The super-rich are swapping mansions for £2m motorhomes. Do they know one thing we don’t? | Emma Beddington

I don’t significantly get pleasure from analysing the habits of the ultra-rich. I’d be happier if I didn’t have to consider them in any respect – and I apologise for making you achieve this – however in my defence, that is fascinating: a characteristic within the Monetary Instances reveals some have began promoting up and dwelling in motorhomes.

Clearly, they’re ultra-luxurious motorhomes. The proprietor of a personal fairness agency interviewed has a 30-tonne behemoth with air con and high-speed web, a kitchen, eating room, two bogs, a “spacious master suite” and “a variety of contemporary hi-tech home equipment”. Which, sure, sounds plusher than my in-laws’ caravan, nevertheless it’s nonetheless an enormous shed on wheels. And also you’ll by no means guess how a lot they price: “round $2.7m” (£2m), apparently. Think about the bricks-and-mortar home you would get for that – that personal fairness chap offered each of his – and also you wouldn’t should empty a rest room tank. (Perhaps they outsource that someway, however nonetheless.)
