You might want to read the work of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. He talks about class differences in behavior and mentions the exact same thing you're doing (The attitude of "If I had that kind of money, I'd know much better ways to spend it"). If he's right, I'd have to guess you've not exactly grown up wealthy...

Or don't read him, his writing is awful. But he has some interesting ideas and observations.

I most definitely did not grow up wealthy but I have managed to do well for myself. I do think there's a difference between growing up wealthy vs. having created wealth in terms of how one's outlook and the value they put on things. Not that I'm anywhere close to being the the league of private jets or 100k evenings at clubs in St. Tropez.

lol I was last summer in St.Tropez and can confirm a coke is in good restaurants really expensive, I could have been even more than 10 €.

But this site is boring, I agree on Devo, they should do some really crazy stuff with their money

meh. If I was as rich as them I'd probably still be doing that same thing. Maybe I'd eat better but that's about it.

I'm only really jealous about the yachts and jets. A bottle of Dom is relatively affordable for even the middle class.

The AK is relatively inexpensive at only $9k. Compared to most of the stuff on there that's chump change.

If he's intelligent (and I'm being benevolent with the assumption) the gold stuff is not gold but titanium nitride, which is used both by professional/hardcore shooters with a penchant for the exotic and jackasses who like GOLDEN GUNZ but they can't find a competent/insane jeweler.
 
Maybe. But can you imagine never being able to fully trust anyone you know, even your supposed "friends", because you never know who is yes-ing you to death so they can keep sucking on your money spigot? I guess maybe if you are born into this life you just don't know otherwise, so it's no big deal...but I think it would bother me immensely after awhile.

Don't share, problem solved :p

Better than hoarding money and barely doing anything with it I guess.

Not big on alcohol and...gold AK-47s, but I'd love to travel the world so freely and easily.

Now we know how 99% of the Internet looks to a someone sitting at a cybercafe in Nairobi. Egregious demonstrations of wealth are relative things. To the guy complaining on pg. 1, your sucking down beers at $2 a pop is still more than what the majority of people in the world spend to survive a single day.

Yes, spending $100K on... anything is crazy, but let's just keep in mind that even our "humble" expressions of wealth here in the U.S. can still look incredibly extravagant to the rest of the world.

The best thing about being rich is being able to not have to worry about not affording Hospital bills if something goes wrong.
 
10 euro coke has got nothing on overpaying for bailey's irish cream. Or Patron holy fuck.

This one in particular can be refuted because it's not even in USD, as most would probably presume. This one is in Jamaican Dollars, which are like ~90:1 JMD to USD. You know this by the 17.5% GCT tax charged on the receipt (Jamaica's sales tax).

$43000 JMD is around $478 USD. Dont' get too excited about the fake ballin' ;-). Not all is what it seems.
 
Well he is always hanging with beautiful chicks (has a hot GF now) wears custom clothing and flys first class all over the world.

He's a very witty dude. Some of the shit that comes out of his mouth is historical.

Who gives a shit. His life probably revolves around impressing phonies and leeches. He has the money to actually do something meaningful for himself and the world and instead spends it ugly gucci sweaters and overpriced champagne. He's a fake pathetic person.
 
I'm wondering why so many of you guys envy these people.

The haven't done anything productive in their lives, so fuck 'em. There parents, however, deserve the wealth by being smarter than the rest of us - and I honestly really don't even care how they earned their money.

By that I'd say that if their parents would shut of the supply of limitless money for their kids, I'd happy.

I envy them because they don't have to take crap from anybody like commoners like me do. i hate my job and its really taught me to despise people. Sheltering myself from these people would be my first priority if i ever had serious cash.

Yes. That's pretty much how it works. Over generations families just get richer and richer. My great grandfather had one of the biggest companies in America before he sold it and my relatives still have that money doing things with it, investing in companies, starting businesses and real estate.

My friends that have money, same thing. They get it from their family, and no, I am not one of those losers that would ever post or brag about shit on instagram on how much money I have or how sick my car is. I find that pretty embarrassing.
