I Tried Living in the World's Richest Town
Category
🗞
NewsTranscript
00:00This is the world's richest town where billionaires live because there's more private jets than cars
00:05$20,000 a night hotel rooms and some of the most expensive stores on earth. How much is this?
00:09It's 19,000. This one is 84,000. What is the most expensive caviar you have?
00:13You see the price between six and seven thousand. In this video
00:16We'll explore it all to see why billionaires really live here starting with the town's most luxurious hotel the stag palace
00:23You might have seen it in movies
00:25It's been called a billionaire's paradise
00:27So this is all going through our head as we got off the train and arrived in shot or good dog
00:31Don't need to look for directions for our hotel because you can see it from anywhere in town
00:34It's really not that far
00:35But the palace still sends a private driver to bring you there and help with your bags
00:39This is definitely the quality of service you would expect for a hotel this expensive because I booked the cheapest room in the hotel
00:44And it still cost me over fourteen hundred dollars a night
00:46This video won't be cheap
00:48But as we started to check in entering the hotel kind of felt really intimidating, but we did get lucky
00:53You have been given enough for eight years old to be in a classic room and you're going to be up on the fourth floor as well
00:58We got a better room for free. I don't think the stag palace where there'd be rolexes in the elevator
01:02Oh my gosh
01:04We came all this way to answer one question
01:05Could the average person actually afford to live a good life in the richest town in the world to find out
01:10We're going to track every penny I spend while we're here. Hopefully I don't go broke
01:14And so far it's not looking great because there are photos of celebrities that have stayed here on the walls
01:18Designer bags for sale and private jet ads in the hallways. There's no way
01:23But anyways, this is our room
01:25Let's see what our hotel room looks like in the world's richest town
01:28Thanks to the upgrade the room we got is actually pretty big
01:30First thing you see when you walk in they give you like a plate of fresh fruit and chocolate
01:34Do you think the people that stay here are so fancy that they use forks knives and napkins to eat like an orange?
01:39Probably
01:40You get a tiny little box of free chocolate
01:43Super comfortable throne
01:44It's just a chair
01:45Here's your bed
01:47Whoa
01:47That is the most comfortable pillow i've ever laid on
01:50Here's a really big tv
01:51Fancy water
01:52And a desk with a coffee machine and an ancient phone
01:55Looks like a nokia
01:56But that's when I found this the room service menu
01:59And let me tell you this menu is filled with foods so expensive
02:02I've never even heard of them
02:03Like beef entrecote for 72 dollars
02:06Weird soups for over 50
02:08And a salad
02:10How much is ham and cheese toast?
02:12Here it's 28 dollars
02:13Or you can get the most expensive thing here
02:15Potatoes with caviar for 300
02:17So here's the bathroom
02:19This is definitely one of the nicest hotel bathrooms i've ever seen
02:21Like you get a view when sitting on the toilet
02:23There's also a phone in the bathtub
02:25I guess in case you want to order room service while you're taking a bath
02:28And even though the room is this nice the town is on another level because
02:31Instead of a mcdonald's and starbucks the main street only has the most expensive stores in the world
02:35We need some souvenirs
02:37But they might be the most expensive souvenirs we've ever bought
02:39Like almost every store sells clothes for over a thousand dollars
02:42There's a private jet shop
02:43That's what that is
02:44The wealth here is crazy
02:45We found super expensive watches in the windows
02:4733 000
02:49Here's a bag that's 3400 dollars
02:52And this bomber jacket
02:53I couldn't believe it but it literally costs over seven thousand dollars
02:56For a jacket
02:57You could get a similar one on amazon for like 30
02:59So we went in a shop selling ski clothes and found goggles that were super expensive
03:03Sneakers that are over 600
03:05That's just crazy
03:07And just guess how much these forks and spoons cost
03:09I'll give you a second
03:11820 bucks
03:13You could buy a whole kitchen table for that much
03:15So to find a souvenir i could afford we had to keep looking
03:18You can buy swiss army knives
03:19This one costs 75 francs
03:21Even a stationery store is expensive
03:23Because I found a pen that costs more than a laptop
03:26Wow
03:27That pen costs over a thousand dollars
03:29So I was especially concerned when I found this
03:32I found a pen for two thousand dollars
03:34No way
03:35Yeah
03:37What literally happens when it runs out of ink?
