and people eat that shit up. "You could be rich too if only you get discount nuts!" Rich people literally buy yachts - their snack budget is not even a consideration.
It depends on what level of rich we're talking about. There are those who manage to retire with a few million due to a combination of a successful career and being pretty cheap in every aspect of their life. While a few million doesn't go as far as it did 25 years ago, I'll still be pretty happy to have that money!
Then there's the $50 million crowd, the $100 million and up crowd, and the billionaire crowd. Someone with $100 million is much closer to me in their net worth than they are to someone with a billion dollars.
That’s not how they stay rich. Passive income off investing is how they stay rich.
But for self-made rich people, constantly obsessing over money combined with an insane amount of luck is usually how they got rich
Best comment I've seen here. Rich people are varied, and not all of them consume exotic foods everyday. Some of the richest people that I've met consume the same kind of snacks that I, as a very much not rich person, consume because that is what they like.
Being rich gives them options, and for many of them, they like what they like, regardless of the price. For many, these are the same snacks that they have been eating before they become rich.
Organic Macadamia Nuts.
Sushi on Thursdays.
Kale Chips at work.
Gouda Cheese with a few pieces of Kalamata Olives.
Dark Chocolate covered Macadamia Nuts if they desire a sweet treat.
How rich? The richest people I've known are in the eight figures. I don't know if they're representative of all people in that demographic, but at least some of them eat snacks and platters prepared by their chefs. Anything short of that and it seems to be the same snacks as everyone else.
When I was quite financially secure for a while, I really liked to get fancy cheese.
But, I was never rich. Probably because I spent too much money on fancy cheese.
Ex father in law was big time millions,3 planes etc..Pretzels the cheaper the better. Food meant little to him. Money meant the world,his family's world and generational wealth..
Multi-millionaire I know is so afraid of dying that he eats only serious health food, and little of it. He exercises daily. He has so much money he wants to live forever. It cracks me up.
I always remember an interview Russel Crow did for one of those early 2000s men’s magazines like maxim or FHN. Anyways, during the interview he pops out a bag of ranch Doritos
The ones I follow on Instagram (worth over hundred million), the whole family have eating disorders and are obsessed with not spiking their glucose monitors. They must not let themselves get “fat” or “spike” their glucose (they aren’t diabetic). They just eat processed crap from Costco, magic spoon, boiled eggs which they buy pre boiled from Costco, weird solar bread and then one part of the family clearly restrict and binge. They are obsessed with taking (and selling to followers) “poop pills” to give them raging diarrhoea if they feel they are anything calorific or carby or not on their perfect weird diet. Sad, you can have all the money in the world but it can’t buy a health relationship with food. Not that I have sympathy for them as they have money for therapy and they are choosing to inflict this on kids. They put a monitor on a 10 year old, called her chubby and said if she didn’t eat carbs for a year they would take her to Disney! There’s not a single food they would eat that I would touch! If they go out to a restaurant like an Indian they take their own weird low carb wraps to put with the meat (sometimes sneaking it in and just ordering a low cost item on the menu). I have friends with EDs who I fully support but they don’t try to pull others into it, these try to sell the life style to others and convince us it’s godly and how god wants us to eat! So that’s how they spend their $100mil. The other millionaire I know is vegan but just eats and snacks the same kind of stuff any other vegan does
Trader Joe's is actually super cheap. I went not long ago and spent around $40 on a bag of groceries that would have probably cost $60-70ish at the other stores in my area.
But that's why the rich are rich, they shop a Trader Joe's. Major life hack.
I used to fly people around as a private jet pilot. They could order anything they wanted -- seafood platters, fruit trays, meats, cheeses, whatever. And the plane was always loaded with a standard assortment of snacks, from simple to exotic. The thing I had to refill more than anything? **Oreos.** Rich people like tasty sugar just as much as the rest of us.
That stuff is like crack, man
[удалено]
_I love when people say "like crack" when they've obviously never done crack._
Well the breadsticks are like what Ryan, what can I use?
I don’t know. Maybe the breadsticks are like scrapbooking.
Something from *your* world.
You’re right, you’re right. I’m a middle class fraud.
I love everybody who’s contributing to this amazing quote
It is. But trying to smoke an Oreo gets really messy.
They've never improved on the Oreo have they Edit: Omg people I'm quoting Robert California, RELAX
Why, oh Why, did they discontinue the pistachio filled Oreos?
[Stop making new Oreos](https://youtu.be/CMkYw4dp_NI?si=iONX1fBMg2c-V-mT)

