Highrollers - Where does their money come from?

[iFruitz]

I have been wondering lately, how do highrollers have so much money to spend on women? Do they come from rich family with generational wealth? Are they self-made man working hard in early years and reaping rewards later in life? Did they bet their life savings on black and win? I really envy those rich men... Also, another trend is that from what I have seen, so many highrollers are Singaporean? I think this one is because of generational wealth being passed down for sure.

On a side note, what ever happened to working hard to become successful in life when some lucky buggers get passed down the big bucks :(

[JJBlows]

Singaporeans work hard and also because it's one of the financial hubs of the world that there are opportunities to make money, I did work for a guy here that his father started his own version of ASOS clothes in Singapore and it took off and he became a billionaire though you are right about generational wealth as the son ended up with the money when his old man died.

These guys who splash so much cash on escorts are probably because they are lonely and so busy tied up in the business or work that they can't manage a proper relationship so they have ones for an hour at their convenience.

Some people I know work hard, two mates of mine run their own plumbing business, just the two of them but they work hard for their money and roll around in rolex's and have their money tied up in good investments.

Don't ever become envious of another person's wealth because you should focus on what you have in the moment.

I totally agree with that sentiment. Comparison is the theft of joy. I'll try to keep this in mind moving forward.

Some money may be made illegally. Better to spend it and enjoy yourself, rather than having to explain later how you got it.

[legitl]

Some people just work hard and want to spend it all.

Unfortunately their are a few on here that are envious of other peoples success. God knows, I've copped abuse for being successful and sharing my life experiences.

Funnily enough they are the same ones who just about criticise everyone without providing any of their worthwhile experiences

[rooter]

I have no respect for people who just inherit wealth, but hey good luck to them, life is a lottery.
I do have respect for people who have started with little and made their money through hard work, taking risks, wise decisions, and maybe a bit of luck too.
How people choose to enjoy their money is up to them.

[thelastdance]

Don't look sideways. Best advice ever.

Most likely founding a business and then selling it for millions when it’s finally of scale. That’s how you make wealth… not by grinding for 20 years and climbing the ladder (sadly). Comes with risk, but obvious reward

Such as drug trafficking or money laundering (as seen at the casinos) and in turn pay no tax. I guess they can't put the money in the banks.

Thats exactly what I did, based halfway between Sydney and Newcastle, with a substantial client base and goodwill. Sold after 15 yrs.

Now in my own private way, paying some of my success back

Accept yourself and be happy. And live within your means.

I make only to be able to afford a cheap $200 punt once or maybe twice a week. I'm happy with it and don't think of meeting a classy young sugarbaby. Of course there are the fortunate brothers here who have done fabulously well to have sugarbabies.

We are people of different abilities. That's what makes this world so interesting. There is a place for everyone.

100%.. It's all about what you want. I don't punt often, but when I do, I want to make sure I get good value for the money. If you can save & have patience, you can surely find good punts..... Though it's not sustainable with financial constraints but once in a while, we do deserve good stuff.

wealth doesn't come from selling and manufacturing luxury items, it just means there is a higher cost involved for percentage return, the real money is in everyday common things that people need like food, so think small when first starting out than grow to build greater wealth

Exactly, my business was transporting fuel from Terminals in Sydney and Newcastle to regional areas and north coast.
A commodity needed on a large scale.
I started as an owner driver with one truck and progressed from there.

Fax...Maslow's HoN's is quite simple - food, clothing, shelter, sex, health - the most fundamental of human needs. You can't wrong.

And would have thought that a roll of toilet paper would become the most sought after possession during the pandemic!

Do you need another pat on the back juscruising58?

You are such a fuckwit, can't comment on anybodies posts without displaying your vapid hate for anyone that has a different opinion or is more successful than you

[dotcumdotinyou]

What's wrong now juscruisin58...preparation h not working for you?

On the 7th July you told us that "we have decided this will be our last time on here" so why are you back? I know "laughing at a lot of us who have really no idea".

Actually, you can't stay away because you have a need to tell anybody how good you are, how "more successful than anybody else" you think you are. You're a legend in your own mind aren't you.

Dear oh dear, you certainly are a sick puppy.
I don't see what your problem with me is.
I dont laugh at you, I actually feel sorry for you as you can't see the forest for the trees.
I'm sure there is others on here that have been far more successful than me in so many ways.
If I felt I had a need to tell anybody how good I am, I would actually state my net worth, all I have done is state that I have been fortunate enough to be reasonably successful and I've got a girl.
Your jealousy is sad actually.

