What do ridiculously rich people (like Bill Gates etc.) ask for/get for Christmas/birthdays/etc.? (sh.itjust.works)

I know money can't buy happiness blahblahblah.

Do they do gift exchanges at all?

Do they ask for anything?

They have enough money that they could get anything made or done for them at a moment's notice. Like having ChatGPT, but for services. Ridiculous things we couldn't imagine.

Anyone have any insight into general trends along those lines?

I’m hardly Bill Gates but can buy myself most anything I want.

Quality time with loved ones is the best birthday present.

    Is it more like you decide what to do, and you ask loved ones to take the day off?

    Or you ask them to plan something to do together?

    (Not meaning to pry or anything, I'm just curious how the motivation works)

    And if you'd like to share, what was your most memorable birthday present/experience?

    I don't mean to offend, but are you asking how to spend quality time with your loved ones?

    Either of those options works, imo. Or you don't need to plan anything at all, just "meeting up for coffee" is nice.

    Yeah, no worries, I was just wondering if it works differently for rich people, lol

    At a certain level of richness, if someone says "I can't, I'm working", the rich person could say "I'll pay you for the day" or something, lol
