People Share Their Most Eye-Rolling Stories About Spoiled Rich Kids

I think we’ve all had bratty, entitled moments, no matter how much money we grew up with or how successful we became when we grew up. Maybe there was a time where you threw a tantrum when your parents only let you buy one video game for your PlayStation instead of two, or maybe you bragged on social media about landing a high-paying corporate job while demeaning folks “flipping burgers” at fast-food chains.

Regardless, entitledness can come from anyone of any age, generation, background, or even socioeconomic class. It can also come in various forms and intensities. Sometimes, so-called entitled mindsets and behaviors are not considered entitled in the eyes of others. Meanwhile, there are other cases where it’s clear that entitledness is present.

But nevertheless, we often assume that those who grew up wealthy are automatically spoiled, self-centered, and unappreciative. Heck, we’ve seen rich brats in movies. As for those of us with children in our lives, we may have witnessed exactly what being spoiled can do to a child-and boy, it is not pretty.

While there are surely financially-privileged folks out there who are grateful for what they have and don’t ask for a lot, it’s still clear that others have completely let money go to their heads to the point where they not only want anything and everything but can’t seem to understand what “normal” life is like for the average person.

In the following stories, you’ll quickly learn that some folks have lost the sense of what it means to be thankful, respectful, and empathetic towards others, all because growing up with money or nice possessions has warped their mind. Most of these stories make the saying, “Money is the root of all evil,” more relevant than ever before.

31. He threw away each dish after he finished eating

“I met a kid who didn’t understand the concept of washing dishes.

Wife went back to college. New city, didn’t know anyone. Started a Movie Night thing to meet some people and build a social circle.

We provided a home cooked meal, fun movies that most people hadn’t seen, and a place to gather-went over great and had 6-12 people showing up each week to hang out and talk and eat our food. Generally good people, because she was going back to college-a lot of college kids came. All good.

I knew this one guy was from a rich family, his first night there he’s bragging to everyone who’ll listen about this 30k+ truck his parents just bought him and telling everybody how awesome he is.

After everything is done, we’re collecting dishes in the kitchen, and he walks over and following me to the kitchen he walks in and puts his dish and silverware in the trash can.

‘Hey man, what are you doing?’ I’m assuming he brain blanked for a second, no big deal.

‘What?’

‘Give me the dishes, don’t throw em out.’ It’s a ceramic plate, not a paper one…’

‘Why?’ He asks, obviously confused.

‘… I’m going to wash it.’

‘Why?’ He repeats.

…Now I’m confused. ‘So, it’ll be clean for next time?’

‘Oh! Like the dining hall. Oh. OK. Sure.’

I find out later he basically lives off take out, restaurants, etc.-he’s never cooked anything in his life, his family has servants who clean up after meals and…he just assumed dishes were something you threw out when you were done. College was the first place where he even saw the idea of putting dishes somewhere other than the trash (or leaving them on the table) afterward.

He wasn’t a bad guy honestly, just…I was amazed something so incredibly basic had slipped by him for years.” Allisade

30. Their kids lost their laptops in their messy rooms, so they bought them all new ones…

“Friend asked me to help him do some in-home tech support for one of his clients. This client has 24-hour on-premise security. You don’t wander around in as much, are escorted from place to place.

I forget the exact task that he needed me to do but know it required me to go to each family member’s laptop and do some stuff (upgrade, install new software, etc.).

The parents’ laptops were left in the kitchen. They were first to be taken care of. The kids’ devices were in their rooms and I get escorted up to that wing to work on them.

Each room is a complete mess; clothes everywhere, toys, etc. I find this quite refreshing as even with live-in housekeeping the kids are responsible for their own areas and it ends up looking like pretty much every other young adult’s room.
Anyway, the first laptop is a brand-new fully loaded MacBook Pro (or whatever the top of the line Apple was at the time) and needs to be configured for their home network.

No biggie. Got the info I needed and set it up.

Me and my shadow proceed to the second room, which is in a similar condition to the first. Again, I find a brand-new laptop, same model as the first. After I am done with it, we are just about to walk out of the room and I catch a glimpse of two other laptops on the floor with junk piled on top of them.

I inquire if I should also take care of them. My inquiry goes from me to security to the client and then back through the guard to me:

‘Oh, you found them? We thought they were lost so we got new ones for the kids.'” Deleted Reddit user

29. He gave me his $1,000 suit because mine looked “cheap”…

“I had a friend on the swim team.

Dude was nice enough but obnoxiously pampered. His parents were from old oil money and stacked for life.

For his 16th birthday, he got a Lamborghini and a Mercedes Benz.

When his parents wanted to punish him, they would take away the Lamborghini and make him drive only the Mercedes. For dances, he would wear a $5,000 custom tailored silk suit and he had a different one for each dance.
One day when we were going to homecoming, he took a look at my suit, called it cheap and offered to give me one of his old suits. I thought he was joking but lo and behold 5 minutes later one of his butlers came up to me and gave me a $1,000 Calvin Klein suit.

When I tried to give it back to him the next day, he just laughed and told me to keep it. He swam with us for about a year before he moved away. Last I heard he’s living in Germany.” AvocadoSamuraiNinja

28. She took a professional photographer to a musical festival

“I went to a music festival in Southeast Asia after getting VIP tickets. One of the other festival-goers was a 20 something-year-old Asian girl who looked like she was straight out of the movie Crazy Rich Asians. This chick had a photographer following her around snapping pics of her posing in front of the stage with various acts, getting in the way of other people trying to dance.

