You know him. The fabulously wealthy guy, who rubs shoulders with the rich and famous, the movers and shakers of industry, and may even have connections in the political arena. The one sitting on top of more capital than most people can imagine and more than they themselves will ever be able to spend in a lifetime. Add dashing good looks, boyish charm, swank tailored suits, lavish living in a downtown penthouse loft and a countryside mansion, a huge yacht, luxury cars, hanging out in VIP-only lounges in nightclubs, and weekend excursions on the Rio Grande or the Virgin Islands and it’s no wonder they’re regarded as part of the “jet set”. The combination of wealth, power, and charisma draws women to them in droves — and he exults in it, because he can have his pick among supermodels and starlets… In addition to wealth and a glamorous personal style, playboys are cosmopolitan and well-read. They can discuss the novels of Norman Mailer, and Kurt Vonnegut, chat about Nietzche’s philosophy or Picasso’s painting style, favorite stagings of La Bohème, and debate political issues. The playboy has a well-rounded education, which allows them to be at ease conversing with everyone with from authors and artists to CEOs and heads of state. Playboys are also gourmands with a refined palate. Their wine cellar and liquor cabinet includes rare, imported bottles. Their drink of choice is an elegant cocktail. Pipes and fine cigars are also appreciated. Favorite playboy hobbies include gambling at elite casinos (Blackjack, roulette, etc); hanging out with business elite at wood-paneled private club; gala, black tie Classical Music events; art openings at fancy galleries; auction houses for fine art; posh equestrian events and other Snooty Sports; and luxury travel in their private jet to glamorous and exotic locations (French Riviera, Paris, Rome, tropical beaches). In spy thrillers and heist films, they may be part of a “Caper Crew”. Usually as the one covering the group’s expenses, and just as likely to use their connections to bail the team out of a tight spot, should it become necessary. Ones with fighting skills are likely to be “Cultured Badasses”. For villainous examples see “Man of Wealth and Taste”… ~ Millionaire Playboy – TV Tropes
