“Eat The Rich”: 30 Times Rich People Were Caught Being Excruciatingly Self-Absorbed (New Pics)
Money makes the world go round. Without it, things get tough. With plenty, almost anything feels within reach.
But that kind of wealth can create a serious disconnect from how most people live—and sometimes, it leads to comments so tone-deaf, the internet has no choice but to call them out.
Below, you’ll find some of the most jaw-dropping moments when rich folks were shamed online for their out-of-touch takes. Scroll down and upvote the ones that made your eyes roll the hardest!

Billions For The Rich, Crumbs For The Rest
We made an attempt to shift to government-subsidized healthcare with Obama, but the rich and the really stupid poor made a big stink and ended up ruining both private and federal health insurance at the same time. If they quit bailing out airports or banks and used the money on healthcare, and reverted insurance laws back to when they could only operate in the state where they registered the business, we could clean up some of this mess.
Load More Replies...They forget that all that money they're approving is what WE made with OUR labor.
Crazy how much extra money in taxes I'll be spending throughout my lifetime for us to hand away Ukraine to Putin on a shiny silver platter. If they were going to yell about Zelensky's suit in the White House they should've done it back in '22.

And the government remains perplexed on why so many citizens lie on their tax forms, because once it's in the government's hands, it's going to the 1%. So keep on cheating to supplement your joke insurance coverage.

Or give $600 to a poor person & they will put it right back into the economy. Rich people will send it to an overseas bank.
Studies show that for every $1 spent on children's food programs will pay out $9 back into the economy in the future. Similar studies have similar results for programs to educate women and children. It's almost as if we invest in our people, we are investing in our futures. Crazy, I know.

Money Is In The Wrong Hands. I Don't Know What To Say
And the makeup artist was already a millionaire at the time, so they could've easily afforded it.
The next island vacation for the Kardashian/Jenner tribe of selfish, shallow, cruel idiots is a barren island with no way back to any main land. The people who follow them should book their own reservations because we don't need your kind breathing our air.
Trump would have paid the bill and not told anyone. He's done it many times.
Like that woman who was on Full House who created a gofundme for her kids team
Look, I think Jenner and her family can all take a long walk off a short pier, but this story has been subtly twisted. It was a former makeup artist who used to work for her, not her current one, and even then, she wasn't obligated to give anything. The target amount was originally $10 000, Ms. Jenner donated $5000 on top of the $6000 that had already been raised to push it over the top. She then made an appeal to her fans, and they responded - eventually raising more than $50 000. That should have been the whole story, but some people need controversy, I suppose.
Well, we are talking about the same person who asked people to throw money at her so she could become a "self made billionaire". And they did.
Perhaps her makeup artist was the only one that could transform her from The Thing into a somewhat attractive woman. Saying that, she really should have used her own money to pay for the medical bills rather than expect her "fan" to stump up the money.

To Gain Sympathy From People
Sam Smith lives in this house. It's a former Royal palace, dating back to Henry VIII, a listed building worth about £16M. It's a 4-floor palace, with a private pub, a private nightclub and a billiard room. The "garden" is effectively a park, with a second 5-bedroom, 350 years hold house in it for friends and guests. His neighbours are Jude Law and Liam Ghallagher. house-67e5...22e89b.jpg

Load More Replies...To be fair if I had money I too would buy a castle.
Load More Replies...Technically it was an attic they lived in, the entrance was through a door hidden behind a cupboard. However! I believe the trauma of multiple people having to stay silent during the day, food shortages & the ever present, gnawing fear of getting caught which would lead to their inevitable & painful death may have just outranked this rich singer's pain of being in quarantine. (yes, it's sarcasm for those in the back)
I don't like you Sam Smith. I don't like your "music". I don't like your fashion aesthetics. I don't like your shallow whinging. You are a stain.
Poor diddums didn't have anyone to play with. What a waste of protoplasm.
I used to respect Sam Smith as an artist early on, he has an amazing voice. But when I saw him do that controversial, satanical performance on whatever show I don't even remember now, I lost total respect and decided that he has some real mental illness issues to deal with. Maybe while he's cooped up in his mansion, he could bring in a team of psychiatrists...

Never Have I Seen Someone More Out Of Touch. (This Guy Is A Millionaire In The Housing Business)
A common American myth. People are poor because they are dumb or lazy. In other words, poverty is a character defect.
It's another lovely remnant of the Puritans.
Load More Replies...How has no one ever told us this?? Dam it, apparently we've been doing it all wrong, we can just CHOOSE to invest or save our money instead of paying for things like food and housing. /s
Of course poor people have to spend their money... How else would people eat, have clothes, shoes, rent a room or pay bills... or go to places? And they can't afford to save money, because there is never enough money for all they need on a daily basis
I note there is no mention of how the wealthy people actually obtained the money to invest.
Yeah, dumb poor people, spending there meagre earnings on this like food, utilities and a place to live. They should be investing in all those stocks and things that are so easily affordable on a minimum wage. /s
To Be Poor
How'd he do that? He intentionally became homeless and broke. Did he find a genie in a bottle or did he cheat and keep money? Had parents or friends to fall back on? How do you just quit being poor? I REALLY want to know!!!
He never had the stress of a real homeless person, since apparently he could end being homeless whenever he wanted. Any help should have been refused and he be forced to stay where he is, whilst being told that there will be way out for him other than actually make that million. And THEN tell us how he feels.

I read that he managed to make 65,000 pounds before he quit. Nice, but a far cry from 1 million.
How much money did he make that other homeless people were counting on?
My Rolex Is Worth More Than You Haha
Any rich slob can buy a Rolex. Had I the money, I would rather buy an old Heuer Monaco like Steve McQueen wore in Le Mans. I can buy a nice replica for less than $150 though, even if I think that is stupid money for a watch.
Rolex makes 40% on their watches & the dealers make about 20%. They are expensive to buy, not to manufacture.

Parents Are Multi Millionaires Already, And The Business Was Successful For 9 Years Previously
Sounds crazy but I actually used to know someone who bought their kid a bunch of investment properties and every time they'd sell one they'd show the kid and tell them, "You just made this. You did this." Then they would reinvest the funds into more investment properties.
They "did this" by riding the wave of property price rises, caused by the rich hoarding property

CEO Of A $30bn Indian Company Wants You To Pay For The Privilege Of Working For Him
Interestingly they promise to pay the amount of the salary that person would get to a charity of the employee's choice. Still, it's just a way to filter out the poor kids, because only the rich ones could afford to not earn money. Same as with unpaid internships. And then they tell us "look, all these CEOs came from rich families, that proves that the poor just don't have what it takes".

I admit wholeheartedly that I’m crabby today from chemo and fatigue, but one of the things that’s always struck me about BP is the love/hate with wealth and celebrity. There are many posts that are outrage, outrage, outrage… rich celebrities are the devil! Nepo-babieeeeszzzz!!!! Then there are the celebratory tabloid posts entreating us to pity and care about the very same people. Pick a lane. I know, I know… “it’s journalism.” And I admit I’m cranky and I’m sorry about it. But it’s the every other day “hate this/love this” mentality. The same applies to many things here. Men and women. The U.S. it’s just odd to me. Again, I’m sorry. It’s been an emotional year for me.