She asked security if she could get them to clear a section for her to get an unobstructed view of the stage for better photos.

She bought six bottles for ‘her’ table and, again, had the photographer take an incredible number of photos of her posing with her expensive bottles.
She was incredibly rude to the waitstaff, snapping her fingers and generally talking to them like they were lower class citizens.

She asked my mate and I (both Westerners) to hang with her and her mates at her table, and again, have the photographer take photos of her posing with us at the table.

The other two guys from the group, both Asian, approached us when they saw that we were at a table and it looked like we had made some friends. When they approached us, the girl and her friends got quiet, spoke amongst themselves in Indonesian, and basically shooed them away.

We left them after they did that and walked over to our friends. One of the guys is Indonesian and he told us that she basically told them to get lost and know your place.” PanzerBiscuit

27. He threw away his underwear every single day

“When I was in college, my middle-class-roots fiance lived in a fraternity house with some relatively wealthy people.

One particular person sticks out for me as the high bar for spoiled behavior.

He had a penchant for wearing Calvin Klein Boxer Briefs. They were roughly $25 each, (and this was before you could buy them at Costco.)

He sent out his laundry to be washed and folded (and dry cleaned), and never did any of it himself, but he absolutely *refused* to have anyone touch his underwear. In fact, because of this, he *refused* to wear the same pair more than once.

So, every single day, he would open a brand new, $25 pair of underwear.

And, every single day, he would throw out yesterday’s underwear.

If someone happened to touch his underwear for any reason, there would be another change.

He was ordering them by the case.

No one else has ever even come close to this on my spoiled-o-meter.

How do I know this?

His fraternity brothers, always happy to scrounge through the garbage, noticed that perfectly good underwear was going to waste. So they all stocked up. And then when they all (and I mean all) had more than enough underwear to go around, and there was still an endless supply, they started an underground underwear selling ring.” Heather Wilde

26. He couldn’t take a tackle in football but his dad bought his way into the team

“I played football in the local kids’ league.

One kid from another team was basically untouchable as his dad was a major sponsor of the league and would donate money for uniforms, drinks, etc.

His son was a pretty good receiver but didn’t like getting hit, and his parents made a big deal of leaving their son alone so he can develop his skills.

He was insufferable. Anytime he scored a touchdown, he would do over the top celebrations and mock all the other players, his teammates included.
Then came high school.

Most of the kids from the league ended up in one of two schools. He went to mine (and some other players).

During tryouts, he did well. The coaches were mostly focused on skills and minimal contact during the first few rounds of cuts.

The final round was when things got interesting. Full contact was permitted, and he got rocked over and over again. No one was actually trying to tackle any harder than normal, it’s just this dude didn’t know what to do when he got tackled.

So, he screamed and cried a lot.

He didn’t make the team.
Until his dad came down to the school and offered to donate money for uniforms and some other goodies for our sports teams.

So, he made the team and again we were told to take it easy on him a bit.

So, we did. But the other teams didn’t. And he went up against some of the players he mocked previously, and they remembered.

Our quarterback kept passing to him and he was getting repeatedly smashed over and over again.

It was the only time our team cheered for the other team.

He quit playing football after that.” MeanElevator

25. He choked me and got away with it because he was rich 

“This dude relentlessly bullied me in school and was also the son of one of the richest people in the city. One day a teacher caught him with his hands around my throat and I was pinned against a wall.

We were both taken to the teachers meeting room where it was explained to me that we should try and get along and that we should apologize to each other.

Did I mention his dad also built the flashy new cafeteria for the school that year?

He was caught on numerous occasions with me in some state of distress and every time they found ways to make it both of our problems. His dad pumped a lot of money into that school.

He also flew his friends on his private airline to Manchester United games so nobody stood up for me because they could lose their privileges.

My saving grace was a lot of his mates in the early years of secondary school turned on him in the later years because he was such a jerk.

I’m clearly not entirely over it.” PsychicClown88

24. They wouldn’t let us take an emergency call because the kid wanted to play inside the ambulance…

“I once had a mom ask if I could open up the back of our ambulance so her kid could see what was inside since he ‘wanted to be a firefighter.’ (I’m a medic, not a firefighter.) I agree as long as he doesn’t touch anything. Of course, the second the doors open the kid hops in and goes straight for our expensive monitor.

I tell him no, that it’s dangerous and could break, to which he starts screaming, ‘I don’t care, my mom will buy it,’ and the mom says, ‘It’s fine, just let him play with it, if it breaks, I’ll replace it.’

I had to physically pick him up and carry him out of the ambulance since she didn’t even try to control him. While this is happening, we get paged out for a call, and this ***** suggests that she could pay double our hourly wage if we stay for a few more minutes, so her little **** could explore/destroy more of our equipment! **** outta here with that **** lady, you’re willing to delay an ambulance, so you won’t have to deal with precious little Joey’s tantrum? Unbef*ckinglievable.” Bedheadredhead30

23. The spoiled girl stole my phone after I refused to give it to her

“I knew a girl in school who was super spoiled.

Her family wasn’t super rich or anything, but she got whatever she wanted. She wanted a car so her dad started walking to work so she could have his. She wanted to buy a whole new wardrobe to ‘redesign’ herself, and her parents spent weeks working overtime so she could get it. And she refused to go to goodwill or anything like that. All her clothes came from Hollister or Abercrombie. She even took videos and posted them on Snapchat and Facebook of herself bossing around her mom at home and her mom just doing whatever she demanded. It made me sick to my stomach watching one that she decided to show me at school one day because I couldn’t imagine treating my own mother like that.

