Town & Country Magazine recently did some research to find out how much money wealthy people truly needed to be happy and sustain their lifestyles. They calculated some basic needs and broke down various expenses to come up with a “happiness number.” It incorporated baseline costs of being happy like:

• 12-room apartment on Central Park and a couple vacation homes
• Collection of “trophy art”
• Elite private boarding schools for the children plus a solid inheritance
• A chef, a chauffeur, and a housekeeper on staff
• Appropriate wardrobe & cosmetic expenses
• Tickets for key social functions
• And more! (Yup, there’s more.)

So they took the cost of those “basics” and they totaled them all up.

And they got their “happiness number.”

See if you can guess what that all adds up to. How much money do rich people need in order to be happy?

Hint: it’s a bit more than $15/hour. (Apparently that’s too much for us… but not enough for them.)

Click here to make your guess… and then find out the answer.

Feeling thankful I don’t thank a chauffer is a basic cost of living,
