I help clients buy $400K gifts and handle $900K gambling losses. It's changed how I see wealth.

Olivia Ferney works with wealthy clients and travels about 300 days a year. The job changed how she thinks about money, access, and success.

Olivia Ferney, chief marketing officer at Top Tier Travel, shares the surprising impact her work with the ultrawealthy has had on her definition of success. Growing up in Canada, Olivia was accustomed to hearing 'no' regularly, even for simple matters like restaurant reservations. However, once she began working with the wealthy, she discovered that 'no' rarely applied to them.

Some of her clients had never been told 'no' in their entire lives, which felt enlightening to Olivia. Her clients have been kind and happy, and her journey with the ultra-wealthy began around three years ago when she met her fiancé, Troy. Today, Olivia shares some of her extravagant experiences with her clients on her social media, like purchasing a $400,000 gift or breaking the news about a client's son losing $900,000 on a bet.

She prioritizes her health in this demanding job and tries to maintain a balanced lifestyle despite the extensive travel and high-stress nature of her work. One of the most rewarding aspects of her career has been introducing her friends and family to her clients' world, which includes luxurious vacations and exclusive events. Olivia acknowledges that working with the ultra-rich has changed her perception of success, making her bar much higher and exposing her to new ways of building wealth.