03:40So for now we stuck with a souvenir that doesn't cost more than rent
03:43Just these two magnets please
03:45But to really see how expensive life can get here
03:47We walked into this art gallery across the street
03:49And immediately you see these giant animal sculptures around the entrance
03:53How much is this?
03:54This one is uh 84 000
03:5684 000
03:57Yes
03:58This one is 26 000
04:00We got to meet the gallery manager Pascal
04:02Who was super nice and told us what life was like here
04:04I live here since December
04:07Yes
04:07Okay
04:07What do you think of it so funny?
04:09Ah
04:09I like it
04:10I like it
04:11But it changes a lot
04:12Because the weather's not so cool
04:14It's not gonna be so cool
04:16And he even told me the most expensive thing they sell
04:18Very big gorillas
04:21Oh cool
04:21This one who's uh which is 138 000
04:25Whoa
04:26He was awesome and told us we were welcome to go explore the gallery
04:29Everyone has been extremely nice so far
04:31And this place is insane
04:32It feels like an art gallery from a spy movie
04:34There are all sorts of fancy paintings and of course the expensive gorilla statues he mentioned
04:38There's an iron man gorilla
04:40I'm sitting because i'm afraid i'm going to knock something over and they're no longer hostage because we can't afford to pay for the game
04:47It would probably take a couple lifetimes to pay for everything in this building like this really tall lion statue
04:52It's huge
04:53Either that or you're small
04:56Anyways you can buy these really crazy animal chairs Pascal told us this one cost about 19 000
05:01That is like the weirdest chair i've ever seen
05:03And there's a matching stool made out of puppy dolls
05:05I know it costs probably a million dollars
05:07But i kind of want that
05:08And a bar stool made out of fake monkeys
05:10He would say these prices are bananas
05:15I'm funny
05:15We really had a great time here but some of the things they sell are hilarious
05:18You have to have a blue gator in the middle of your living room
05:20And i guess it costs over 30 grand
05:22I guess i look like a snack
05:25You're done
05:26But our chopping can make you hungry and luckily we found a pizzeria
05:29Just a table for two
05:31And here you'll pay at least 20 bucks for a personal pizza
05:33Can i have the uh spicy salami pizza?
05:36I got salami and sam got a classic margarita pizza
05:39I'm so excited
05:40So with drinks lunch cost almost 60 bucks but let me tell you it was so worth it
05:45That's really good
05:47But luckily if you don't like restaurants there's this
05:49It's a grocery store vending machine
05:51That's so cool
05:52Wait how do you get eggs and they don't break?
05:54Eggs are seven francs
05:56Peppers for six
05:57There's corn
05:58And tons of meat options
06:00Veal
06:01Chicken cordon bleu for 12 francs
06:04Actually a good price
06:05Tomato sauce for 30 francs
06:07And of course there's a real grocery store which also is not cheap
06:10Like there's a bottle in the front window that costs over a hundred thousand dollars
06:13That's disgusting
06:14You can have a college education or that bottle
06:17Inside is everything you would expect from a grocery store
06:19Just with more expensive prices
06:21That's 40 per kilo of mangoes
06:2320 for bananas
06:24And there's this giant bottle of wine for almost 600
06:27So we just grabbed these three snacks to head back to our hotel
06:30But just those three things still cost us about 20 bucks
06:33I've never seen a grocery store before that advertises its most expensive item
06:37In the window at the front
06:39Do you live here in Shtan?
06:41How is it living here?
06:42Good
06:42Nice
06:43Yeah
06:44Living in Shtan
06:48Not good
06:49Not
06:50Holiday is okay
06:51Uh most of the year it's quiet but during the holidays it's good
06:54Yeah but normally it's okay
06:56Thank you
06:57For you
06:58Thank you bro
06:59Yes thank you
06:59Thank you
07:01When we got back to the room I found this book
07:03When we checked in they told us concierge can basically do anything for us
07:06And apparently they can book you a horse carriage ride
07:08Or a helicopter ride around the Alps
07:09So of course I had to know how much these would cost
07:12It's like a helicopter flight?
