Hello Aluxers, the last few Sundays have been really deep into human nature,
so we decided today to lighten the mood up and look into the lives of billionaires.
These folks have access to more money than they’ll ever need so we find it super interesting
to see what they choose to focus on.
Any smart individual understands that
it’s just a matter of time before everything we perceive as a luxury today, ends up in
the hands of the masses!
It used to be that only rich people had personal drivers, then UBER & Lyft came along.
Same with private chefs, then postmates and Glovo showed up.
Use this list as a source for reflection and maybe add these in your future plans,
for these dictate some trends and pinpoint industries that are going to blow up in the future.
Here are 15 things billionaires are into these days!
Number 1: International travel “How is international travel a thing you
add on the list Alux?” - well, let us finish!
The covid pandemic has been a once in a lifetime opportunity for super wealthy individuals
to travel the world without the overwhelming amount of tourists.
Never before could someone with even middle-of-the-game fame, go stand in front of the Eiffel tower
and not be bombarded by fans or worse, have their lives potentially threatened.
Now with covid, the sites are empty, the face is covered by the facemask so you can move
freely and unbothered.
The super-low number of tourists allows you to take it all in a way you will probably never be able to see again.
Billionaires and the super-rich were not affected by lockdowns.
You might not know this, but almost every government out there made full exceptions for business travelers, because
they wanted the rich to keep traveling while everyone else is in the lockdown.
But travelling doesn’t stop here.
Number 2: Interplanetary travel Now we’re getting into the good stuff.
Yep, we all know Billionaires love rockets! It’s just something about shooting phallus
shaped pieces of metal carrying your name up into the sky.
Branson has made a lot of progress on his space restaurant and hotel side of Virgin Galactic.
Elon is taking a Chinese billionaire and his squad around the moon in 2023
and Jeff just announced that Blue Origin will begin space sightseeing service very soon.
We are witnessing a massive resurgence of space investments. The extremely rich see
space as unexplored territory with tremendous amounts of value to be extracted from it.
If we’ve learned one thing in all these years is that
Humanity follows the money!
Wherever there’s money to be made, there will be development,
so we’re excited to see the world from a distance in the next decade.
Number 3: Juiced up cocktails & supplements We’re not talking about “Raw water”
and these kinds of Silicon Valley overpriced fads.
With the pandemic upon us, the rich took their health incredibly seriously so they put money towards it.
Every rich individual we know is on supplements right now and mixing it up with an array of
other chemical cocktails that are meant to improve thei well being as well as their cognitive ability.
Nootropics and brain enhancing drugs have been available for a while now, but it seems
that more recently there’s been a lot of underground progress in terms of what they can actually deliver.
Everyday we’re getting closer to getting that Limitless pill and of course the rich
will be the first to reap the benefits.
Number 4: Life-prolonging chambers Imagine our shock when in the timeframe of
1 week we’ve seen not one, but two cranes carrying hyperbaric chambers up to the penthouse
apartments of our neighbors. Everyone rich is getting one.
Breakthrough research has shown that hyperbaric chambers stop aging by fixing the regenerative
function of the body and it improves libido. These aren’t as expensive as you think with
the average ones being around 20,000 dollars.
Mix that with a sauna and a cryotherapy chamber and you’ve got the trifecta when it comes to health gadgets.
Number 5: Deep meditation & Ayahuasca sessions Stressful times require more attention to
dealing with stress.
You already know that 4 out of 5 successful people have a daily meditation practice going on in their lives,
but we’ve see a spike in the interest towards deep-introspective
meditations such as the ones we’ve made available with Mind Mastery almost 2 years ago.
It’s like having a therapist and a performance coach mixed together while you’re destressing.
We strongly encourage you to follow the footsteps of the rich and try meditation,
there are plenty of free resources out there to get you started.
If you don’t want to waste time and get straight to the good, valuable, stuff, go to alux.com/meditation right now.
Use promo-code ALUXER at checkout and get a 25% discount on Mind Mastery.
If you are not blown away by the experience, we’ll give you all your money back under the 60 day guarantee,
no questions asked.
Back to our billionaire folks! With meditation on dock, they’re all looking for that next deeper layer.
Many have discovered Ayahuasca in the last 48 months, as a life-changing experience.
