Most wealthy people are too busy experiencing things that actually bring happiness rather than accumulating **** for its own sake.

I think a large measure of this is having a maid... not in the obvious sense, though.
Why do you think they invest in garden gnomes?
I think that the wealthy who are included in AD have less crappy stuff. Their sense of style is why they are included in AD. Most wealthy have lots of crap accumulated over time. They have no better taste then less wealthy people.
She?
When A.D. comes to the home they heavily stage the house so in photographs it looks it's best.
Err, no. It's usually not their sense of style, but their interior designer's. And many will hire a designer who's well-known and well-connected precisely because he or she has a reasonable shot at getting the home into AD. Secondary benefits include getting access to rare or unique pieces.
In one case it was a near disaster for a gallery that loaned a painting to my client for a photoshoot. The owner who had consigned it to the gallery saw it in AD and called to ask why they had not been paid.
Rich people tend to live in smaller spaces with MUCH MORE stuff. I speak from experience assisting a New Orleans architect some years ago. Most of them are loners too, so living in a big house scares the **** out of them.