07:13Yes so there is the possibility to organize on the dorm
07:16But the price are going between 720 Swiss franc for the 15 minute flight
07:22Until the big tour 80 minutes 3625 Swiss franc
07:28Yeah that's
07:29That's a lot
07:30Luckily I found this
07:31The room comes with a spa menu
07:33There's something called a clinic Geneva treatment
07:35$400
07:36A two-hour health consultation
07:38To heal dead tissues
07:39Restore organ function
07:40As well as working in a deep level of the brain
07:42For 750 francs
07:44I guess if that's something you need help with
07:45That's a lot of money though
07:47Anyways it's dinner time
07:49We're the only ones here
07:51We're the only ones here in the restaurant
07:52There are a bunch of restaurants here in the shot palace
07:55And they told us most of them were fully booked
07:57So for dinner this was our only option
07:59First course
08:00It was ratatouille and it was really some of the best vegetables I've ever had
08:03Easy 8 out of 10
08:04But then
08:05Main course
08:07We had beef filet which we agreed it was like a 4 out of 10
08:11But what's crazy is that whole dinner cost over 250 bucks
08:13But because the hotel gives us a daily food credit of 120 per person
08:17I only had to pay like 16
08:18But then on the way back to the hotel room we found the hotel gift shop
08:21Which had this sweater
08:22It cost a hundred dollars but it's the perfect souvenir so I got it
08:25Souvenir acquired
08:27But it's bedtime now because I have a plan for the morning
08:32Oh good morning
08:34It's early it's like 7.30
08:36And that's exactly why I'm up because apparently at 8am the best part of the hotel opens
08:40Otherwise there's no way I'd be up this early
08:42Welcome to the pool
08:43Trust me this is one of the coolest pools I've ever seen
08:45It starts here inside but it goes outside
08:48You just press this button underwater to open the sliding door
08:51And then swim your way outside
08:52The pool is heated so it's not too cold
08:54And because it's so early I get to swim all by myself
08:57You can see all the snow covered mountains
08:58And of course you get a view of the palace itself
09:01Then to go back inside you just push this button again
09:03This is so fun
09:05That never gets old
09:07But if that's still not enough pool for you
09:08There's also an indoor pool
09:09It looks so fancy
09:11I tried going in but that is cold
09:13This indoor pool is beautiful but there's a reason it's empty
09:15They even hand you a pool menu
09:17But of course the food is not cheap
09:19Hamburgers 38
09:20You can get a salad by the pool for 42 dollars
09:23Or a vegan sandwich for 32
09:25Luckily we just got our normal hotel breakfast free with our room
09:27It was actually so good
09:29I mean just look at that
09:30But to learn the truth about Shtod there was one thing we had to do
09:34What's your name?
09:35Walter
09:36Walter
09:36I actually saw Walter yesterday with this dog in the front seat
09:39Is that your dog?
09:40Sitting with you?
09:42Oh
09:43What's his name?
09:44Glenn
09:45Glenn?
09:46So I guess Glenn just helps with the tours
09:48Oh that's amazing
09:49We have a golden retriever at home as well
09:51But we miss ours
09:52He is so cute
09:53It's amazing
09:55Aww
09:56And one thing was instantly clear
09:57Glenn and Walter really love their job
09:59Walter do you live here in Shtod?
10:01Yes, I live here
10:02Do you like it?
10:03Yes, I do
10:05For me it's the nicest place of the world
10:09It's a good way to live
10:11It's a very nice house
10:12It's four or five year old
10:14It's old wood
10:15You make
10:16Walter told us he used to be a woodworker
10:18But now he mostly just gives tours
10:20For me it's a nice business
10:22Now I'm old
10:23I make only the horse can
10:25Aww
10:27You're still young
10:28But this has to be a fun job too as well
10:30I think it's a good life
10:31Absolutely
10:32Walter was just so nice and showed us everything
10:34The highest mountain well gone is 3,417 meters
10:42And then he even took us driving on the city's main road
10:45Of course we can go fast
10:46It felt like we were going at least 25 miles an hour
10:48Until we got back into the main town
10:50I've never been to any town in the world like this
10:53We're in the middle of Switzerland
10:54But it's English speaking
10:56We really had such an amazing day thanks to Walter
10:58Thank you, Walter
10:59Thank you so much
11:01And Glenn too
11:03Honestly, I don't know if I've ever met anyone as friendly as Walter
11:06He just seems truly happy with his life and his job
11:09I want to be like Walter one day
11:10So much
11:11You're welcome
11:11So close
11:14Here for you
11:16Thank you
11:16Thank you very much
11:17Also, do you have a favorite restaurant in town you recommend?