She could not take no for an answer. I remember when I got my first phone for emergencies when I was in 6th grade. It was the new scoop phone, and it was a pretty blue. It was the phone that every kid in my class wanted. She saw I had it and made a comment that she wanted it too. I laughed it off thinking she meant she wanted one like it. She then demanded I give her my phone. I said no and she kept hounding me and I kept telling her no. She stopped when we had to go back to class, and I thought that was the end of it.

After school, I went home and looked in my bag to text my sister and it wasn’t there. I looked all over for it and figured I left it at school. The next day, I got special permission from my teacher to call it from the classroom phone, and guess whose bag started vibrating when I called it? She tried to play it off like it was a coincidence that her phone went off at the same time I called, but I called again, and it vibrated again.
I was livid and she got in some trouble for stealing. She had deleted all the photos I had on my phone and contacts.

I had to go around and ask people for their phone numbers again which was a pain in the butt. She also had the nerve to make it seem like I was just a tattletale for busting her with my stolen property. Even into our senior year of high school, she would say stuff like, ‘Do you remember that time you told on me for borrowing your phone?’ It was infuriating.

The last day of our senior year, she gave me this whole long speech about us letting bygones be bygones and us being the best of friends since we were headed to the same college.

I flat out told her that I was willing to forgive her and leave all her actions in the past, but I couldn’t just forget about the kind of person she was, and I didn’t want to be her friend. She just said okay. When we got to the college she was trying to become part of my friend group and then started telling them embarrassing stories about me, like when I accidentally farted in class or I had a huge zit in between my eyes on picture day. It was honestly a sad and pathetic attempt to drive these people away from me.

It didn’t work, because we were all old enough to realize that embarrassing stuff happens to everyone and although it sucks, it’s not a big deal when you get past it. She started drifting away from all of us when it didn’t work, and I haven’t really seen or heard much of her since.” breentee

22. Her parents did all her homework and they weren’t home that week 

“I go to a hoity-toity military academy that houses a ton of rich kids (Boarding tuition is thirty-thousand dollars). Both my parents are teachers and I got in because of a scholarship, so I go for free.

Now, a lot of the kids there are totally cool if not a bit ignorant to the working class, but there are some ‘special’ students there. There is a girl who I had the unfortunate pleasure of working with in a group project. I spent a few hours the day before our first group meeting working on some research, and when we met in the library after class, she was the only person who didn’t have any work. Naturally, we asked her where her work was and her response was ‘My mom and dad are taking a week vacation, when they get back, they will be able to do it.’
I kind of laughed, because I didn’t think people like her existed.

I thought it was something that just happened on TV shows, but no. She was dead serious. We tried to convince her to get something done in case her parents couldn’t do it, and we finally broke her to do a little bit. We ended up getting a D because her mom doesn’t know how to format a graph on excel, so we didn’t have a whole entire graph, and she blamed me. She came to the conclusion that because I got here on a scholarship and had a disability that I was somehow dumb and the school pitied me or some nonsense.

I pointed out that her graph wasn’t there and she said, ‘My mom would know how to do it, it’s your fault.’ She was totally clueless. I can go on and on about her.” Micro-Mouse

21. He was so entitled, he called the poor “cry babies”… 

This story is the perfect example of entitled and ignorant…

“I grew up in Palo Alto. I could tell you a million ******* things. Not that all people from there are self-entitled *ssholes, but with all that money there is a concentration of them. I will say that you see it more in the adults than in their kids.

The teens there were pretty grounded for the most part.

But this one ******* guy. A rich kid who never lived without a washer and dryer, fixed water, plumbing. We are in a class discussing the struggles in many African areas, in which people struggle for water, in which they walk long distances to wash their clothes and all. He suddenly goes, ‘Cry babies.’ Then attempts to defend his point with the whole, ‘I could do that. Not that hard. They just cry about it like b**********************’ routine.

On the bright side, I got to watch that kid get face masked repeatedly in football practices by the starters who didn’t like him, so he was treated like the *** he was.” zwingo

20. His mom did his school chores for him

“We were cleaning up the classroom before class starts.

We followed duty rosters, so everyone gets their own job to do. That day, Josh was in-charge of sweeping so we reminded him that he should do his job. Threw a fit, cried and threatened to tell his mother about it.

We were like ‘Dude, it’s just once a week, the classroom isn’t even that big.’ but he threw a bigger fit and cried in the corner. The following week on his duty day, he brought his mother along into the classroom. We explained everything but the mother doesn’t seem to care if his son is on duty or not. She insisted that his son should not be doing chores and blabbered on how wimpy it is for boys to do chores.

Josh added some more oil to the fire and lied to his mother that we were bullying him.

The whole class got scolded. From then on, every time his duty day is up, someone else does it for him while he sits there watching us with a smug face. I also remember that one day his mother actually came in, swept the floor for him and left after scolding us for being so useless.

We were 9 years old that time.” Joeyyyyy0_0

19. She “got the wrong Lexus” and had multiple meltdowns as a result

“A girl I knew in college was the spoiled brat of divorced parents.

Her stepmother couldn’t have kids and married the girl’s father when the girl was a toddler, so Step Mom spoiled ‘her baby’ rotten.