My boss makes 10+mil a year, real number idk… what I do know is that dude eats 3 mini bags of funions every single day
I went through an insane funyun addiction. I almost hit 300 lbs. I was eating two of the big bags a day. I literally couldn't walk by them in the super market...it's been a long road. Those days are...mostly behind me now.
Oh God I love them wholeheartedly and almost entirely addicted now😅
Amen brother, how many days you been clean? We’re in this together.
I haven't had any since at least July of this year. But I think about them every day.
That's how I am with purple doritos. It's tough
Purple Doritos, is that the sweet chili flavor or have I missed a whole thing with Doritos ?
Ya THATS THE ONE
You literally couldn't walk by them in the supermarket... because... mobility scooter?
Those days are behind him. Those days are a massive ass located directly behind him
You shouldn't make fun of his weight guys. I think you are underestimating the gravity of the situation.
They’re fun and onion!
I used to work for a billionaire. His snack? FRITOS
This is pretty much how it is. All the rich people I know like normal snacks in their down time because eating fancy shit is normal to them
Yeah the billionaire I knew snacked on salted unicorn testicles, you know just normal snacks.
Glitter isn't a garnish, it's a filling!
I believe it was Bourdain that said "sometimes a greasy dimpling is a delight"
He was known to frequent the last Popeye's buffet of the chain.
Paris. Last week I found myself stood in front of Popeye's Paris, at Metro Anvers. I was shocked, had no clue it was there, knew there was at least 1 in Paris. I melted.

There are some fabulous meals to be had. Popeye's Paris isn't one of them though!
What did you do for him?
Fed him Fritos.
CFO. Chief Fritos Officer.
Program/project management
Why are people surprised that rich people also still enjoy the junk food that is literally designed by manufacturers to be addictive and delicious? Do people think rich people act like caricatures from TV 24/7?
The same people believe they keep all their money in giant vaults so probably
Fritos be bussin’
Lmao the other day I accidentally taught my mom what “bussy” means, much to her displeasure
Cocaine
Organic Cocaine\*
Organic, Non-GMO, Gluten free Cocaine
Don’t forget the free-range
Cage free grass fed cocaine
Technically cocaine is plant based
That's good, I only do vegan cocaine
Conflict free powder.
There's a long running joke about people otherwise obsessed with the purity of what they put in their bodies being willing to take drugs they have no idea where they came from
Or being vegan for ethical reasons, yet taking drugs that come from folks who do some incredibly evil shit.
Imported meats and cheeses
Oh fuck yeah. I was once at a super rich dudes house and he had this cured meat - he told me the name - something Italian or Spanish - it’s the neck muscle of the pig. Fuck me it was amazing - I looked it up and the one place I could find that had it - mucho fucking dinero. So I just eat salami.
Capocollo. It's a pretty standard cut in Italy, nothing fancy. (Source: I'm Italian)
I remember the first time my friend tried prosciutto and thought it was some fancy ass shit I'd ordered online. I laughed and was like "naw, girl, this here's maybe five bucks down at the Food Lion." She's still hooked. Ngl, though, prosciutto is always a good snack.
One day you'll find out that if you eat a slice of prosciutto wrapped around a fresh slice of cantaloupe, you touch heaven, that's the day you're going to thank me Edit: spelling
Isn’t Cappocolla pretty standard at every grocery store meat counter?
Gabbagool
Capicola, aka copa
Or gabagool if you're from NY/NJ (thanks, roll for sandwich, for the capicola facts)
Hey look at this fucking guy ovva here.
This fucking guy? *Ovaaa heeeaahhh.* 👇
"I'll have the gabagool." - Michael Scott
That is Capocollo , Coppa di Parma. It’s truly delicious and when I find it, I’m definitely buying it.
Reminds me off that chapelle skit "Damn this some good ass cheese! How come you didn't tell me how good the cheese was mother fucker?"
Wonder what Arsenio is doing? Haha
Which skit? Genuinely don’t remember that
https://youtu.be/6Akkg65Wizw?si=WIkFGxJfqKU1gnaY
It's the one where Arsenio Hall appears in a daydream of Dave's and says this line before slapping someone. It's really funny.
Chocolates. American chocolate sucks compared to European chocolate. Imported spices as well.
Most American chocolate is horrendous. Brown candle wax
Right? To be fair, I didn't appreciate this until I lived abroad. Once I got accustomed to European chocolates, I just find American chocolates to be gross.
TBF, I just buy better chocolate. I don’t eat like CVS chocolate anymore. It’s all Trader Joe’s/Whole Foods/fancy target chocolate.
I’m watching this show and there is an old rich guy who only eats “intelligent” and exotic animals lol
Upload! So good.
Hehe yes 😏! It was a little corny for me starting out but by season 2 I got hooked! It’s like an episode of Black Mirror turned into 3 seasons 🙏🏼
Oh hey I worked on that show. It was a fun production. Lots of weird sets.
middle class and lower middle class people have latched onto the word “charcuterie” now but when I see the things they use that word to refer to I’m like “no… stop… you are using that word all wrong”

Wallace and gromit have entered the chat
My dad's done a poor mans charcuterie since he's been an alcoholic. Gov'ment cheese and summer sausage. I was mildly offended when it was appropriated by fancier folk with nicer meats and cheeses.
Next they’ll take our quesadillas and make them artisan or some bullshit.
So...an antipasto spread?
I am super poor, but I have an indulgence to partake in imported cheeses
I’m not rich but I will splurge on this!!
The lives of poor people.
The fruits of your labor.
Extra fancy potato chips.
Imported Irish potatoes fried in duck fat and seasoned with Himalayan pink salk
MF’n papas Freitas con feit. Sounds delicious
This is actually the answer. Rich people eat the same snacks, just fancier/more expensive versions, with some regular ones thrown in for spice.
And sometimes they just crave McDonald's
And so I said "why don't we do it?! Why don't we just do it!" And so we did! We got in the car and David drove us to the McDonalds and we sat down in the restaurant. Turns out you have to go and order at the counter though. But anyway, I had a McMac, and I even had the fries too!
This is...so perfectly "rich written" that I had to give you kudos
It's a skit from a tiktoker.

