How the other half lives

[Workingman]

It is reported that the Saatchi - Lawson household spent between £75,000 and £100,000 a month, and that's outside of normal and staff costs. That's between £2,400 and £3,300 per day!

If I won a huge amount on the Lottery I could probably achieve that by buying a house and furniture and a car and heaps of clothes, but it would eventually come to an end and I would go back to normal(ish) spending.

I simply cannot get my head round how it could be done day-after-day, year-after-year.

Still, it's their money.

the thread title says it all, really. If I could afford to spend money at that level, it'd go to charity ....

Incredible really - even I would struggle, although Mick might argue

[Workingman]

I am not being critical or jealous, I hope nobody thinks that, but I cannot imagine how I could spend £120 to £140 per hour, every hour..... even if I lived in London.

There must be some incredible conmen/women preying on the rich is all I can think.

I don't understand it either.

Even if you ate every meal out a top restaurants, threw away every single item of clothing once you'd worn it, along with towels and sheets, I still don't see how you can spend that much on a daily basis!

[Kaz]

No, it beggars belief to be honest

[Diflower]

I know he's worth an absolute fortune, but I would like to think I'd always keep in touch with reality!
Surely you'd have to really, really try to get through quite that much

[Workingman]

Can you imagine having a good night out and not getting up till noon and then realising that you have to spend 500 quid before your beans on toast?

Hell, I tell you, absolute Hell.

[Diflower]

Like Brewsters Millions, every day

'I might really fancy egg on toast but I'd better shave this whole truffle over it otherwise it's just too cheap'

It must be hard, having so much (only slightly tongue in cheek).

[JoM]

I can't get my head around how you could spend that much.
I'd be willing to give it a try though....
