Rich Habits Podcast · Robots, Rockets, and Air Taxis w/ BLADE CEO (Rob Wiesenthal) · 26 Jun 2026 podcast

But at the start, it was critical.

That's fascinating.

You know, it's interesting because it isn't all billionaires and celebrities.

It's actually quite a few of those.

No company flies more people by helicopter in the world than Blade outside the military or on a gas period for A to B travel.

So it's super big.

And we're now at the price where we often break Uber Black.

So you're you know, when you look at things like airport routes and such,

You could probably take, you know, someone who says, whether it's a splurge or they do it quite often, I'm taking an uber black.

So it isn't really as hyper rich as you may think.

But what we do find, which is really interesting, which most people don't want to talk about, is this is obviously bladed in, you know, kind of invented a model of jump, you know, get on a nap and in 15 minutes jump on a helicopter, have a great experience in a lounge and get somewhere.

Right.

And the early adopters of that, the ones that either have the creativity to say, hey, I want to remove this friction or I want to have this experience, they tend to be wealthier.

It's not unlike, you know, who were the first people buying some new technology, even though it was affordable.

So from my perspective, it's terrific, you know.

You have these kind of early adopters, and they're very opinionated, and they have a great social presence, and they talk about things they like, and it kind of filters down.

So it's a little bit of self-selection.

So I've always been very surprised having a product that is so affordable, yet it still does skew pretty wealthy.

We know there are a lot of people who can afford this who aren't using Blade.

And I think that's for two reasons.
