Ultra-rich people have their own way of using the internet. There are certain applications that they are so into. See for yourself if you can leverage it to your advantage! Here are 15 apps rich people use:
1. Twitter
According to a survey, Twitter ranked as the top app choice of wealthy individuals when it comes to content consumption. “Even ordinary citizens have access to Twitter,” you may say. This may be true, but these elites aren’t on Twitter for caustic tweets and memes like most people do. Instead, they make use of Twitter as a news platform.
Twitter can deliver a real-time news feed that is filtered and customized based on your interests. Hence, you will only see specific news that is within your area of interest and not just some random news on topics you’re not even enthusiastic about.
If you would follow the people you like, establish a diverse list, and periodically engage with people you think highly of— your Twitter account could make a great impact in your life. Similar to how it impacts the life of wealthy people.
2. Raya and Luxy
Dating apps are widespread, but extraordinarily famous and rich people wouldn’t expose themselves on a public dating platform like Tinder, where they might come across malicious individuals who are after them. This is what gave birth to Raya and Luxy.
Raya and Luxy are two different dating applications that are created for wealthy, prominent, and good-looking people. These dating apps are so strict that you’ll get kicked out if your face doesn’t suit their standards and if your finances are under par.
3. Signal and Telegram
Although social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter are widely used for communication, most dm’s wealthy individuals usually take place on Signal or Telegram.
Compared to Facebook, Messenger, and WhatsApp, both Signal and Telegram don’t track their users and don’t back up conversations on iCloud, ensuring the security of their users. Rich people use these apps to secure privacy and to safeguard themselves from prying eyes.
Interestingly, statistics have shown that wealthy individuals are less likely to have Zoom or Google Meet on their phones to separate their personal and professional lives.
4. Vanguard, Fidelity, and Banking Apps
Rich people want to take care of their stocks and cash savings anytime and anywhere, and online apps make this possible for them. Almost everyone nowadays has a banking app on their phone, especially those who often make large transactions or move money around from one account to another.
5. Google and Apple Calendar
Former first lady Michelle Obama said, “Calendar management is the single most important thing, especially as you get busy and have more responsibilities.”
Wealthy individuals value time immensely, so calendars are necessary for them to constantly be reminded of important schedules they couldn’t afford to miss. Otherwise, they might be in trouble.
Google and Apple Calendar are the go-to apps when it comes to time tracking.
6. JamesEdition and Sotheby’s International Realties
Minimum wage earners probably wouldn’t want to spend time browsing through these marketplaces as these two were curated for filthy rich individuals who have nothing else to do with their money but to spend on all their whims. The number of zeros in these marketplaces would make ordinary people sick.
If rich people want to buy $100,000+ worth of watches, they go to JamesEdition and turn to Sotheby for high-end real estate.
7. Tidal, Spotify, and Apple Music
Music is for everybody, and even extremely rich personalities love hearing them! So, of course, they do pay for music subscriptions out there! Tidal is the least familiar music, podcast, and video streaming service among these three apps. But that doesn’t make it inferior compared to the two.
8. iVIP Black, Black Cab, XOJet, and Fly Blade
Ordinary people call Uber for a ride. But for rich people? Uber is a big “NO.” As Uber becomes more and more widespread, the more likely users can get lower-tier cars even while using Uber Select.
Black Cab is the high-end version of Uber, where users are guaranteed to ride premium vehicles like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and even Rolls Royce! When it comes to private air transportation, extremely moneyed people have XOJet and Fly Blade.
On the other hand, iVIP Black lets premium users book tables in exclusive restaurants, and they will be in charge of everything these wealthy people need.
9. Priority Pass and Accommodation Apps
If you have about $1 million in your bank account, Visa or Mastercard will give you better privileges whenever you travel. People who have fat bank accounts have access to the most luxurious lounges all over the globe, giving them an entryway to in-airport hotels, showers, chef-cooked food, and priority lanes boarding.
Even Airbnb gives exclusive offers to the rich called Airbnb Lux, where they get to access ultimate luxury accommodations.
10. Meditation Apps
The world of the rich is a busy one, and this is why silk-stocking individuals are flocking to mindfulness apps with the hopes of cultivating kind attention to their own thoughts and feelings. This helps them reap the physical and mental benefits that come along with mindfulness.
11. Whispers, MyBently, and Tesla App
MyBently and Tesla are the wealthy’s companions for the luxury car they drive, offering free car diagnosis through smartphones. Tesla is working on a summon feature, where Tesla vehicles could drive autonomously within a 60-meter range of a parking lot just by pressing a button on the app. We can bet this would be dope when completed!
Whispers is a premium niche editorial app for the rich. Whispers are the go-to place of the prosperous people for articles.
12. Books App
For wealthy people, getting educated is better than getting entertained. If you would walk into a wealthy man’s home, the first thing you’ll see are books they used to educate themselves on how they get to where they are. On the other hand, the middle class reads tabloids, novels, and entertainment magazines, where there’s nothing to learn valuable.
Physical books are getting replaced by book apps, and so rich pay subscriptions to access valuable textbooks online. Digital books are pretty good because of their low footprint. So, instead of going to physical bookstores, some turn to online apps for education. However, some still love the feeling of holding a book, and thus, they end up getting both.
13. YouTube and Netflix
Rich people love having access to big and on-demand libraries, which YouTube Premium and Netflix provides. Even wealthy people have no control over the airing time of news and their favorite series, so they want online apps like YouTube and Netflix, which can give them the liberty to watch anytime they want.
14. The LVMH App
Perhaps, you’ve seen countless Instagram or Facebook posts where people walk out of luxury stores holding several bags. They are not truly wealthy, and they’re just pretending to be to impress others with the so-called luxury goods they can afford.
True wealthy people don’t go to Louis Vuitton, Gucci, or Dior. These big brands come to their houses instead, bringing a rack of shoes from their latest collection, and these super-rich people get to try them on. If they liked the item, a stock model of the item would be delivered to them in the next few days or weeks.
The purpose of the LVMH or other luxury goods application is to facilitate the item’s delivery.
