The basic difference is that being bone idle and useless is frowned upon in the west and the wealthy in the west make up usually bs stories about how much of a 'work ethic' or how hard they had to work 'to get the success they now enjoy'.

In China being lazy and useless is less frowned upon as this was how the Emperor behaved and how all the govt douches behave so is much more looked up to. Being wealthy and incredibly lazy and ordering others round like a spiteful bully seems to be the state of Nirvana in the Han Chinese mindset.

So this is basically how most wealthy Chinese women behave. They do nothing and are useless other than ordering other people around and behaving as though they deserve everything their corrupt hubby provided them.

From what I gather, the affluent women segregate into 2 types.

1) the affluent woman who has knowledge of life outside the middle kingdom and who is familiar with the hobbies and interests that people pursue in the mystic foreign-land. These women might take their kids to various extracurricular events, have lunch in western cafes, take dancing classes (with not much result) or boss around their many Ayis.

2) The second type is the typical Chinese SaJiao affluent women. They sit at home crying and bitching to their husbands about how their neighbor drives a NEW porche 4x4 whilst they are still stuck with the 2010 model. Their husbands are typical TuHao morons who have black teeth from smoking too many double happinies cigarettes and they amost certainly spend most of the time shagging their mistress who they rent an appartment for in the city centre.

Rich people in China became rich so quickly that their lifestyle is usually not much different from that of the common folks.

Beside the obvious fact that they have more money, don't need to work full time, go to more expensive restaurants/salons/bars/clubs/shops because they have more money, and that they drive more expensive cars, they are not any different from your average .

I don't mean that as a bad thing, I think it's actually a great thing.

Not being affluent or a Chinese woman I can only tell you what I've noticed (from when I worked freelance & had more time on my hands.

Yoga

Drinking tea/coffee with friends

Shopping

Beauty salons

More than likely similar things as affluent foreign women bit with Chinese characteristics
