Am I a fvckn idiot? My brothers a millionairre?!?!
Ok this is SOOO weird. You grow up with a brother, see him all the time, KNOW him, SPEAK to him almost EVERYDAY.. and have no idea he's a millionairre?
So this is the deal.
I've been looking for a job since I got out of classes for the summer, and have been really persistent in getting a job that pays well. Well, it turns out for the last month and a half I've been practically a bum, flat ass broke and unemployed.
The word goes from my mom to my brother and he gives me a call last week, he's like I got connections and will get you a job that pays well.. I'm like "sure ok thanks bro (thinking w/e he’s prob FOS)"
So today I got to this "exclusive" golf course. And this is the first time in a while I've actually had a few good hours to just actually interrogate him and what he does for a living and it was like a shocking reality when I got done caddying today for the first time in my life...
I shake my brothers hand and leave. Walk over to my car, and pull out $380 cash for **6 1/2 hours** work and am thinking "wtf just happened?" I went from flat ass broke to now having a job where I'll be making ridiculous sums of tax free cash flow caddying for millionaires. yayYYY!!! =]
And I can't deny I've never been this psyched in my life before.. but also confused at the same time.
It all suddenly clicked when we're on like hole 8 and he points out a house he's buying right off the golf course, I'm looking at it and thinking “that’s NOT a house, that’s a fvcking MANSION!!”.
2.3 million dollars he says! My brain was scrambled into pieces. I was like “how did I just happen to not realize this fact?” My brother is filthy fvckn rich.
He’s the vice president of a very large and prestigious stock brokerage firm (I don’t want to mention the name but most people would know it like they know Johnson & Johnson.)
Not only that, but this isn’t a golf course, its literally another world. I have NEVER EVER in my life been in an environment like this. Like I’ve heard the cliché “rich people are arrogant assholes” or w/e but these people are painfully nice. They’re all happy and smiling, they ALL know each other. People are yelling out business propositions to my brother from across the course.
He says there is only about 100 members at this club. Last year it was 50, but they charged $150,000 just for admission + the annual fee and when they dropped the admission fee the number doubled to a little over 100 members this year.
Its weird but this is the way they literally screen out anyone who is NOT a millionaire. We’re talking to people and he’s introducing me to all them saying “this is my little brother, he’s going to be caddying for us at the club so make sure you treat him good”.
Not to mention some of the women I saw, at a fvcking golf club/course?!?! Some could literally pass as supermodels, and I have to admit I’m rarely intimidated by a beautiful woman but their status alone was making my knees shake.
And it’s all clicking in my head.. most of these women are the wives of their wealthy male counterparts. Maybe they’re a bunch of gold digging hot ass money hungry whores in reality, but I’ve never been around such nice & just friendly people in my life. I’m just your average middle class white boy lol. Than my brother went on to explaining that his whole career stemmed off from his caddying job when he was my age. That’s when he finished up his BA and he was caddying for rich people.. he met a lot of wealthy people. And one of them pulled him into a firm which he quickly worked his way to the top of.
But idk just a REALLY weird day. Like it was one of the most random things in the world. To be related to someone, to be the same flesh and blood, and not realize something sooo obvious about them. I came home and first thing I asked my mom was “is [my brothers name] a millionaire?” And she says “yeh” so nonchalantly. So I’ve been on this rant ever since and had to post it here lol.
Just like a form of culture shock I guess. One thing I do know is I’m gonna make a SHITLOAD of $$$ this summer (and through out fall too prob). And I also know I’m gonna kiss ass like I’ve never kissed ass before and milk these m/fkrs for ever penny they’ve got. =]