There was the typical paying for her school expenses including college tuition and whatnot, but the summer before her junior year she decides she wants a car. Her dad says no. She throws a tantrum. Her stepmom buys her a Lexus.

This girl gets home from a spray tan (In July…? Yeah, she was freaking weird) and discovers the new Lexus in the driveway of the house she’s subletting for the summer is now hers. Except it’s not what she wants.

She throws a freaking monstrous tantrum on the front lawn because that’s not the car she wanted; she wanted a red car, in some other model. Her parents are trying to calm her down and she’s cried so many tears she’s ruined her spray tan.
Her dad and stepmom take the car back. She continues to **** about not having a car, how she needs a car, that she’s a ****** adult who needs to drive to do anything fun/s. Initially, we thought they took it away for her ungratefulness.

A week later her dad calls; he just happened to be driving around and saw a car for sale in the make and model she wanted… only it was white.

This **** has another meltdown, ruining her second spray tan she got to fix the first one (IN JULY???) Because she felt left out of the finding and purchasing of her car because they were doing everything without her.

Her step mom came up again (3-hour trip btw) and took her shopping for a car. It took the girl the entire weekend. Then after her stepmom left, she had the gall to complain that they clearly didn’t love her because they just didn’t know what she wanted right off the bat.

She was also 19 and dating a married doctor from the local hospital. I just blatantly avoided her after that summer.” mamblepamble

18. She tossed her garbage on the floor and refused to pick it up

“I used to work at an expensive-but-second-tier private university (think: Northeastern sports and party ‘safe school’) and the number of kids who walk around thinking that paying high tuition entitles them to expect to be cleaned up after by ‘the help’ is amazing.

Watched one girl wash her hands in the bathroom, wipe her hands and then, even though the basket was directly under the paper dispenser, walked away and tossed her wadded up paper on the floor. My coworker picked it up, went after her and handed it to her and politely said, ‘I’m sorry, I think you dropped something.’ She just looked at my coworker with this blank dead fish look.

And then students who can’t bother to follow academic and facility rules, always pulling out the same line: ‘I pay $XX, XXX in tuition, so you’d better do what I want…’

‘I pay $XX, XXX in tuition a year to…’ …get an education.

No more, no less. If you’re stupid enough to pay $50K a year and erroneously expect that it purchases a retinue of slaves to be at your beck and call, then that’s your problem.

But I don’t work there anymore.” onetruename

17. She has a $500,000 house but considers herself “homeless”

“I grew up with a rich girl who never had a realistic view of the world. Her wedding gift from her parents was a $500k house built to her specifications. The house took a year (maybe two) to build, and during that time she and her husband lived at her parents’ mansion. They had an entire floor to themselves.

It was about 2,000 square feet and it consisted of a kitchen, two bedrooms, a rec area, etc.

Did she realize how good she had it? Of course not. She spent the entire time lamenting on Facebook about how ‘hard’ it was to be ‘homeless.’

That was a few years ago. She still posts ‘as someone who used to be homeless…’ comments while sitting in her fancy, custom-built $500k house.

The only reason I haven’t unfollowed her yet is that she’s like a train wreck that’s impossible to look away from.” Deleted Reddit User

16. She drove her brand new car through the soccer field and got it stuck

Sure, from time to time, we get a little impatient when traffic is backed up.

Perhaps you’ve zoomed around a few slow cars or decided to take a faster route. But driving through a soccer field?! This girl is nuts!

“A girl I went to high school with got ‘downgraded’ to a new lipstick red Charger because she crashed her SUV into a parked car while going 40 in a neighborhood…while texting. One day after school, she tries to beat the normal traffic of kids trying to get out of the back parking lot and decides to cut around them BY DRIVING THROUGH THE GRASS NEAR THE SOCCER FIELD. No one would let her in and her car ended up getting stuck from the mud (had rained earlier).

So what did she do? She abandoned her car and found one of her friends to give her a ride home. It ended up getting towed and she got an in-school suspension for a quite a bit of time. Her parents had to pay for some stuff, but yet she still had the Charger.” SheZowRaisedByWolves

15. Her mom was stealing all her expensive clothes for her 

“I went to high school with a girl everyone envied because she ALWAYS had the latest style, the brightest colors and newest ‘it’ items.

One day out of the blue, she asked me if I wanted to come over after school — we weren’t even friends, but I was nicer to her then most.

I said sure…and her mother was going to pick us up. About 20 minutes of waiting, I said why don’t we just walk — your house is only about 5 blocks away.

She said only the poor walk…and I said guess I’m poor cause I walk everywhere. She finally got tired of standing in the heat and we started walking-two blocks down, here comes her mom barreling down the sidewalk and apologizing like crazy that ‘my baby had to walk.’ I just rolled my eyes (in my head silently).
The mom explained that her car was repo’d just as she was going out to get in it, and there must be some mistake because they have ‘fat’ bank accounts looking at me and wait ’till your daddy gets home, we’ll OWN THAT company!

We finally reach her house and it’s very small, non-descriptive and has all the blinds lowered.

We enter and to my surprise, the house is empty!! No furniture, no tv, NOTHING!

We go to the girl’s room, and she has a mattress on the floor with just a sheet and dirty old panda pillow. No curtains nothing. Her clothes are laying on the floor in piles like she’s using the floor as a dresser drawer.

