[quote=Anonymous]My sister's FIL is extremely wealthy. I don't know how wealthy, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn it's 9 figures. I went on a vacation with her once to the Bahamas, which is where he winters his yacht. I don't remember the name of the island, but it's one that's only accessible by private jet (we flew in his from Florida). I was in my early 20s, and it was the craziest thing I've ever experienced. There were these insane yachts, and all the people I met in their 20s were just unbelievably rich and talking about these other exclusive rich people areas they summered.

I'm not describing it well, but I got the distinct impression that these people live in a completely different world. So talking about where these people vacation doesn't really begin to explain it. This place was just a couple islands over from where all the cruise ships land in Nassau, but it may as well have been on another planet.

DH and I went to Corsica a couple of years ago and stayed in a hotel that was near the marina in Bonifacio. There was a similar vibe to the yachts there. It's not like we were exactly slumming it (I think our hotel was like $1K/night), but it was obvious there was a different world right next to us.[/quote]
