Money, money, money its a rich Moscow world
Picture this: a woman named Olga, aged 52 (but officially 45) , lives in a 5 bedroom house in the Moscow suburbs, husband works in oil or is it finance? she is not really sure, she has had 2 boob jobs and last year they went to Turkey to an all inclusive 5 star hotel for 3 weeks, she had sex with a waiter (he had a nice bum and white teeth) while Demetri was playing golf, but he does not know about it. Husbands too busy for her, but she has lots of credit cards, (her babies) money is no object. Cesar, her pet poodle, has a diamond dog collar and eats at the table with her and her husband in a doggy high chair, Cesar eats fine herb sausages imported from England and drinks zero fat goats milk.
Next to the pet shop, is a wonderful super market named "Globas Gourmet". Its a feast for the eye and for the stomach. Fine cheeses, Sushi freshly made, the biggest collection of whiskey I have ever seen, fine wines and everything Olga could want for that special dinner party. Up stairs, in this shopping center, you can even buy a Porsche, why not "his and hers" for our birthdays? It really is luxury. Olga drives a BMW, but its two years old time, for a change.
Moscow is a place where some people have so much money that its beyond our comprehension. We could never imagine such wealth unless of course we won the national lottery. How did they get such wealth? that's a question I often ask myself. In Moscow you can smell two things, car exhaust and money.

ReplyDeleteI think those ones you described don't really so rich as they trying to seem. People in this country were living in poorness for decades and once some of them got a chance to earn some money they have started showing everyone around that they are successful now. But if we were able to trace their lives we would see how quick most of them will lose everything ... They don't have a "wealth saving" culture (not sure I'm saying this properly).
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to say that they have some irrational passion to spend every earned (stolen, won whatever) rouble (before somebody in uniform come and win their money away). Maybe some of those poor rich people are smart enough to get good education for their children abroad.
