  1. I am also old and i mean OLD aristocracy , Danish, Norwegian, French, Russian and British , my direct family tree dates back to the 5th century and after that it become part legend part history since we can go back to the Gallic empire . And there is one thing about modern aristocrats that is common to all of them , it is this tendency to invent a purpose to their life as not to appear unoccupied . They truly invent purposes , they are artists , designers, free lancers of course . God forbids they show that they really don't need the money . I despise these types . If you are wealthy , flaunt it or do something relevant with your life, don't just invent an occupation that costs you more money than it brings you , so that you have something to complain about . I could spend my life just living in hotel suites and travelling , and i sadly did that for a while , there was nothing more vapid and unrewarding . I went back to school became a veterinarian and today the only money i spend is on animals and on my kids and friends . I wake up at 6am and never sleep before midnight, exhausted after 14 hours working, but now i have real friends who like me for what i do , not who i am . My family owns 17 castles over 4 countries and i don't even know how many other residences . I inherited 3 castles one in Scotland and two in France and 5 manors in London, Oslo, St Petersburg, Paris and everything has been turned into something useful . The castle are all used for animals , we opened shelters there for farm animals rescued from the slaughterhouse , and animals rescued from fur factories, circuses, horrid zoos and movie sets , people who live in the castle are either vet students or true animals lovers in need of a temporary place to stay with their pets until they get situated . Two manors are used as an alternative hospice for elderly and for physically and mentally challenged people and the one in Russia is a gay center where the LGBT community can feel really safe and where the russian anti gay nonsense can't reach and hurt them . I would feel pathetic organizing art festivals in my backyard . Money is only worth spending if it is spent to help others (mostly animals in my case, i am not so empathetic toward people , except the disabled) and life is only meaningful if it doesn't solely benefit yourself and if you use yours to helps others .
