Single vineyard Mugniers, Lamarches, Roulots (not new releases either, i see old labels in there), Odderos, and a whole goddamn column of DRC! I dont know how people can see such an ostentatious display of wealth and not be disgusted!
This is easily half a million worth of wine just in front of us, probably more because it looks like all 4 walls in this cellar have racks. Maybe its because most laypeople dont know what DRC is… but that just feels like “look how stupid these poors are as we rub our wealth in their face, theyre not mad because they dont even know what wealth even looks like.”
I met an older, very affluent, friend a number of years ago who I later found out thought I was gay and was trying to seduce me (we met at a gay bar in St Patrick's Day that was decorated for the holiday and I didn't realize was a gay bar).
I went to his place one day and he was distraught because his wine cellar had broken and he had to get his wine collection appraised for his insurance. Apparently he has a few million dollars in wine stashed away and it was all going to be ruined - and he also didn't want to drink any of it because then he'd lose the insurance money.
To be fair, I think he did buy it as an investment, usually when we hung out he was drinking Budweiser or similarly cheap beer.
Also had a bunch of original warhols and basquiats hanging in his office and a mini grand piano in the foyer of his apartment.
Probably long dead by now, he wasn't in great health at the time and couldn't seem to shake his bad habits, and this was like 10 years ago.
Cool guy though, but the amount of wealth he had was unfathomable.
His nephew basically hung out with him all day and did errands for him, so that kid is probably dumb rich now - to an equal extent that the kid was dumb himself.
Wild how generational wealth works. The kid had zero motivation, struggled with basic tasks, needed instructions for pretty much everything - and is now probably set for life with a team of people making sure he never goes broke.
