People Reveal Best "Rich Kids" Hit With Reality Stories (r/AskReddit Top Posts | Reddit Stories)

what was the best moment you've seen where the real world hit a spoiled rich kid I grew up with rich kids and still keep in touch with a few of them one guy's father owned the most prestigious law firm in town he said his life changed the moment he called his father from jail the second time it happened his father said well sorry to hear you got arrested good luck then hung up he said getting locked back into his cell was the singular moment that completely turned his life around that's a good life lesson sounds like the dad cares but wants his son to actually grow up to be a good successful person do you know if he actually turned his life around and got better from there I knew this rich kid from high school that went off to college and partied every single night his parents found out that he was failing basically all of his classes so they secretly drove up early one Saturday morning with the spare set of keys to the car they had bought him and just drove off with the car somewhat distant relative spent all of his university years and twenties partying hard with the 100 - 120 km PSA's rich company owning father gave him each year he travelled the world each year going to Bali Thailand Europe every year our Topa fest just rampaging at 32 or so he decided to settle an upscale ski resort area of the US and open a business with his hot girl dinner fiance when he went to transfer his money to his US bank account he noticed it only came to a few thousand dollars he angrily asked the bank worker why she hadn't transferred the entire amount only to be told that that was the entire amount his father had cut him off without saying anything and he just hadn't noticed absolute flatline legendary mate which guy in our college dorm thought he was untouchable cause his dad was some NFL player from the 90s and had not blown all his money yet he would get freshmen girls blackout drunk and then film himself having sex with them and then show all his buddies the next day or so well one buddy was not as close as he thought and went to the rahu then went to campus police and then real police it was a fun night watching the parking lot fill up with the bored cops on duty that night and haul his ass out of the dorms while they went and gathered his evidence what happened to him afterwards did he return to school never saw him after that night this took place near the end of the week Thursday or Friday cause I remember going to class on Monday and his dorm was empty and being cleaned by the housekeeping staff that one Instagram model who got caught on video talking sheet to a security guard at VidCon not only did the guard stand his ground and not let him in because he wasn't famous enough to be given a pass and too rich to just buy one but once the internet saw the video the guard ended up with more followers than the kid you're irrelevant classmate in college failed his course partied for a year with daddy's money never studied ever fingers inheriting his father's construction company - quarry's a fleet of trucks and equipment depended on him Manning up and passing the class all he had to do was learn the basics of mechanical diagnostic and repair and be set for life he just needed to pass one class talk about wasted opportunities one course he failed four or five classes all were needed to graduate administration and faculty at a university refused a substantial offer of endowment money from a couple that wanted their son enrolled as an art major their son couldn't meet the minimum scholastic entrance requirements and he had little aptitude for art still with their millions he thought money would buy his way to an easy degree as an art major he was dumbfounded to receive a notice of non admittance cries in German I had a roommate my freshman year of college that came from an incredibly rich oil family from the Middle East I remember him having the hardest time adjusting to not having someone else prepare him food I remember waking up one morning and going to the kitchen and seeing him try to eat eggs and toast he had just prepared himself he asked me how I normally prepare fried eggs because his tasted really crunchy turns out he had just cracked the egg hole into the pan and prepared its shell and all I couldn't stop laughing but felt really bad for the dude at least he tried true he was a good dude was an interesting semester helping him learn how to live providing for himself I knew a guy in high school who bragged that he didn't have to pay attention in school because get this his grandfather was a vice president of the corporation that supplied the cardboard for cereal boxes for General Mills real gravy train ya know last I checked since deleted Facebook he was still working at Best Buy five years after high school same job he had at high school I don't think my father the inventor of toaster strudel would be too pleased with this probably on the BBC yesterday when Prince Andrew got the sheet kicked out of him for an hour about his association with Epstein Epstein's the guy who didn't tell himself right my best moment was when I got hired by a pair of woodside CA parents to transition their horrible 18 year old into the realities of real life something that evaded both of them my first action was to take away his platinum limitless credit cards he threw a tantrum that lasted several days where am I going to get money get a job my parents will fire you they didn't when he realized that boundaries and budgets had been set in stone and that he not only had to pay the bills the rent but taxes too he headed straight to college to wait out the next four years he is still a little jerk but at least he has a job and an education now how does one get into this line of work I was the nanny while working through my PDD so I came to it indirectly there is a whole workforce of folks who do this word-of-mouth and next door one of my college roommates told his parents the trip we were planning that they were paying for was four hundred dollars more expensive than it was so he could buy a really nice bomb in addition they basically