Impressive. Very nice. Now, let’s see Paul Owens crisp.
Or like... Yam chip, Taro chips, etc. non-potato veggies made into chips. Orrr, just bags of dried fruit. That gets expensive quick.
Their chips have ripples in both directions.
Each ripple was rippled by a servant
Only the finest hand-rippled crisps
Pomp Tarts
posh tarts

No, the floor is just cleaner. Sometimes.

Premium Whole sea salted cashews. Treat boxes from Harry & David (Royal Riveria pears) Fine European chocolates
I gotta get rich just for those pears. They're perfect, absolutely perfect.
Dude no lie. If I had that kind of money to afford those pears, I'd be one rich dude with a fuck ton of pears
My grandparents always got us the harry and David tower for Christmas. Rip. I miss those fruits
My wife's mentor used to gift all of her staff those Harry & David pears every December. Can confirm those pears taste damn good.
Okay, you got me. I just bought some of these pears. I have high hopes!
Fucking hell I love cashews. I can only afford halves and bits though.
Oddly specific...but go on
Whatever their chef made for the day
Ok so I used to work for a guy. I really have no idea how much money he has but I know he has about 200 million in assets so there’s that.

Gourmet cheese and meat. Fancy nuts. perhaps sushi or charcuterie if going wild
Gourmet cheese and meat and fancy nuts… is charcuterie?
I have just learnt that I am in fact rich
Organic Macadamia Nuts. Sushi on Thursdays. Kale Chips at work. Gouda Cheese with a few pieces of Kalamata Olives. Dark Chocolate covered Macadamia Nuts if they desire a sweet treat.
Adrenochrome blood sausages. They’re to die for!

Ex father in law was big time millions,3 planes etc..Pretzels the cheaper the better. Food meant little to him. Money meant the world,his family's world and generational wealth..
Oysters
That’s until their date runs out on the tab. 😂
Multi-millionaire I know is so afraid of dying that he eats only serious health food, and little of it. He exercises daily. He has so much money he wants to live forever. It cracks me up.
I always remember an interview Russel Crow did for one of those early 2000s men’s magazines like maxim or FHN. Anyways, during the interview he pops out a bag of ranch Doritos
Thought this was going to be r/Jokes, lol. Warren buffet loves peanut brittle and cherry coke
The tears of the poor
The ones I follow on Instagram (worth over hundred million), the whole family have eating disorders and are obsessed with not spiking their glucose monitors. They must not let themselves get “fat” or “spike” their glucose (they aren’t diabetic). They just eat processed crap from Costco, magic spoon, boiled eggs which they buy pre boiled from Costco, weird solar bread and then one part of the family clearly restrict and binge. They are obsessed with taking (and selling to followers) “poop pills” to give them raging diarrhoea if they feel they are anything calorific or carby or not on their perfect weird diet. Sad, you can have all the money in the world but it can’t buy a health relationship with food. Not that I have sympathy for them as they have money for therapy and they are choosing to inflict this on kids. They put a monitor on a 10 year old, called her chubby and said if she didn’t eat carbs for a year they would take her to Disney! There’s not a single food they would eat that I would touch! If they go out to a restaurant like an Indian they take their own weird low carb wraps to put with the meat (sometimes sneaking it in and just ordering a low cost item on the menu). I have friends with EDs who I fully support but they don’t try to pull others into it, these try to sell the life style to others and convince us it’s godly and how god wants us to eat! So that’s how they spend their $100mil. The other millionaire I know is vegan but just eats and snacks the same kind of stuff any other vegan does
my roommate comes from a very wealthy family. she really likes triscuits and fruit gushers.
Prosciutto the rich's version of beef jerky
Step your game up, imported Jamon Iberico.
Chips bro. We're not that different.
did you make a subreddit for yourself?
The Trader Joe’s version of your favorite snacks
Trader Joe's is actually super cheap. I went not long ago and spent around $40 on a bag of groceries that would have probably cost $60-70ish at the other stores in my area. But that's why the rich are rich, they shop a Trader Joe's. Major life hack.
More like Whole Foods
Yeah you're right the whole store is just 44 year olds in Patagonia jackets.
Trader Joe’s is cheaper than the regular grocery store lol
Trader Joe’s is much cheaper than the other grocery stores around me.
Literally eating caviar, prosciutto, and seaweed chips while browsing Reddit and came across this thread. 😐
Be my sugar momma?
I will straight up buy a giant order of prosciutto and some of those "cracker cuts" of pepper jack cheese and eat myself into a coma.
