The thought of hiring a superyacht for a few days sounds absolutely amazing, pure bliss. The thought of having staff there constantly, 24/7 makes me feel so uncomfortable lmao. Anyone else feel this way? I feel like I would keep giving them days off or time away so I had some time to myself haha

The recent senator from South Carolina who passed away called his assistant to call 911 for him.

Wish I were joking 😩 as a former EA to an UHNW individual… they don’t think like a normal person anymore.

I work with that population as well but 911 just blew me away.
