I'm a retired pilot who worked for royalty. I had no idea how the rich spent their money.

"I started flying when I was 12. My parents had a little cabin northwest of Montreal that we'd go to in the summer. A nearby air service company had four or five airplanes. I talked my dad into going and seeing if I could get a job. They said: 'Yeah, sure. We can't pay you though, because you're underage.' My job was fueling the airplanes, loading baggage, and whatever else. In return, the pilots taught me how to fly."
