Wealth—whether it’s generational, inherited, self-made, or based on luck—can have a bizarre effect on some individuals. While some folks do their best not to let their riches change who they are, others slowly lose perspective and have less and less in common with the rest of society.
Today, we’re looking at some of the most out-of-touch and tone-deaf things that internet users have ever heard rich people say aloud, as shared in an intriguing thread on AskReddit. You’ll find their insights below.

An ex-boyfriend’s mother grew up on a ranch is south central Texas, which she now co-owned w her siblings. The bf got permission to take me down one weekend to see the place. His mother (who hadn’t visited the place for some time) casually said, “Let me know if the window is still intact, will you?” I forgot about it until we were on our way there, and asked what was up with that. Turns out, the window in question is in the front parlor, with a chaise lounge sitting under it. When they were schoolgirls, his mother and her sisters had ‘written’ their initials on the glass with their diamond rings.

I was once told to never reveal a good deal. They said I should make it seem like I paid full price.

Last week the prime minister of my province said about the lack of appartement and the price of those available. « You can easily get one for 500$ and that can raise to 800$ - 900$. » But the reality is for 800$ you can afford one room in colocation. The reality is starting at 1500$ and rise up. After he try to justify by saying he was talking for the student. But the problem it’s not the student who get in the street caused by speculation and reno-viction. It’s the family’s. Even when the 2 parents are working. And the other who get homeless built a tents camp and they also been kicked out. Nowhere to go the curfew etc.
BTW her’s it’s only 3 months of not cold temperatures.

Doesn't exactly answer your question, but there's this awesome scene I love from the documentary Queen of Versailles. Basically about this rich family building America's biggest house and showcases their decline as 2008 hit.
In it, they all get really drunk at a Christmas party and the real estate guy starts blabbing about the entire economic situation. Basically about how they were able to get away with financial m****r -- the banks duped all those people, their mega businesses profited, they got away with it, and now the country is doing the same exact thing and letting them get away with it all over again. Guy seemed amazed that the system was so easy for them to manipulate if anything.

My ex bought a 10k massage chair, but wouldn't buy PSN to play CW because she had to buy clothes to match the purpose. She also didn't know how to cook, lived in her own house and was a horse riding champion.
She was tone deaf to some things not all, like she knew the struggles, and knew things, but somethings she didn't get. It honestly broke me a bit when I broke up with her, but you know, things happen.