paid for everything he wanted he had their credit card and ordered food on it at least once daily he also would make $50 purchases off the card pretty regularly long story short they found out he lied about the cost of the trip for whatever reason they still paid and let him go but after the trip he could not use their card anymore this dude acted like he lived the hardest life of all time afterwards but eventually sucked it up he actually acts way less entitled now it ended up having a lasting positive effect for him even though he wouldn't admit it I love stories like this no joke here back in high school 90s this kid got a brand-new Chevy Camaro I had an old as 80s Pontiac Phoenix that had the straight six it was by far not a racing car but this tool was just looking to brag out what he got compared to the busted cars we got about two days later while we were waiting at a stoplight this idiot tries to race us as I am in my car and I pull up with my friends he does start by revving it really loud and tries to do a burnout mind you the light was red and the roads were not wet so he managed to get a tiny burnout going some smoke and whatnot when his tars did catch traction he went barreling into the intersection and smashed the car of the wife of one of the very few cops in my small city needless to say that didn't work out for him very well at the start of this I thought you were just explaining the plot of Tokyo Drift with slightly different cars don't know if I'm happy you weren't bamboozling at a Starbucks and she thought apparently people gave her parents free drinks and such for her all these years like the cashier told how the total and she said wait I don't get it for free she never realized her parent's swiping their cards all those years was paying for her things I guess to be fair my mom who did not have wealthy parents thought the same thing when she and her sister snuck off the DQ for ice cream she was also five while working in a casino here in Las Vegas a herd of girls came to my window and one proceeded to tell me about a great birthday party itinerary that her dad had paid for for her 18th birthday with no adults in the party just a bunch of teenaged girls out in Vegas when none of them could do anything because none of them were 21 I couldn't even check them into their reservation they start yelling and screaming at me I calmly call security and security tells them they can either go play in the arcade or even try to find a hotel off the strip that will take them and W out being 21 the anger turns to tears the security guard is unmoved that's their parents fault a stupid 18th birthday gift middle school a classmate is on the phone when most of us didn't have cell phones screaming at her stepdad Patrick I need the $500 I need to buy new jeans she did not get the $500 but she didn't later get to be a Teen Mom so that was cool edited to a DD she wanted multiple pairs of jeans this was when boot cut skinny and bedazzled jeans were all equally popular at our school she was not going to spend the $500 on one pair raise your kids and spoil your grandkids or spoil your kids and raise your grandkids a kid from my high school came from a well-known family that was very involved in politics he slacked off in school and was mostly a condescending as for years after graduation he didn't really do anything but eventually decided to run for office as he had the same name as his father he won easily because people didn't realize it was the kid as a state rep he posted on Facebook about enjoying his women battered rather than plain and asking to join the Black Caucus because he liked hip-hop he also dropped a loaded gun on the floor in the middle of a session after fighting for the right to carry a gun in the Statehouse as a responsible gun owner he kept getting elected despite these issues because his family was well-connected and he had a dedicated following from some political groups after six years in office he gets busted for soliciting sex from a minor over the Internet when they arrest him for that they also discover he's been dealing Droog us the worst part is that his family is actually super nice and genuinely made the community a better place but now they have to deal with all the issues from him he was an apple that fell very far from the tree comma is this in an age we had a drug-dealing gum dropping pedo state Rep for a few years I hope there isn't two of them long nothing too serious but I taught at an international school in Africa and we would take the high school students camping one week out of the year many of these kids are not used to camping at all and have never even taken public transport have full-time drivers bring them to school and pick them up some of them are from very wealthy and politically-connected families having to set up tents and get dirty not be able to shower every day and sleep on hard ground is new to them some of them actually love it but others are sad pathetic wretches the entire week nothing is the great equalizer like camping when I was a teenager my sister and I saw through our windows that there were two guys getting into her car we ran down stairs as fast as possible and caught them in the act one managed to run away but the other one frozen didn't run away he couldn't have been much older than me my sister called the cops and the kid kept looking at us and trying to find a way to escape my sister said run if you want my brother we'll catch you the cops came and so did his parents his mom drove a ducking amazing car and the lady looked furious and sad she was dressed really nice and looked like she was pretty successful as soon as she got out she began yelling why we give you everything you have everything why would you try and steal don't we give you enough the kid just seemed to shrink and get smaller I don't get it ducking his whole I hope he turned his life around and began to be around better people sometimes that's what it takes to get through to people freshman year of college the guy across the hall from me as a spoiled rich kid from a big southern city old money clearly coming out his ass a couple weeks into the second semester he and a buddy