It’s because they treat their leisure time differently than the average person, reported Dawn Teh for Forge, a Medium publication.

Both millionaires and the average person allocate the same amount of their time for leisure (around 46% of their time), she wrote, citing a new study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science.

Meanwhile, the general population devotes more leisure time (30.2%) to passive activities like napping/resting, relaxing, and watching TV than millionaires do (24.3%).

“We learn that when financial constraints are removed, the things people gravitate toward are active leisure activities and job autonomy,” wrote Teh.

What’s more, the average American allocates more of their time to perusing social media or playing video games, which millionaires tend to spend less time doing: Millionaires spend an average of 2 1/2 hours a week on social media, compared with the average American’s 14 hours.
