    askreddit - Text - dominus83 25.8k points 16 hours ago In middle school we were asked to draw our homes for some assignment and hand it in at the end of class. A popular, extremely wealthy kid that sat behind me raised his hand and smugly asked the teacher for another sheet of paper because he couldn't draw it all on one page. His friends just snickered but I was cringing. Even at 12 I remember thinking it was such a snobby thing to say.

    askreddit - Text - LookAcrossTheWater 22.1k points 15 hours ago edited 4 I work for a dentist and her son is a spoiled brat. He was at the office one day because she had to bring him to an appointment later that day. He got bored and went out wandering around some of the local shops. He came back a little while later and without any preamble walked up to her and said "give me $80". She asked him what it was for and he just repeated himself and she gave it to him.

    askreddit - Text - Nouseriously 22.7k points 15 hours ago Went to school with a crazy rich kid, his parents divorced and each decided to buy his love. Mommy owned a real estate agency, so she got him a license and spoon fed him enough sales for a 6 figure income. The dad then BOUGHT HIM A MAGAZINE. Yes, the dad bought a magazine for his 24 year old coke head son to "run". Worked about as well as you'd imagine.

    askreddit - Text - petroldrinker 15.3k points 15 hours ago The Nintendo DS just came out. It was like $150 and my family lived in a cramped 1 bedroom apartment and drove a 20 year old car that was always breaking down. We ate those cheap bags of Walmart beans and rice for months at one point. I expressed the desire to own one after my friend said he had one and I got "Why can't your parents just... buy you one? I don't get it, it's dirt cheap?"

    askreddit - Text - LovelyPorcelain 20.9k points 16 hours ago My fiance's cousin. He managed to crash 4 cars while still in high school because his father would replace them. When he moved onto college, he got kicked out of several apartments for owning a dog when they weren't permitted. He told me he didn't care though, since his father also funded his continuous stream of new housing. From what I last heard, his Father is now paying for his long-standing cocaine habit.