We go into the kitchen to get a soda and the kitchen is bare with just paper plates, bowls, and cereal boxes. In the fridge is nothing but sodas.
I’m in shock and tell her I better be getting home, and she walks me out the door and says don’t pay my house any mind, we have money we just choose to spend it on clothes instead of things, less cleaning that way anyway.

I just nod my head like yeah sure, say my goodbyes and hurry home. I can’t wait to get on the phone and tell all my friends what I just saw! She’ll be the laughing stock of the school, her and her pretentious ways.

I hurried home.

Halfway home I actually got to feeling sad that she felt she had to lie to be accepted, and in reality, she had nothing but clothes, so I decided I wasn’t going to say anything bad, poor girl.

And I never did. A few years later I saw in the paper where her mother had been arrested for shoplifting at a clothing store, and it all made sense why she had tons of nice clothes but no furniture etc…

How tragic a life.” Deleted Reddit User

14. She didn’t know how to lose

“I’ve known a lot of spoiled people, but this girl I knew in second grade takes the cake.

I went over to her house one day. I already knew how spoiled she was from school, and I didn’t particularly like her, but her mom had called my mom and so we were stuck with each other. The mom’s boyfriend wanted the two of them to go upstairs for some reason, so they sent us down to the basement toy room on our own.

The basement was packed with toys. Every wall had one of those giant storage nets covering it from floor to ceiling, and each one was filled to capacity with toys. We’re talking stuffed animals, figurines, dolls, playsets, the whole nine yards.

Keep in mind, this was every wall of a rather large finished basement and this girl was an only child.
So my host grabs a couple of games from the closet and we start to play. But every time we’d get close to the end she’d say she was bored and start putting the game away. And it was obvious she was just trying not to lose, and I was pretty pissed about not getting to at least finish a single game. But she had always been the type to whine and cry when she didn’t get her way, so I chalked it up to her being a rich kid and didn’t think much of it.

Then we played the claw game.

It had candies in the bottom. You used the claw, which has a scoop in the bottom, to grab your prize and drop it in the slot. She insisted on going first and insisted she was really, really good. She wasn’t. And she whined and stamped her feet and called it too hard and broken and impossible. And then I gave it a go, and after one or two tries I had a piece of chocolate wrapped in colorful aluminum foil.

‘You have to give me that,’ she said, pointing to my candy.
I refused. I was a precocious brat and wanted to keep what I had won; I grew up in a gaming family, so I was more than a little competitive and not one for sharing.

I told her she’d probably win her own chocolate next time.

‘But I always win,’ she said. And she didn’t cry, or whine, or stamp her foot and scream like she did at school. She just stared at me with the coldest, bitterest eyes I’d ever seen and started to lean across the claw machine towards me.

I gave her the candy.

So yeah, I think once I almost got murdered over a piece of cheap chocolate. I’ve met a lot of spoiled people, but that girl that still freaks me out.” TeaYouInHell

13. They trashed their room and destroyed a restaurant…

“I previously ran a company providing high-level Close Protection and Surveillance.

The nature of the industry is that most of the work is contract by contract, so your operatives are usually self-employed freelancers. Middle Eastern plus some Asian and African nations (particularly those that were of the Muslim faith) prefer female operatives to look after their wives(s), female children and boys up to age 12, and this about the experiences of our regular female operatives, I’ll call her Kate, who had done some work on a separate contract looking after the daughters of a well-known Middle Eastern/African/Asian. (I won’t be more specific for obvious reasons) dictator whilst they were on a private visit to the UK.

Basically, the girls were feral. Their father had little involvement in their lives, and everyone else was terrified of the consequences of challenging them.

On a trip to the north of England city, they were staying in an exclusive hotel. As regularly occurred with these sort of visits, a whole floor was taken for their stay. Here they proceeded to trash the room, use towels as toilet paper, drop food on the floor, threw things at the staff, leave ‘soiled’ clothes around etc.
On the second day, they were booked it into an extremely exclusive restaurant where a separate private dining room had been booked for them and their entourage.

They started a food fight, smashed plates, went out of their own dining room and insulted the other diners and went into the toilet and made a terrible mess.

Then it was a shopping trip. They went into a shop, took things off the rails by the armfuls and were walking out. When Kate pointed out the items would have to be paid for, they told her that they didn’t have to pay for anything, the shop should be glad of the business. When this was refused, the ripped some of the clothes and ran out of the shop. All Kate could do was give the name of the relevant embassy to the poor shop owner.

(These were was small boutiques) and run after her charges.

Kate had had enough, got the girls back safely to their rooms (housed them), informed the entourage, her agency and the hotel security she was leaving and walked out. First and last time she had ever done this, and she had vast previous experience with the challenges of dealing with the offspring of the uber-wealthy.” Lynne James

12. He got me new pajamas on demand

“I had a friend that I always kind of looked at like he was tragic in a sense. His mother had killed herself when he was young, and he had found her.

His father was very cold and often busy but was friends with my father, so we were 2 only children that were often stuck with each other. Except he was popular, and I was not. He was 4 years older than me too, but he was always so ridiculously kind to me. If he had friends over (which he often did), he’d include me in everything and make them be nice to me.

They were very wealthy. I feel like wealthy isn’t even a word that can express how much money they had. The father had a mansion in a very exclusive guard gated community, and he bought another mansion across the street for his son to live in when he was like 15.