found a checkbook on the sidewalk stupid duck has decided to write themselves a check and cash it in the bank that the account is him the teller immediately called the cops and they both got arrested we talked the night he got arrested and he laughed and said his dad would take care of it and everything would be fine that weekend we met his dad as they moved everything out of the dorms SIM system as got expelled guests daddy didn't take care of it if he's not being charged with a felony his dad pulled through if he's still facing charges his dad still bailed him out his dad definitely took care of the situation I went to a very rich predominantly white Catholic high school one moment I remember was the wind absolutely being taken out of a girl's sails when I explained to her why our school dominated the area's skiing Golf and equestrian competitions but never anything else for a lot of kids in that school the moment they learned they were it was the moment they learned that most girls don't have their own horses growing up how does anyone not realize that where do all these people's struggling to rent an apartment keep their horse kid I knew one a cool million off a scratch ticket when he was 19 acted like a big-shot arrogantly buying rounds of drinks for entire bars didn't do sheet for 20 years then got the last check alcoholic no savings no assets no skills he's now in and out of hospitals for alcohol poisoning and mental breakdowns lost his paper hat job his GF everything TBF if I had a million dollars handed to me at 19 I'd probably be dead local rich kid had his SUV parked in a no-parking area at a club tow truck shows up to tow it away and the kid goes ballistic do you know who my dad is et Cie to the driver after a minute or two of this the passenger gets out of the tow truck and is a full patch Hell's Angel the biker politely tells him it doesn't matter who he thinks his family is in the SUV is towed away for a couple of years in high school I went to this super expensive American private school in Switzerland the company might add work for paid for almost all the tuition so it was an amazing opportunity for me most of the kids in this school were either State Department or from American families living in Saudi Saudi provided expat kids with school up until 10th grade so you had to go to a school abroad to finish HS there were however a few Saudi kids that were there mostly so that they would be able to speak flawless English to help out their future careers one of these kids who I will call the prince was somewhere in the line of Saudi succession but honestly he was like 1455 thin line for the throne not a real contender for King but his family was rich like rich in a way that most of us can't even imagine this school had some rules like you couldn't have a car as a student even if you were old enough to get a license Switzerland this rule was a real buzz Hill for the prince but he made it through the year somehow over the summer after his junior year he drove back to the school from Geneva in his Lambo probably just because he could do it outside the school year on his way up the mountain the road is like a rental Aesir ease of hairpin turns he managed to flip his Lambo into veneered while trying to navigate one of those hairpin turns I'm guessing a Lambo has a lot of power and he took it too hard his parents furious at what he had done decided to punish him by replacing his Lamborghini with a Porsche and the prince was Sol angry he complained about it bitterly when the school year started up again the rest of us kind have just looked at each other in amazement same planet different worlds I guess I wish my parents would punish me by making me drive a Porsche I knew a kid in high school whose parents were loaded when he got his driver's license they bought him a $70,000 Mercedes within a month or two he totaled the car while driving drunk parents pulled strings to get him off the full weight of the DUI oh and they bought in another $70,000 Mercedes he overdosed on a raped load of drew gas and booze when he was 23 he's dead Jesus that was a blunt ending I knew one who apparently couldn't fathom how people live on a budget we used to hang out a lot at her insistence but she liked to eat at expensive places whereas I'd have no issue having my meals somewhere cheaper however she kept pouting and insisting I stay I said I couldn't unless she wanted to spot me she didn't I then walked her through the math and showed her that the cost of my meals with her everyday totaled my entire wage for the month she didn't stop pouting but from then on I could eat by myself in peace reminds me of a friend that we brought travel in Europe with another buddy we had a strict budget and he did not it almost ruined our friendship with him calling us cheap we were like dude we literally can't afford to eat at the places you want to eat he had absolutely no idea and thought it was just a choice on our end guy from my robotics group had his entire life handed to him his dad was stupid rich because his dad bought shares his an oil field that turned out to have 40x the expected yields making his $100,000 investment become around 3 million then he dumped that into real estate rentals he decided it would be fun to go to a school trip in Philly acting rich as dark he drove his lifted modded SUV to school we were doing a robotics event at in North Philly talking to younger kids about how it's fun and their school has started offering it ven what we're going to the Franklin Institute from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. then a Phantom's hockey game well 9:30 rolls around and we leave the school to see our bus driver talked into cops five kids drove them down guess which car was stolen his $90,000 monstrosity was missing and after two months all that was ever recovered was his stereo from a pawn shop and his laptop the best ducking Bart he didn't have insurance on it yet because he can just buy the other person's car if there's an accident anyway I'd win the fight his dad flipped out over it and cut his allowance to $200 a month and forced him to drive a beater till he saved up his own money [Music]
