Do the wealthy make use of their connections?

Just a curious question. The wealthy always has a large network of people that they know. Do they make use of their connections and how?

For what it's worth, it's not just the wealthy who has the network of connections. Rich or not, anyone can build a right profile of themselves professionally and build a network based on merit. I don't think people necessarily think of connections as a means to get something directly, rather it is a case when you need some help or inspiration then you decide within your circle of peers or friends whom you can reach out for the 'best' advice).

That said, I would say common use of connections would be understanding a particular industry that you are less accustomed to, making in roads to a new job and getting some tips to succeed, and knowing acquaintances (usually friends of friends).

I wish to use CC (Amex) to make payment for insurance premium. Try using axs but Amex not accepted, what other options do i have?Premium Payment?

I have 30k in UOB acc including 5mth emergency fund. I want to hit 50k to max my interest. Does it make sense to use say 10k from it and use it in SSB / STI ETF and cash out instead? Mid 20s here.

If I feel that I can make 3-4% return on my investments through index funds (i.e STI ETF), should I pay my home loan using my cpf oa or using cash instead? ?

I was charged $0.60 for making a call to join a group in England after downloading Telegram app. This is despite the fact that I used my data to make the call. Is this the norm?

I'm currently using StashAway and Syfe as my Robos/passive investment (most aggressive portfolios) and exposure to ETFs. Does it still make sense to use DBS Invest-Saver?