We’re in the very early stage of transitioning drugs that focus on psychological healing,
personal growth and expanding consciousness into the mainstream and it seems that ayahuasca
is probably going to be the one to break through.
Number 6: Bunkers We’ve always been fascinated by people who
build bunkers and it doesn’t come as a shock that most billionaires have one for themselves.
At the end of the day, if you can afford it, why wouldn’t you?!
There’s even hope for the mere millionaires, where companies have been creating large scale
underground developments that can accommodate up to 5000 people where one can ride out the
apocalipse if it comes to it.
We made a fascinating video on the details of some of these bunkers which you can check
out by clicking in the top right corner!
Number 7: Farmland Did you know Bill Gates is the largest farmland
owner in the US? - at least until the divorce settles-
His focus is on the next food generation wave coming very soon and they’ve been continuously
buying farmland for a while now.
There’s going to be a big revolution in the way we mass-produce and distribute food,
especially in terms of sustainability. The problem arises when most of the food-producing
land is in the hands of a very few individuals.
Other billionaires like Ted Turner also own massive ranches.
Bezos owns 420,000 acres of land as well.
But the Tech money doesn’t stop with ranches and farmland, they want future proof… well,
their future.
Number 8: Island-Land Hawaii is the go to destination of Island-land
purchases amongst the super-rich.
Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison bought 98% of Lanai in 2012 for an estimated $300 million.
Is it weird that $300 million for 98% of a massive landmass in Hawaii doesn’t sound
like a lot of money? That’s inflation for you!
Mark Zuckerberg is scooping up more property on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
The rich are turning the region into their safe haven. It’s close enough to the mainland,
but far enough that it’s not easy to get to it.
New-Zealand is also a preferred destination for those looking to secure themselves on
an island with prices moving up consistently.
Number 9: Mega-Yachts With global warming being a massive issue
and no clear end in sight, it’s best to have as many escape options as possible,
so the super-rich are looking more and more towards mega-yachts.
These are basically skyscrapers flipped on the side that float. Basically, it can accommodate
everyone you love and everything you love.
We keep mentioning Jeff because he’s been making some moves recently and came under
fire for spending 400 million on a megayacht. We have no problem seeing absurdly rich people
buying expensive things. Tens of thousands of people will be working on the production
of the yacht, so that money will go to their families.
The fact that the mega-yacht needs it’s own mini-yacht, is kinda hilarious tho’
Number 10: Store of value Crypto Everyone is looking towards crypto as a digital
safe haven for wealth.
It’s crazy that you can put 1 billion dollars on a usb stick, put it in your pocket and
leave the country with it. It’s the same with NFTs. If the proverbial shit hits the proverbial fan,
what will you do with all your art?
Unless you’re ready to put it all on shipping containers or hide it in your bunker,
you will need to act fast.
With NFTs, you put all your artwork on the same USB with your billions of dollars and get at it.
You don’t even need the USB stick as long as you remember
you blockchain private keys.
The less educated look at crypto as a speculative game, while the rich look at it from the perspective
of securing their wealth.
More recently Elon Musk - who owns a ton of bitcoin himself - said tesla will not accept
Bitcoin as a payment method due to electrical cost concerns of running the network.
People think the cost of electricity is there to mine new bitcoins, when in reality,
that very little cost is there to protect the 2.3 trillions of dollars of wealth.
Also, don’t get us started on the carbon footprint of fiat.
If you’re under the age of 40 years old, you will live in a future where blockchain technology will be in everything.
There will come a day, when all your wealth will be measured in a store of value crypto, most likely Bitcoin.
We strongly encourage all our community to begin educating themselves on the topic.
We made a course that’s perfect for the complete beginners that gets you up and running in
the shortest possible time frame.
Go to alux.com/bitcoin right now and look into it.
As the same with the Mind Mastery course, if you use the promo code: ALUXER you will get 25% OFF at checkout.
The crypto revolution has already began and it’s still in the super early stages.
Number 11: Brain Machine interfaces We want digital copies of our brains to live
on after we die.
In order to do that, there are multiple technological leaps that need to happen.
We’re not sure you’ve seen Neuralink’s recent demo.
Basically they put a chip inside a monkey’s brain and trained it to play pong only using its brain.
The future is now old man!
There are many billionaires putting a ton of money into basically transforming ourselves into cyborgs.
The story of the brain-machine interface doesn’t stop with output and that’s where things get super crazy.