They had a ridiculous car collection that he had full access to. He had a Duesenberg for Christ sake. Just chilling in the garage that was the nicest garage you’ve ever been in your life. His home was decorated by an interior decorator and he had everything. He had a black American Express card. Well, everything but parents really. If I am to be honest, our dads were not the nicest people. They wanted us to always stay out of their hair, and they were partying womanizers sometimes.
I remember sitting in my friend’s room one evening and the adults were being very loud.

I went out on the balcony and looked down to the pool and there were a dozen nude women acting like idiots. My friend came out and scooped me up and took me inside and colored with me.

I am telling you all these details so you can get a feel for him. I’d grown up with him in a way. When I moved to Palo Alto, we never saw each other over the next few years. He had always been my only friend really, but then in Palo Alto, I made all these friends and he was like a junior and senior, so we didn’t keep in touch much.

We would write emails sometimes or chat if we both were online. This was back in the days of AOL. Lol.

He invited me to his graduation party and insisted I come. I flew into town and was met by him, and he nearly walked right past me. I guess he had assumed I stayed 12 years old.

‘Do you have any bags?’

‘Nope, just my carry on.’
He thought that was hilarious and we headed to the car. There was a bag person that asked if he’d need any assistance further. I hadn’t realized he’d been like escorting us in a way. Got us on the elevator, had the cross guard close the gate so we don’t have to wait to cross for the taxis, called ahead to the valet to let them know to get the car ready to go so we didn’t have to wait for it either.

My friend rolled his eyes and said, ‘I think we got it’ and handed the guy money. He was rude, but I figure the guy had done all that on his own and then wanted to tip and knew my friend was rich so kinda was messed up too. He had a cell phone which was super fancy, and it had internet on it. I was like wow. Lol.

He was like, ‘You want one too?’ And I was like, ‘No way, I just like yours.’ And he wanted to know what kind of phone I had… I didn’t. So, we stopped and he bought me his same phone for like $1500 when all was said and done and didn’t even bat an eye.

Put me on his plan too. I asked how many people he had on his plan and he said 22 people!!!!! I was like what?????

He said he hates not being able to get ahold of people. Now this was back when phones were expensive, and they charge by the minute. (On a side note, he really would get pissed if you didn’t answer right away.) God save you if you missed his call. At the store he was very short with the people and went as far as asking one of the employees why another female employee was speaking to him.

Then in front of everyone, he turns to me and says ‘I hate it when the help tries to be your friend. Do your job and shut the *** up.’ AWKWARD SILENCE. I was mortified and said sorry to the girl, and he was shocked.
‘Why are you apologizing to this girl, she isn’t anyone, she doesn’t care, right?’

The girl agreed. He laughed and gave me a hug and said I was always the sweetest girl. He didn’t seem to see anything wrong with how he treated people.

Fast forward to his house, and it was amazing. There were caterers, bartenders, DJs, fire breather people, sand he had shipped in (it was a luau theme) tiny pineapples with pina colodas in them, a big ice sculpture that was for shots and was his graduating year, real flower leis being handed out by real Hawaiian people, tattoo artists in case you wanted to get a tattoo, a piercer if you wanted a piercing with all professional equipment from a famous shop, a gigantic fish tank that had been built just for this party.

I mean, it was crazy. I was amazed at how it all ran so smoothly, and he just had fun. It’s like some of the staff were mind readers, but I figured that’s their job.

As the night went on, I got sleepy and retired to my room where there were Hello Kitty jammies on the bed that were kinda small but very thoughtful and a HUGE hello kitty stuffed animal. When I was a little girl, I’d liked hello kitty. I put on the pajamas, and I picked up my toy and went to go say thank you. I wasn’t the most self-aware then.

I was like 15 and probably should of worn a bra with the jammies and should have looked to see if my *ss was covered, but I wanted to show him I was wearing it and say thanks. I was so innocent and stupid.
When he saw me, he grabbed a towel and rushed over and wrapped it around me. ‘You can totally see your underwear’ I was like, ‘Oh my bad, it’s a bit small.’

Now it was like 2:30am. He calls someone over and tells them I need bigger pajamas right now. They looked me up and down and left. He walked me back to my room and I went in and laid down and went to sleep.

I awoke to new pajamas on the sofa, as well as a few other things. The bags were from Nieman Marcus. It was like 8am. Did that person work there, how did they buy stuff when they’re not open?

I put my swimsuit on and went out to the pool. There was an army of cleaning people and landscapers getting rid of the sand and at least 10 people doing different things to bring the house back to normal. I was surprised no other people were there that I could see though. I later found out he’d have people brought home. They owned casinos, taxis and limo companies so transportation wasn’t an issue.

I could go on…. But I think you get the gist. Lol” Kate Hoyt

11. She demanded to be dropped off at her grandmother’s private island…

“I live in a town that sits on the shore of a really big (not great, but still big) lake. My friends and I decided a few years ago to buy a boat we could take out onto the open water. None of us are ‘poor.’ but none of us have a sh*tload of extra money on the side so we did it as cheap as we could. We bought a decent boat that was over 30 years old and spent two years rebuilding the engine, refinishing some of the interior, and generally getting the thing ship shape.

We were super proud of the fact that we managed to get a fully functional and reliable boat together for a little under 5 grand.

Here is where the story starts: We were out on the boat on a beautiful Saturday drinking beers and cruising the beaches for girls that might want a ride on our new boat (<-this is why any straight man owns a boat). We pulled up to a beach and anchored and eventually a few girls waded out to us to see if they could have a couple of beers. One thing led to another, and they were climbing aboard to head out for a spin.

