With all of that wealth and influence, you can bet your bottom dollar that successful people know how to spend their evenings out. More often than not it involves doing something impossibly glamorous and incredibly expensive…
DINING
Consistently eating out at the finest restaurants is one of the perks of being very successful and they will have been to the finest restaurants on every continent. Copenhagen’s Noma, Berkshire’s The Fat Duck and Sydney’s Tetsuya’s are all sampled on a fairly regular basis.
THEATRE AND OPERA
Many of the successful are great patrons of the arts and spend their time enjoying theatre and opera on the grandest stages. The Royal Opera House is prohibitively expensive for the majority to be frequent visitors, for the successful however, a trip to the Covent Garden venue is just a standard evening out.
EVENTS
Being very successful means being part of high-society which, in turn, means that they are probably invited to a plethora of events hosted in some of the world’s greatest cities. Private views at galleries, launch parties for designer brands and business functions in the most opulent settings imaginable – all free to attend of course.
THE CLUB
Not one that’s playing minimal tech – but rather one that has grand furnishings, large oil paintings and a billiards room; the gentleman’s club. Many successful people enjoy the exclusivity and serenity of a club, institutions like the Royal Automobile Club, White’s and the Garrick Club have extremely venerable members indeed.
THE SPORTS ARENA
Many of the successful are keen amateur sportsmen and will leave the grind of the office only to do battle in a sporting arena. They may head to their (undoubtedly) private sports club to play tennis or squash, or even be a member of their office football team. The successful are born competitors you see, and constantly need something to compete in.