The moment we begin uploading information to the neocortex, the entire human
species will artificially change.
How cool would it be to be able to use the entire internet as your memory?!
Number 12: Cryogenics Cryogenics is focused on preserving the human
body long enough that technology eventually is able to restart its functionality.
Walt Disney is on ice right now, hoping that someday he will be brought back to life.
Cryogenics has suffered a spike in interest in the recent years but for a different reason.
Long space flights.
You know how in sci-fi movies people get in pods and sleep while the spaceship travels through space?
If we are to become an intergalaxy species, we need to be able to preserve the human body
for as long as possible.
Number 13: Virtual worlds We’ve had a very exciting talk with one
of our richest billionaire friends about the future of humanity and one thing that we realised
is just how big of an impact virtual worlds will have on long-term time horizons.
Here us out: If we become an interplanetary species, with humankind having colonies all
over the universe.. What will connect us? How will we interact with one-another in the
most effective way. It will be through virtual worlds.
We will all connect to the same virtual world and meet each other there.
That’s where we will transact, that’s where we will own land and conduct business.
We’re closing in on a new realm of humanity.
We’re keeping a very close eye on Decentraland and what’s happening over there.
Number 14: Dopamine fasting It’s ironic and almost paradoxical that
the people who are building the most addictive cheap-dopamine platforms are into dopamine fasting.
Dopamine fasting is about removing yourself from anything that creates pleasure for a period of time.
Sex, food, friends, technology, social media, games, entertainment or even casual conversations.
We look at it as:
Being bored on purpose! All you’re left with is yourself.
You can walk, drink water, meditate and maybe write down what you’re feeling.
Honestly, we are all up for some mindfulness and the idea of being still, but we don’t
see it as something we will be picking up for the rest of our life.
We’d rather kick social media to the side and go hiking with friends.
Number 15: Divorces Dunno if you’ve been paying attention to
the news, but Billionaire is getting divorced. Somehow the wealthy have realised that they
have so much money they no longer care about how much money they’re gonna lose in the divorce.
What’s the point in staying in a loveless marriage anyway?
Especially if you want to find love again.
Here’s an interesting observation:
If we look at the top 5 richest people in the world right now, 4 out of 5 have gone through a divorce.
Bezos - check, Elon - Check, Bernard - check. Now Bill Gates is going through it.
Which leaves us looking suspiciously at Mark Zuckerberg.
We’ve broken down the reasons why most billionaires are getting divorced in a dedicated video
which you can check out by clicking in the top right corner.
Contrary to everyone else, the super-wealthy have gotten a lot wealthier in the last 24 months
since the pandemic started and we’re expecting a post-pandemic industrial boom to happen
soon with all that wealth being deployed towards emerging projects and markets.
So we’re asking you: What is your take on all of this? Which of these projects excite you the most?
This is a conversation of the community and we can’t wait to hear from you in the comments!
As for those of you sticking around to the very end, of course there’s a bonus waiting.
Bonus: Inflation proofing their portfolios Since this is a Sunday Motivational video,
we had to keep the value up for the true Aluxers.
Here’s a brutal truth: The bottom 20% experience a different rate
of inflation than the top 20%
Money as currency is being completely diluted.
Here’s a gold nugget for you guys:
If we look at the average Asset inflation rate for the last 2 years, here’s what we see:
• Non-tech stocks: 33% • Stocks: 45%
• Tech stocks: 75% • Crypto: improvements of a factor of 10
• Real Estate is up 15% • Oil: who the f knows, really.
• Gold: 40% • Commodities: 25%
• Agriculture: 25%
Check your investments. If your portfolio isn’t up at least 30-50% in the last 24 months,
they’re robbing you of your wealth.
With the removal of masks and return to normality, people will start spending their savings even more,
the economy will be revitalized, demand will surge, production didn’t improve according
to this new foreseen demand, prices will go up… money is losing purchasing power.
Food companies have increased their prices by 7.5% in Q1 of this year alone.
The rich don’t trust the official numbers, they look at the purchasing power of their money.
The 5X recent increase in the price of bitcoin is just a reflection of that - even
with Elon’s tweets and all that fluctuation.
Any kind of money you have, make sure you don’t hold it too long, because you are
holding a melting ice cube.
This change in financial power will also lead to some crazy opportunities with the boom that we’re foreseeing
