So when I was a kid I played little league on a team and both of my coaches were extremely rich.  Like we did batting practice all the time because one of the coaches had a batting cage in his home. I became friends with both of their kids and still hang out with them to this day 20 years later.  Funny enough I still call both of them "coach first name".  

As an adult I've come to known that the coach that didn't have the batting cage in his home is the "rich" one.  He truly has "fuck you money".  He would come into the shop and want to chat and I'd be like "sorry we can't chat because we have to work so we can pay our bills".  He would just leave at that point and come back 30 minutes later with a 30 pack of coors light and $3,000 in cash ($1,000 for each of us) and be like so... can we chat now? Absolutely what are you thinking about having us do to your car?  Like he has a family cabin up in the near by mountains and his wife (an heiress) would get in arguments with her siblings over who could take their helicopter to the vacation home because it only had 1 helicopter pad.  After not being able to come up with a fair way they bought the multimillion dollar home next door to their and made it into 2 more helipads....

When me and my wife were getting married he knew.  He asked what we were doing for our honeymoon.  Being mid 20's and running my own little shop I was like "the plan is a 4 days Mexican cruise".  He was like "why so short? You only get married once", well it's all we can afford and we can't really afford to take that much time off work.  He told me he had our honeymoon "covered".  At our wedding there was a little box that said "From coaches \*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*".  We knew it was our honeymoon but we didn't know much past that.  Upon opening it though to say we were blown away would be an understatement.  So on the outside of the box it said "Time to take some time off work, get your passport, and work on your tan".  

Inside the box was $20,000 in cash and a package which showed where we were going, how we were getting there, and how long we were staying there.  The excess money was to be used for home since we weren't working and most of what they got for us was all expenses paid trip.  We went to Tahiti on a private jet and it was so lavish we felt bad.  Like 2 blue collar people being waited on hand and foot was not a normal feeling for us to say the least. 

Long story short, always invite the rich people to your wedding because they can be very generous.  Love you coaches &lt;3
