Crazy 'Rich Kid' Problems (r/AskReddit)

what is the craziest encounter of rich-kid syndrome that you have experienced I lived with five guys and I was the only one whose parents weren't millionaires not close at all they never cleaned about once a month I were deep cleaned the house but two days later there was garbage and food on the floor I found out they all told their parents the poor kid made all the messes when one of their moms came by to scream at me please finish your story tell me that you proved it was their fault a consulting manager I worked with was literally stifler even looked like him he was a Harvard grad dad was an exec at a huge consulting firm smart but incredibly ditzy and trying really hard to be normal he walked into work one morning and asked one of his trainees if he they got paid this week because he literally couldn't see the difference in his bank account at least he's trying not scathing like most of the ones on here I grew up attending a private school in a developing country so a lot of my classmates were in the 1% of the country whenever we'd be swimming in the school pool one friend of ours in particular would always remark that swimming is more fun if the pool has a current or waves to which I had no idea what he was talking about and generally thought he was just being imaginative one day he invited me over to his house for swimming and he had a 50-foot indoor pool that generated a current waves he wasn't lying they are a lot more fun my college run mates mom gave him frickin $1,400 for the weekend just randomly he blew through the whole thing by Saturday asked his mom for more money and was screaming at her because she promised $1,400 for the weekend and he spent most of what she gave him on Friday which isn't a part of the weekend Muir Trust Fund girl whose dad gave her the money to start a company she lost if when she went on vacation for six months and forgot she was supposed to pay her employees all the time she assumed they would not get paid for six months and be there when she got back I quizzed her on this for a few minutes and it was clear she had no idea what a jobless I hope they sued her for whatever missing pay they were owed before they quit good friend of mine my dad bought me a house and now I can't buy a house of my own stamp duties here are insane to prevent rich people from driving up property prices although I have to say that I really respect my friend very much for his desire to actually step out of his dad's shadow met a friend in econ 101 on my first day pretty humble kid and all-around good guy so we got along well and were in the same study group turns out kids dad owned like a supermarket chain in HK and his mom is a managing director at a hedge fund on mainland China and they work rata loaded he never let it show though and I only found out after about 3-4 months of knowing him his parents put him in boarding school when he was a kid but he said it was actually pretty tough since the school gave zero Fricks about privileged classes were like one teacher to every three kid and they were hardcore they eventually sent him overseas for high school in this really upscale place in North Carolina for four years he was one of the most well mannered kid I knew in college and super humble got straight A's throughout college and made me pay attention to since I was prone to slacking I ended up doing an internship in my junior year with his mom's fund and she wrote me a letter of recommendation later on to help me get a job we still keep in touch occasionally and he's working for a bank in HK now pretty much following his mom's footsteps still come by and white a visit every year and we usually have dinner with a sose it's really weird cause I see these kids at school driving Audi's BMWs in this kid is just there to study like everyone else even though his parents might be the most loaded people I've seen at the school look up Corona del Mar High School cheating scandal happened at my school parents paid around 50k apiece 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 oh man I went to see DM for junior high freakin miserable miserable place girl I went to high school with got a Mercedes for her 16th birthday bitched and moaned about the fact that she didn't get a Lexus because her name was Lexi and she thought it would be sOooo cool for Lexi to drive a Lexus with a custom license plate saying Lexi her parents did cave and buy her a Lexus for her 17th birthday my college room made through a massive tantrum like on the floor screaming and crying because her parents got her a used big butt truck for graduation it was a 2013 truck with less than 10k miles that was fully upgraded loaded with every possible add-on we graduated in 2014 the car was maybe a year old she already had a 2009 Range Rover a friend I met at uni flew from Auckland to London for a week to go shopping clothes were cheaper in London so to him it made sense his parents were from Singapore and had no idea just how much cheaper cars were in New Zealand so when he said he needed $70 K for a Toyota Corolla they gave him the money and he bought a used BMW m3 when he went home for the summer he asked if I could mind the car for him given his dad had pretty much cut him off at that point he just said I had to pay for insurance on it and I could treat it like my own but as a 19 yo sharing a flat and barely getting by there was no way I could cover the cost of insurance let alone petrol this happened a couple of weeks ago at the infiniti dealership i was in the waiting room with a very well-dressed lady for our loaner cars she left the waiting room to look at her loaner and came back crying she said she drives a fully-loaded qx80 and they gave her a qx60 with nothing in it I said sorry that happened and asked how long she was going to have the loaner for she said a couple