Little wonder contributors are not contributing and are leaving this forum, when they can't be honest and open without being trolled, harassed and ridiculed.
Again you are a sad individual

[GoldfishMan]

To OP, I'm not sure what your definition of "high roller" is, but I know a few that I would call that. One thing I'm sure of is I wouldn't expect to bump into them around any of the shops that are popular on this forum. Agency girls only. They can afford it and the quality is almost guaranteed.

One of them has money from rich dad in China, but kudos to him, he's gone out and started businesses with the money and seems to be working really hard to make them successful. How rich? House in lower Northshore, gambles in the Star VIP ("up stairs, $300 per pokie slap").

Another dude, I'm not sure if his family was rich, but he made heaps of money on his own by doing "Vancouver Model" money smuggling from China to Oz for many years. Also very savvy with his money, started some other legit businesses. Yes, another Star VIP this one.

These are who I would call real high rollers. When you see how much they are able to spend ($200 per pokie slap, $10k per Bacarrat hand, $200k island holiday, $100k Hermes handbags), then $600/hr to fuck a hottie Agency girl really isn't much money at all.

Capitalism basically.

Sleazy Wall Street bankers are synonymous with strippers and high class hookers for a reason. They are not hesitant to spend like $7000 for an hr with agency WLs.

The case with Singapore is interesting. They have their own casino. Actually more than one. For a tiny city state it's impressive or indulgent whichever way you want to look into it. If you look into oligarchs of Singapore, the first generation of them actually were pioneers of a kind. Whether in banking, real estate, food industry etc. When it comes down to present, alot are second or third gen managing or inheriting the family empire.

I know one of one, not close friends, but anyway his dad owned a diverse business including Plantation in Costa Rica at one point. His business kinda went into hard times and on verge of collapse during Asian financial crisis but Chinese mainland money bailed him out as they wanted part of his raw material business. It was fortunately for him before the current cold war by US and coincidentally during the "go out and invest" campaign in China when they were was flushed with cash and they encouraged Chinese state and private companies to invest abroad, anyway long story short, his dad company was saved and even though the family now only holds minority share, it prevented bankruptcy and was enough to start another round of investment and rebirth. He nows live comfortable life and was rumored privately but not confirmed, had cheated his wife with young models and miss Singapore contestants.

You hiring? I'll quit my job and work for you right now

I sold the business a while back and have invested some in real estate, sorry not an employer any more.

Organized crime. The recent investigations into Crown and Star casinos indicate that the Chinese high rollers were flown in to wash proceeds from the drug trade.

Agreed...I worked in the casino industry for many years..probably about 70 to 80% of the high rollers are/ or have been involved in some sort of criminal behaviour.

[Riff888]

Contracting on a daily rate plus super is pretty good for skills like SQL, SAS, Pega, Python, Alteryx or PowerBI.

Daily rates of $850 to $1,200 before tax are quite common for up to 6 month terms.

The real trick is trying to reduce your tax.

High roller is a broad term. A worker / employee will never be a high roller no matter how successful you are at climbing the ladder, even if you make it to the C-Suite (generally speaking in Australia). Most will require some form of venture i.e. starting a business and selling it, doing property development etc, and preserving/growing wealth from those exits via investments.

For better or worse, Australia is less flamboyant with its "high rollers" because we're a nation with tall poppy syndrome, and people are encouraged to fit in. Means there's less ultra wealthy people (as a proportion of total population), but we also have better overall living standards for all. This culture doesn't exist in Asia and America which are much more capitalist.

[warwick1]

I started with nothing and I've got half of it left!

[fried rice]

Whenever I find myself comparing to others, I tell myself there's someone out there that started off with less, or in a more disadvantaged position and still made it. It helps me be more positive when I look at the situation like that.

I'm not too sure if I'm a high roller but I do earn enough to punt at least twice a week (average $300/punt) while still being able to pay for living expenses and have some surplus for monthly savings.

There was a point where I got a little addicted that I punted 3-4 times a week, then I felt I had enough so I went back to punting twice a week. During that period I didn't break the bank because I was getting higher returns from investment - there will come a time when you suddenly have so much money that you want to live out your sexual fantasies with it.

Financial wise I have a higher than average paying job + investments, emergency savings that can last me 6 months without a job and all debts paid off. Took me 6 years to get to this point, and during those 6 years I was only able to afford $150 shops once or twice a month.

Bro life is all luck, like abro said before you either luck out by being born rich or you create your own lucky through your own efforts.
Your skills and level of competency has a price tag, the better you are the higher the price.

Sum it up, high rollers create their own lucky, they understand how the world works and understand energy (or some form of the laws of energy and laws of attraction.)

Highrollers all have different methods of making money, but they all understand and are ground in principles that date back to start of civilisation.

Luck as in karma?

Time to burn some Joss sticks and start praying to the god of wealth!
