Parent First-Class Experience
Share
Sam Parr shares a heartwarming story about using his wealth to create a special experience for his parents.
"After we had our acquisition, I flew my parents first class to Europe and it was awesome. I have this video of them - my father stood up and you know how old people hold their phone with two hands? He's holding his phone, doing a circle, taking pictures of his seat. I have a video of him doing that and it brought me so much joy. I feel happy that I got that video, that made me happy."
Shaan follows up with his own story about treating his family:
"When we sold the Milk Road, my mom was on vacation with all her siblings - she has like 8 or 9 siblings. I got the hotel to call all their rooms at once, saying their massage was ready. I got them all a day pass at the spa in Vegas. It wasn't even that expensive, probably a couple thousand, but for my mom it was like having a mortgage paid off. She felt good that it was good for everybody, not just for her. Doing something nice for her siblings made her feel amazing."