of hours I wanted to tell her to suck it up but instead i sat there quiet thinking how life must be easy for her to cry over a loaner car a Saudi guy in the UK got in a crash with light damage to one side of brand-new Mercedes he called for one of his assistants to come get him even though the car was fully drivable my friend rolled up on call with his tow truck and asked the guy way he wanted the a merc towed the guy gave him the keys and said keep I don't want it dang I need to befriend some Saudi princes girl got a two-year old Ranger over for her 17th now 20 and still doesn't have her license sits unused in their four car garage I used to have a friend who would constantly say I love when my dad gives me money and if I ask for a certain amount of money my parents always give me $50 extra this girl then bought an apartment boasting about it on Facebook and how proud she was of herself now at 23 she was able to afford a home at such a young age all on her own still makes me want to faceplant into a pile of jagged rocks dad bought his college-age daughter a house in a very nice neighborhood so that she and her friends could live rent-free while they attended University he remodeled the entire house in all he probably spent close to $2 million two weeks after moving in they left a candle burning while they went to the store to get snacks for a football game I came home and the house was on fire a month later it was good and new for them to move back in I mean the upside is that he probably had insurance on the home not exactly rich kid syndrome but there was this family that had two children who attended the elementary school that was connected to my middle school every day the two parents would leave the house and drive separately to pick up their two kids before returning home I should mention at this point that they each drove a Lamborghini one black and one orange back to back in the pickup line to get their kids from elementary school at first I thought they were just being showy but then I realized that they were two-seaters so this was really the only way to do it modern problem my personal favorite was in college kids down the hall from me bought a brand-new Fender Stratocaster and played with it for a day and got bored and sold it to me case and all for $20 I still have it in play at fifteen years later it's a great guitar I knew someone who goes out of the country just to have a haircut spoiler the guys from the Vatican my brother and I grew up working class but when my mom remarried we were all of a sudden in the 1% one day when we were in high school my brother's girlfriend came over to our place and tears it turns out the family's Mercedes was in the shop and she had to use the OT I had a scholarship to 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 em were spoiled little brats most of the kids got given cars for their seventeenth 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 I Jeff about cars but everyone else seemed impressed he picked up a couple of friends to go for a spin and before he got 100 metres up the road he completely wrecked the freaking car his dad bought him a new one the next day and he complained that it was the wrong colour had a kid that lived across the hall from me my freshman year of college from Honduras during one of the icebreakers after freshman move-in he leaned to me to ask if I knew when the mates came to make his bed clean I guess his family was very well-off in his home country and the entire semester was an eye-opener for him in actually taking care of themselves I don't know if it's like this in Honduras we learned from a Latin American country and maids are actually quite affordable in these type of nations at least mine my family could afford one as a child despite being middle class and having one of my parents be unemployed at the time and an apartment complex we later moved into had someone that would come and clean the apartments every week or so first day as a librarian in a private school help a seven-year-old with the printer he offers to tip me I like this one because he is not a snot he's just trying to be polite there was this rich kid in our class who was literally disgusted by us buying used stuff like computer parts on eBay once during conversation I said I bought on eBay memory module for my PCM said to me that I should have a little dignity and if I buy used stuff I should keep it to myself I know a garbage man that works in rich neighborhoods and takes out trash around move-out time for the Yuba rich kid University every year he finds 200-300 game consoles the newest ones and sometimes desktop PCs the kids don't want to take them home they just throw them all out he makes a good 40 K year on eBay he just cleans stuff up and sells it nice supplementary income 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 shitload 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 shipshape we were super proud of the fact that we managed to get a fully functional and reliable boat together for a little under five 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 to 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 beers one thing led to another and they were climbing aboard to head out for a spin this is when I noticed 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 crap that's my grandmother's Island over there drop me off now we will have that we had put so much effort into the boat and she dismissed it as a piece of garbage but whatever his kind of Abita we dropped her off on the island the dock had over five million dollars in boats parked at it the girl sucks 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-plus 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 granny for the win this one is kind of mild I guess but goes to show how clueless wealthy kids can be completely unaware of the