11:20I think
11:21If you go this way
11:23Or hotel wrestling
11:24Okay
11:24This is very good
11:26Okay
11:26Thank you so much
11:27Thank you
11:27I'm welcome
11:28Yes, have a great day
11:29Bye Glenn
11:34That was awesome
11:34That was so fun
11:35We're missing our dog
11:36A lot
11:37Awww
11:38But that helped
11:39Everyone's been so nice
11:41So nice
11:41Because of Walter's advice we had to come here
11:44This is the place Walter says we should try
11:47It's a swiss restaurant
11:48Meaning they have a lot of foods we never have heard of before
11:51Smells cheesy
11:52Smells like cheese
11:54But immediately one thing really stood out on the menu
11:56Something called a breaded chicken steak with fries
11:59It's called the chicken steak
12:01Let's review it
12:02Yes, can we both have the chicken steak with french fries?
12:04Yes
12:05Thank you
12:05I agree
12:06Turns out it was every eight-year-old's dream lunch
12:08A giant chicken nugget with fries
12:10So how did it taste?
12:12I mean it tasted exactly how a giant chicken nugget would taste
12:14It was one of the best things I ever ate
12:16I'd give it an eight out of ten
12:17Anyways if you want to move to Shtod you'd go here
12:20It's a realtor selling all types of fancy homes
12:22That looks like our castle
12:24That one's beautiful
12:25That's like a super mansion
12:28Pool right on the water
12:29And online they're selling a palace for 38 million
12:32And a castle for 35
12:34You can definitely tell that things are very quiet and relaxed here
12:36Apparently celebrities love it here
12:37And Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted here just about a week ago
12:40I can understand why billionaires and celebrities might want to come here
12:43Because you can live somewhat a normal life
12:45And their families just get a safe beautiful snowy place to live
12:48Can you imagine growing up here?
12:49That is such a crazy unique childhood to have
12:51To truly live like a billionaire
12:53There's one store we found earlier this week I needed to try here
12:55It's a shop selling expensive rare caviar
12:58So this restaurant specializes in caviar
13:00And just look at the prices
13:02The cheapest thing they have is like $15
13:05And it goes all the way up to $1600
13:07I think I have to give it a try
13:08If you didn't know caviar is just tiny fish eggs
13:11And it's apparently one of the most expensive foods in the world
13:13It doesn't sound or look that good
13:15I am not really looking forward to this
13:17Like am I missing out?
13:19Why do rich people love it so much?
13:20I just wanted to try caviar I've never tried it before
13:22You've never tried it?
13:23Yeah so I wanted to just
13:24For me the very good is the oyster
13:26Okay
13:27I think I'll go with your recommendation
13:28Yes
13:29If you want to try it?
13:30The texture freaked me out at first
13:31But then
13:32Wow that is really good
13:34I love that one
13:34Thank you
13:35Thank you
13:35What's your name?
13:36Lutzia
13:37And what's your name?
13:38My name is Drew
13:39Drew?
13:39Drew yes
13:40Do you live here?
13:41No just visiting
13:41First time in Stade
13:43And it's been nice
13:43Do you live here in Stade?
13:44Yes
13:45I live in Stade
13:46Now it's my third year
13:48What's it like to live?
13:49Because visiting it's amazing
13:50But I can't imagine living here around the year
13:52How is that?
13:53It's so difficult
13:54When you're young it's difficult because the price is so hot
13:58You can't go in the
13:59You can go in the bar but
14:01When you see the price of the beer
14:0315 francs for one beer
14:04The cocktail is 24 francs
14:06I do my money here
14:07And when I have holidays in April, May
14:09I go back in France
14:10Because I live in France
14:12And I spend my money in France
14:14But now for the money it's my money
14:16If you want to try sir
14:17Okay
14:17This is the caviar berry
14:19Honestly it quickly became one of my favorite things
14:21I've eaten on this entire trip
14:23Overall I love it
14:24It's perfect
14:24I was expecting not to like it
14:26But I see why it's so popular
14:29It's super expensive for just a little bit
14:31But it was actually really good
14:33I'm curious what is the most expensive caviar you have?