This is when I notice one of the girls was not really excited to be on the boat. We got to the middle of the lake and started swimming off the boat, having a good time, except for that one girl. My friend asked her what was wrong. She replied, ‘I don’t even feel safe on this piece of sh*t!,’ that’s my grandmother’s island over there, drop me off NOW!’ We were hurt that we had put so much effort into the boat and she dismissed it as a piece of garbage but whatever it is kind of a beater. We dropped her off on the island… the dock had over 5 million dollars in boats parked at it.

The girl sucked, but grandma was awesome; she brought us all ashore for beers and food and berated her granddaughter for being such a snob. Little old lady (80+) lives out there alone all summer. We go back to the island all the time to help granny with the yard work and such (in exchange for hanging out on a private island) but I haven’t talked to the granddaughter since.” Optimized_Orangutan

10. His mom cut him off but he didn’t want to live “poor” like us

“A guy I met in my early 20’s was the richest person I’ve ever known. His dad was CFO for a big bank, but died when my friend was 14.

He grew up in a massive mansion, had his rent paid for in a luxury rental building, and had unlimited funds for *****.

Eventually, his mom forced him to go to rehab, which he did for a couple of months. One day, while he was at rehab, my roommate got a call from him. He said he’s outside and didn’t know where else to go. He had been cut off from his money, knew that we had an extra room, and asked if he could stay with us while he learned basic life skills (getting a job, buying groceries, cleaning, budgeting, etc…).

We let him, against our better judgment.
About a month in, he had managed to stay sober, keep a job, and not be such a parasitic piece of ***. His mom thought he was doing better too, so she reconnected him to his money. His whole attitude and demeanor completely changed. All of a sudden it’s ‘I don’t have to stay in this ***y apartment, living like I’m poor. I don’t even have to stop doing *****. I’ve got my money back!’

He left right before rent was due and basically told us to *** ourselves.

Two months later, he had the exact same situation happen.

His mom cut him off again, forcing him to go to rehab. He left again and called us, but this time we figured he’d rather not live in our ***y apartment living like he’s poor.” BTCAlex

9. They paid to get their grades changed and get into university 

“Look up Corona del Mar high school cheating scandal, happened at my school. Parents payed around 50k a piece to have a tutor bug the school computers and change students’ grades. They all lawyered up big time when it came out and all the kids got off free and all made it into their top three schools.

Edit: I would also like to add that this made the news, and all the parents whined that their children were innocent and ‘just had a bad tutor.’

Had a girl I went to school with total four brand new cars (think Range Rover, Escalade, etc.). I was also in a class with this girl when the teacher handed out papers that needed to be signed by a parent, and she signed it herself and tried to turn it in the same period as it was handed out and freaked out when the teacher wouldn’t accept it.

Kids who would talk *** and pick fights and then turn around and say, ‘If you touch me my dad will sue.’

There are a lot more…” pipsdips

8. She didn’t want to touch my “poor people money”

“Hung out with a kid with pretty wealthy parents and when we went shopping I offered to pay (I didn’t realize her parents gave more than like a 20$ for allowance because I assumed that’s what all parents did) she said, ‘No, it’s fine.

I can pay for both of ours,’ proceeded to pull out a 100$ from her purse. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but we were in like 5th grade, and that was her weekly allowance). Our *** was like maybe 30-40 dollars at most. She then looked up to the cashier and said, ‘Sorry I don’t have anything smaller than a 100, will this do?’ She handed it to him, and we finished the transaction, we walked out, and I asked her if I could give her my payment of the clothes since she bought them, this B said ‘Nah, it’s ok. I don’t like touching poor people money.’ I ****** noped outta that ‘friendship’ so fast.” hotcheetoconnoisseur

7. The mall just wasn’t high-end enough for him 

” I was shopping at a Hugo Boss store in California for a new belt in 2012 with my girlfriend at the time when all of a sudden a ~17-year-old walks in with a private butler.

The kid announces to the store attendees and everyone present in the store that the entire mall is not ‘high end’ enough for him and that he would rather be at his father’s penthouse in Las Vegas. The Butler (wearing formal butler attire, with a bowtie and everything) looks visibly embarrassed to have to follow this kid around and hold his shopping bags!

The kid then starts buying many suits and other clothes without trying them on, and the store attendant decides to bring out some champagne for him. I’m pretty sure he spent $10,000 in 5 minutes.
I was curious how they brought him out champagne but didn’t ID him, considering he didn’t look 21.

I asked the store attendant if I could have some champagne too, but the kid interjected to say that clearly, I wasn’t spending enough money to deserve champagne. I jested that I left my visa black card at home and wanted to shop in other stores too for varieties sake. He said I clearly don’t know fashion…

The kid then turns to my girlfriend and says ‘**** girl, those boots are fierce, where did you buy those?’ She replied, ‘I got them at Ross….’ (FYI Ross is a budget store for those who don’t know – those were $10 boots). This brat then exclaims ‘Ross! Don’t tell me about Ross, don’t even talk to me with those cheap shoes’ and proceeds to storm off…

This was my unusual encounter with the most spoiled person I have met in my life.

It felt like from a movie or reality TV show, but sadly it was not.

I never did get that glass of champagne either.” Bryan R. Goldsmith

6. He didn’t get the car in his preferred color

“I had a scholarship to a private school for my secondary education (11-18.) We were by no means poor but compared to the people who were paying full school fees I was a peasant. The vast majority of the students were wealthy, and about half of them were spoilt little brats.

