35 Obscene Moments That Prove The Rich Are Playing A Different Game

Only drinking fiji water. My friends mom. I've been friends with him for 12 years and she will literally only drink Fiji water, she even brings a bottle to restaurants so she wont have to drink the free water they give you.

Not really an obscene display but more of just showing what money can do if you have lots of it. The only reason my high school exists is because the guy who founded it wanted to send his grand-daughters to the local all boys high school and make it coed, but they declined and even turned down his $100 million offer so he decided to build a new high school. I dont know exactly how much it costed to build, but I do know the initial fundraiser raided $60 million, the theater building alone was $14 million, and the natatorium was $18.8 million.

Guys daughters macbook had some minor issue. He just bought her another one moments later and got rid of the old one.

My old band played a show for the owner of The Chapters (net worth. 600 million, basically the Canadian Barnes and Noble) and her husband (owner of Onyx Equity, 1.2 billion) in Nantucket.
They literally had a gift-shop in their basement.

I worked for an obscenely rich man who lived in a massive house by himself. He couldn’t lay flat so he spent all his time in his living room with 3 TVs and a projector that would come down if he wanted it. He slept in a recliner and would keep the AC as cold as it would go. The power bill was $3,500+ in the summer.

All he did was watch Fox News and random TV shows and occasionally go on 5-7 week crack binges.

I went to a party at a surgeons home. My girlfriend of the time worked for him. His bathroom was the size of my apartment. His shower stall could easily fit ten. The shower did not function as a shower per se, it was literally raining inside this large booth. Water came from hundreds of holes in the ceiling. There was a bench running through the middle of this shower booth. The shower had a door at one end that led you through a hot tub like bath and from this tub you could go into a sauna that easily sat 20 people. What is bizarre about this guy is he is single, childless and has few friends. The rest of his house was ridiculous in its immensity. But that shower stuck out in my mind.

My mom was a cook for an oil executive in Calgary.

She would cook very large meals everyday, with full courses, enough to feed many people. Usually he would be the only one to eat it, and he would not allow leftovers in his house.

The first day of class, his university daughter was distraught and didn't go because her new truck was delayed in delivery. She refused to be seen dead in her previous car because it was too old and driving it was embarrassing. It was a fully loaded vehicle from the previous year, she got a new truck each September.

His daughter also needed fresh baked muffins to take to school everyday. So my mom would come in early to bake them. This would end up being about two hours of labor at $30/hour. The daughter would take just one or two muffins to school, and would only eat them 50% of the time.

Spending between 5-7 grand a week on c**ck, buying it almost daily. He also brought new pipes each time, which I know is cheap but you can reuse the kind he brought. The day old pipes would be all over the floor, by the way. This same guy also flew out his step-son to Amsterdam just for hookers on his 16th birthday. The old f**k is currently owner of two mansions in separate states and has a original Pac Man machine just to have.

Oh! He also spent 4 grand on poodle puppies on an impulse. He got cranky because he had to get a toy and a mini instead of two toys. They were bred for the lulz (one was almost given to the crack dealer but my SO took him instead and he's happy and normal sized now) and were almost thrown away but his wife stopped that. And they're not with him since he's at one of his houses and they're at the other one.

I grew up lower middle class, so he is the first and only rich person I have ever met. There surely were other displays of wealth but these the ones that stuck with me.

Edit: Imagine Frank Reynolds (with a dash of Dennis' sexual deviancy and c**ck a*******n) without the charm and what makes them funny. That's the best way to describe him. I'm sure he's even pulled the fake-out.

A youth soccer game was canceled because the owner of my favorite hockey team used the field as a personal helipad so he could go watch the game. Turned out to be a miscommunication as he had authorization to use the field for this, but the helicopter company hadn't made the proper arrangements with the school.

Naw buddies parents new house has an elevator.

Their new house was built brand new to look like a 100 year old house that’s been remodeled over the decades. it’s wild because it works.

A home theater room with built in projection system and stadium seats.

OR

A two car garage filled with power tools and hardware (neatly organized and labeled) with an expensive antique vehicle of sorts that is in the process of restoration.

When 'my father gave me a small loan of $100000'
Edit: $1,000,000.

Every bedroom has an ensuite. A Butler's pantry. Higher than average ceilings. Specific rooms like library, office, media (with a proper projection screen), gym. Exceptionally well maintained garden with water features. Pool with pool house. Stables if in the country. Helicopter pad.

One time I had bought tickets to the ballet for my girlfriend and I. When we got there, the theater was closed and the only thing on the door was a newspaper article on the door saying a local billionaire had brought all of them on his yacht for a quiet weekend away. Every single one of those Russians were on that boat. My girlfriend was pissed but I thought it was pretty badass.

I dunno if this counts but earlier today in an exam my professor put his gold diamond rolex watch on the scanner thingy up on the projector screen as a timer rather than just looking up a timer on google.