disparity between them and average income people anyways he picked me up in a new $85,000 sports car one day the newest Corvette special edition model fresh off the line I said holy crap dude your car is incredible he said he wished everyone knew he had to work a full month with his grandfather and earned it himself I watched rich kids of Instagram on YouTube and I'm still recovering kids trying to straight-up bribe bouncers and even police officers this is less surprising when you realize there were international students from rich families where bribes are common expected thankfully they'd learn really quick to not do that I was talking to a guy who does a lot of work in the developing world he says bribing a cop in those countries is the equivalent of tipping a server here I had two friends in college who were from UAE they were brothers and their parents were sending them to school in the u.s. they were actually pretty cool and down to earth if not a good bit weird they knew I didn't have a ton of money and couldn't afford to do the cool stuff they did so they covered me all the time crazy stuff like renting a private plane to go to a concert black cars with drivers expensive dinners in exclusive clubs on the weird side they slaughtered a goat in the bathtub to make a traditional Arabian dinner and they wore far too much tracker I had a UAE friend like this he rented out a bar for a frat party his birthday party and asked why I wasn't drinking the free beer oh I have celiac so I can't it's no big deal really oh not in honor where everyone gets provided for he opened me a tab and ordered me gf food GF family is wealthy she's working her way to it but she was waiting to get a chance for a promotion and the words I cannot believe anyone would make somebody work for almost a year to get a promotion came out of her mouth and I laughed there's a lot of rich kids in my particular business program in university I met this one girl a few months ago at a social we were chatting a bit about our program and she proudly told me about how she threatens to sue the school when other things don't go her way she also said said something to the effect of they have to take the threat seriously because they know I actually have the means to follow through Hannah girl at work told me she hated her dad I asked why she said he keeps asking for money since she used his credit card for a euro trip and left him an 80 grand bill from last year ex-girlfriends friend said to me can you believe there are people who have never been on a private jet euhh yeah I'm one of them a 14 year old in full volume cursing meltdown where the Frick is he because the pilot of the private helicopter that had brought him they had gone off to get a cup of coffee the kid was done skiing for the day and found it totally unacceptable that he had to wait ten minutes before he got flown home that poor pilot I hope he wasn't fired over a cup of coffee when I was in college a friend that was heavy and the frat life told me about a freshman that got kicked out for having a servant flown to town to do the hazing chores he was supposed to do don't talk to him he'll think he's people as a kid I was people like we had no money and barely kept the lights on my mother did an awesome job and even worked two different jobs and went to night school at one point to make a better future for us I grew up without a lot of things but it taught me a lot about what you really need in life which is a roof over your head and food in your belly everything after that is a plus really I had a lot of friends who wear wore a better off than me but one kid in particular had everything he was a Jehovah's Witness so didn't do birthdays Christmas but would often just get stuff to kind of make up for it at times he would be his mother out for buying him something that he thought was crap or wasn't the right model of something despite getting loads of stuff which was awesome all the time he was that kid that had all the games consoles toys in the world but would moan about it one of the last times I hung out with him he was shouting at his mother because she had promised him that she would buy him a new guitar he was learning but the time of the day had gotten late and she want able to go like it was when all the stores were shut so it was literally impossible but this kid just kept chewing her out because of it and speaking to her like she was some kind of it was painful to watch and I was like 14 at the time I stopped hanging around with him after that I later heard his mother cracked and had enough of him then kicked him out of the house he later ended up being a shoplifter and lived in the local emka for a bit in fairness I think he's back on track now but as the kid he was a bit of a dong to his parents funny short story my ex-wife used to drive a 1998 Honda Accord she treated it like crap and so one day I got into it to drive somewhere and I noticed that it was falling apart I had two options junkyard or sell it and so I put it on Craigslist for 250 dollars I thought it could go to a low-income family that had someone with some know-how who could semi restore it but when I meet the buyer he was not who I expected he pulled up in a brand-new Escalade and told me that he that his son was spoiled his son had crashed a BMW Mercedes and an audience oh he was done buying him nice cars turns out this guy purchased my car is a way of torturing his son I went to college with a guy who totaled five Mustangs in a year I don't think he was sober enough to remember any of them I work in a jail I always love when someone gets arrested and comes in screaming deal you know WH Oh my dad mom grandpa uncle is he'll buy your entire eff jail it's even better when their dad mom grandpa uncle refuses to come bond them out you have been visited by the chunk of good fortune like this