Most of the kids got given cars for their 17th birthday in anticipation of passing their driving tests.

One boy in particular in my year had a September birthday, so was one of the first to take his test, and he had a huge house/garden, so he already knew how to drive. (You can drive on private land at any age here.)

On the day he passed his test, he got dropped off back at his school in his shiny new sports car (I don’t know what type it was, idgaf about cars, but everyone else seemed impressed.) He picked up a couple of friends to go for a spin, and before he got ~100m up the road, he completely wrecked the ****** car.

His dad bought him a new one the next day, and he complained that it was the wrong color.” tragicworldrecord

5. He sold ***** but he was still attending the most prestigious college around

“In my AP Lit class senior year of high school, there was a kid who literally had everything he could’ve ever wanted. At 18, he had three cars (all luxury) and went on exotic vacations, etc.

But he actively sold tons of *****, some of which were extremely addictive and harmful (Xanax, oxys, etc.) and I ripped him a new ***** about it, and his response was that he didn’t have an addictive personality and couldn’t sympathize with addicts even though his “brother OD’d and it really tore him up”.

He was then given early admission and a presidential scholarship to an extremely prestigious school and had it revoked due to a DUI/selling ***** to minors charge later on, so what happened? His parents bought his way into another prestigious institution, and he took a gap year where he traveled the world via luxury tourism.

Moral of the story? Don’t be a *** unless your parents can buy you out of your problems, I guess.” stocktipsinstockings

4. He threw a fit when the clerk said he can’t use someone else’s credit card

“I walked into the local US post office in a wealthy community north of Chicago and see a kid around 20, super preppy looking, leather loafers w/ no socks, and he is berating the clerk for not wrapping his shipment for him, making a huge scene about how they are paid to help him and that ‘his’ taxes pay their salaries.

Meanwhile, the queue is growing 10+ people deep. After the clerk finishes directing him how to properly seal the parcel, the clerk weighs the box, rings him up, and gives him his total. The kid runs a credit card. The clerk asks to see it. She asks if the card belongs to his mother and whether she is present. She isn’t. She explains to him that he cannot use someone else’s credit card without written authorization. He starts rage screaming and spittle comes out of his mouth. The clerk pushes his parcel aside and calls, ‘Next customer.’ The kid grabs his stuff and then starts knocking over all the displays of packaging and Express mail/Priority mail supplies.

I’m gonna guess he came back with his mommy and insisted on speaking with a manager.” ulfniu

3. She faked a tantrum to go to Belize

“I was dating a girl in high school. Her father was a very reputable lawyer in the area, I grew up in a trailer park for most of my childhood. We had been together for about two years at the time. Her best friend, also well off, was going to spend the summer at her godfather’s place, on a beach in Belize. The girl I was dating, we will call her Jane, was invited too. When Jane asked her parents if she could go to Belize they said something along the lines of ‘You can go, but you have to save up and pay for your flight.’ Jane threw a TANTRUM! I had never witnessed this side of her before.

I mean screaming at her parents, balling her eyes out, the whole nine yards. As soon as this tantrum started I excused myself to her room (within earshot). She went on for a good 5 minutes over dramatizing everything. When Jane felt she was done she came into her room. As soon as the door closed behind her Jane had a huge smile on her face and said ‘Just wait and see, they will buy my ticket.’ Of course, her parents bought her the plane ticket. Luckily I was afforded this eye opener and noped the *** out of that relationship with a quickness.” ImLiterallyYourGOD

2. His parents bribed the cop so their son wouldn’t get dinged with a DUI…

“I had a classmate who was the richest kid at school and used to constantly brag about how rich he is and how his dad gives him anything he wants because he can afford the world.

At his 18’s birthday, he got a brand new Range Rover and even though he didn’t have his driver license, yet he would drive that car everywhere.

I once asked him what he would do if he gets caught by cops and he said. ‘Oh, my dad will pay them/ I don’t have to worry about it.’

Turns out, a few weeks later he crashed that Range Rover driving drunk and completely destroyed the entrance of a local bakery. What did his dad do? Bought him another brand new Range Rover a few days later and paid the cops to not arrest him for driving under influence.

At least he also paid for the damage he caused to the bakery.” br00nu

1. We threw away all his expensive stuff and he didn’t even care

“Work at a student housing property at a large university. The particular property I work at has a large number of international students. Now often times these international students often come from very wealthy families. This one resident was 2+ months behind on his rent. Drove a brand new Maserati but couldn’t pay his rent, I digress. Well, we were about to start the eviction process and called him one more time to get him to pay his rent.

Now, in his townhouse, he had boxes and boxes of designer clothes and brand new electronics everywhere. We explained that if we evict him his personal property will be stored for 30 days and after that it will be disposed of. His reply, ‘I’m not worried about it.’ We inform him there’s a lot of items of value that will get thrown away if he doesn’t claim his stuff. He just replied, ‘Ok, I’ve moved elsewhere, and I’m not worried about my stuff.’ I was floored but I got a brand new tv because his spoiled *ss just bought brand new everything.” Kid_Named_Trey
After reading these outrageous stories, I think we could all gain some valuable lessons.

Besides being careful about overly spoiling our children and other people in our lives as to not blemish their good character, it’s clear that it’s vital that we ensure we don’t lose sight of reality ourselves if riches ever cross our path. Truthfully, it’s not about how much money one has that affects their personality but how they were taught or personally choose to view and use their wealth.
