Ma Vie Chez Les Milliardaires Russes [French]

By Marie Freyssac

MY LIFE WITH RUSSIAN MILLIONAIRES

Wealth in Moscow is unlike anything else on earth. And the children Marie Freyssard teaches are also unlike anything we can imagine. She is responsible for teaching the French language and French manners and etiquette to the children in nouveaux-riches Russian family, and here she describes her unusual day to day life in a series of incisive tableaux.
Of course the family travels using a private jet. Of course they spend weekends in Monaco. A simple birthday tea for the eldest child's ninth birthday feels more like a celebrity wedding with a Michelin-starred chef, endless entertainers and fireworks. A golf lesson while out at sea? Yes, that's perfectly possible on the family yacht. The captain will have to take responsibility for fishing out lost balls...
These are just a few examples of a life beyond imagining, but to summarize this life literally and figuratively, Liza and Aliocha guzzle on caviar for breakfast. And the contrast with Moscow life going on around them is striking.

Marie Freyssac opens the doors to the little known, inaccessible and fascinating world of millionaires who are proud of their success and eager to show off their fistfuls of banknotes. They pay top price for everything and, having been raised on communism, their urge to spend is never satisfied.

Marie Freyssac is 29 and has a degree in political science. She works as a French teacher in Russia but does not envisage staying as a private tutor in Moscow all her life.
