Thompson lives in a farmhouse on 3.5 acres in Stony Point, New York, about 40 miles north of New York City. He wakes up at 5:30 a.m. so he has time to check on his vegetable garden before work.

After checking on the garden, Thompson feeds his koi fish.
His next stop is to feed his chickens in the chicken coop, who are all named after "Real Housewives" from the Bravo TV series.

Thompson is not a breakfast person, so after getting ready in his newly renovated master bathroom, it's time for his commute to the office.
He gets to the office at about 8:00 a.m, where he finishes his coffee and eats his Starbucks breakfast.

Then it's time to dive into emails at his standing desk.
Thompson's first meeting of the day is with Stacy Levy, the senior director of global events for Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliates LLC, during which they discuss event planning and budgeting for 2020 and 2021.