14:36The beluga
14:37The beluga
14:38You see the price
14:39My owner touched the beluga
14:41For one kilo
14:42He paid between six and seven thousand
14:45The beluga albinos
14:47The white caviar egg
14:48And this is between 12 and 15k
14:51Wow
14:52About a kilogram
14:53Have you tried it?
14:53No
14:54No
14:55I want to try but we never tried it
14:57It's the best of the world
14:58But it's not the same price
15:00I'll have to try that next time
15:02Okay
15:03Thank you sir
15:03Yes thank you so much
15:04Thank you too
15:05See you soon
15:06So I was not expecting to spend that much money
15:08But I was extremely impressed
15:09I guess caviar is really good
15:11Yeah so just this much was over a hundred dollars
15:14It's like the size of airpods
15:16Late night in Stade when you're hungry
15:17There's only one option
15:19Wallys
15:19Wallys is basically the only fast food option in Stade
15:22And apparently they make the best burgers in town
15:24They have burgers and hot dogs on their menu
15:26Plus one super fancy option
15:28Could I have a cheeseburger
15:30And a wagyu burger and french fries?
15:3273 and 53 please
15:34Okay
15:35Yeah these are definitely not normal fast food prices
15:37So I was really hoping to eat one of the best burgers of my life
15:41Voila
15:42I'm sure you've wondered what does fast food taste like in the world's richest town
15:45Wallys
15:46So I went to the only fast food place in Stade
15:48We got two cheeseburgers and french fries
15:50This cost us 75 dollars
15:53Because I got the wagyu burger
15:56But still two burgers and fries would cost 15 dollars at McDonald's
15:59In Stade it cost me 73
16:01This is the wagyu burger
16:02It definitely looks a little different than a normal burger
16:05This isn't their normal cheeseburger
16:06And this one looks like a perfect burger to me
16:08I don't mind taking this one and Sam will get the fancy wagyu
16:11It's made with Australian wagyu
16:17That is really good
16:18Immediate thoughts?
16:21Five guys is way better
16:24Yeah
16:24They are good
16:25They're not worth 75 dollars
16:27No I would pay 75 dollars if I was dying of hunger
16:31Anyways there was one more thing we needed to see before bedtime
16:35And it was absolutely magical
16:38How is this real?
16:39This is the craziest view from a swimming pool I've ever had
16:42It really feels like we're in a movie
16:43Moments like this make me feel really grateful to have this job
16:46And to get to go to places like this to make videos for you guys
16:49We just got back to the room and they did what's called turndown service
16:52Meaning they just got the bed in the room ready for us to go to sleep
16:55Look how
16:55Look how
16:56I look dumb in this
16:58Look how detailed this is
16:59They curl down your blanket so it's ready for you to sleep
17:02They left a breakfast pre-order form
17:04You just choose what you want
17:05Put it on your door and you'll wake up to breakfast the next morning
17:08They set out your slippers
17:10And they left us tiny chocolates
17:12The level of service here is insane
17:14Good night shtad
17:17The next day we woke up and it was snowing
17:19Now shtad really looks like a movie set
17:20We really felt like kids again
17:22We got to make snowballs and
17:24It's the smallest snowman I've ever seen
17:25We had to get our morning coffee and watch the snow come down
17:28Can I have a cappuccino please?
17:29They cost about seven dollars each
17:30Which is actually not that bad compared to the gold cappuccino I had in Dubai and cost almost 50
17:35So we spent almost 700 dollars in two days
17:37Which is way more than the average American who spends about 200
17:39And if you add how much we spent on the hotel it just gets out of control
17:43So it's fair to say the world's richest town definitely is not affordable
17:46But that's why there were a few things I really missed
17:48The dollar store
17:49There were none of these in Gustav
17:50I really missed this
17:52This is a dollar
17:53One dollar
17:54We can do a whole shopping haul here for the price of our coffees back there
17:57Oh and how much this is
18:00This is five dollars
18:04Tony's gonna like this
18:07Hey buddy
18:08What do you got?
18:11These toys aren't very expensive but I don't think Tony cares at all
18:15I'll definitely miss all the amazing friends we made over there
18:17But I am way happiest right here at home
18:21Oh you actually ate the fake steak
18:30I hope you guys enjoyed visiting the world's richest town with us
