Moved states in the summer before high school started and the family was basically living out of suitcases for two months as we were transitioning, finding a house, scheduling movers, etc. The second week of freshman year I walk into a class and sit down.
“Eww!”
I look up at a girl across the table. She looks disgusted.
“What?”
She points at my shirt and I immediately look for spilled something.
“Didn’t you wear that last week?!”
Confused, “Yeah, it’s my shirt…”
“I never wear the same thing twice.”
Turns out, she wasn’t the only one at that school like that, but they were the minority by far.

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 driveable. My friend rolled up on call with his tow truck and asked the guy where he wanted the MErc towed. The guy gave him the keys and said “Keep it; I don’t want it.’

This one is kinda 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 sportscar one day. The newest Corvette special edition model fresh off the line. I said wow 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.

Humble rich kid, I was a club at my college town and my roommates new friend who drove a raptor was at the bar. I started shooting stuff and we were getting along so I offered to buy a Y-Bomb (Vodka-RedBull Shot).
Being as wealthy as he is he said “you don’t have to do that man save your money. Round will be on me.”
I explained to him it didn’t bother I was having a good time and insisted I buy the shot.
Immediately after that, he pulls out a black Amex and purchases the nicest VIP booth in the club around 3k. Then ask what drink packages they have and ask if he could buy 2 bottles on top of Max package. Looks at me and goes “tit for tat”.
Safe to say I don’t recall much after that.

I was in a theology class where we were talking about compromises.
teacher: What are some compromises your parents have made?
very rich girl: My mom wanted to go to Hawaii and my dad wanted to go to Mexico so we went to the Bahamas instead.

One of my friends had a roommate his freshman year of college who, their first night in their apartment, was in the kitchen and said something to the effect of “so, how exactly do you make a sandwich?” He was a decent person, but he’d had a nanny and maids who did every little thing for him in the house, so pretty much had to start from scratch learning how to do basic household tasks.

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 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 pc and said to me that i should have a little dignity, and if i buy used stuff i should keep it to myself.

I went to a private school with a gigantic discount because my father has taught there for nearly 20 years at this point. Oh the stories I could tell. One kid flew to Florida for a dentist appointment. One kid bought a jeep with a credit card. At one point we had an ATM on campus for some reason. Someone found a receipt for a withdrawal from a checking account which still had $900,000 in it. I went on a field trip where we stayed in a hotel for a few nights and my roommate couldn’t understand why I didn’t want to go to a different hotel where we would both pay $100 per night when I only had $100 to last the entire week. I could go on.
