44 Infuriating Stories Of Rich Kids Acting Like Complete Spoiled Brats

23. Instead of having kids clean their rooms to search for missing laptops, $6k+ was spent on new ones.

“Friend asked me to help him do some in-home tech support for one of his clients. This client has 24-hour on-premise security. You don’t wander around in as much are escorted from place to place.

I forget the exact task that he needed me to do but know it required me to go to each family member’s laptop and do some stuff (upgrade, install new software, etc.).

The parents’ laptops were left in the kitchen. They were first to be taken care of. The kids’ devices were in their rooms and I get escorted up to that wing to work on them.

Each room is a complete mess; clothes everywhere, toys, etc. I find this quite refreshing as even with live in house-keeping the kids are responsible for their own areas and it ends up looking like pretty much every other young adults room.

Anyway, the first laptop is a brand-new fully loaded MacBook Pro (or whatever the top of the line Apple was at the time) and needs to be configured for their home network. No biggie. Got the info I needed and set it up.

Me and my shadow proceed to the second room, which is in a similar condition to the first. Again, I find a brand-new laptop, same model as the first. After I am done with it, we are just about to walk out of the room and I catch a glimpse of two other laptops on the floor with junk piled on top of them.

I inquire if I should also take care of them. My inquiry goes from me to security to the client and then back through the guard to me:

‘Oh, you found them? We thought they were lost so we got new ones for the kids.’

TL;DR: Instead of having kids clean their rooms to search for missing laptops, $6k+ was spent on new ones.”

24. Two kids, around ages six and four, pulled out wads of $100 bills to pay for stupidly expensive sunglasses.

“I worked at SunglassHut in south Florida. One day a family of four came in to buy glasses. Now I am used to people having money and buying stupidly expensive sunglasses. But the Dad told the kids, who were probably 6 and 4, to get the glasses they wanted. Both grabbed 4 pairs of sunglasses that cost over $250 each. Then both kids pulled out wads of $100 bills to pay for them.”

25. She started crying and suggesting she will fail her degree until Daddy gave in and bought the 27″ iMac.

“Used to work in an electrical store in a university town in the UK. Once had a family come in shopping for computer goods for the girl to go to university with. She was wearing a big red hat (the kind you would wear to horse racing) which I thought was pretty ‘look at me with my big red hat.’ ANYWAY she kicked off because her ‘Daddy’ would only buy her a MacBook Pro & iMac 21″ for her university room and not the 27″ version. She started crying and suggesting she will fail her degree until Daddy gave in and bought the 27″ iMac. Spoilt.”

26. He poured super-expensive champagne on the club floor to impress the ladies.

“I was at a club with a very rich friend of a friend, who wanted to show off and impress the LAAAAAAAADIES and he poured some super expensive champagne on the floor and was like ‘WHATS MONEY EEEEH.’

I would have told him he’s a fucking idiot and should rethink his life then and there, but I saved that for after he picked up the tab that night (he was overall a very unpleasant guy).”

27. Every semester before returning home, they would toss their barely used designer shirts and sunglasses into the dumpster.

“Maybe not ‘worst.’ Back when I was in college (in the US), at the end of every school year, the students who were from other countries (in particular, Japan, China, and India) would throw out barely-used clothes, bicycles, and any other items they couldn’t bring back with them over summer and didn’t bother to keep in storage. These were often students that were going to this US college for 4 years, but who were just going home for summer.

Many people would go dumpster diving after they left and find designer clothes and tons of other great stuff for free. Can’t complain, cause many of us benefited from it, but I can’t imagine how rich you must be to throw away those things and not think that anyone else would ever want a barely-used designer shirt or sunglasses.”

28. He never cooked anything in his life, so he thought you just throw away dishes after you eat.

“I met a kid who didn’t understand the concept of washing dishes.

Wife went back to college. New city, didn’t know anyone. Started a Movie Night thing to meet some people and build a social circle.

We provided a home cooked meal, fun movies that most people hadn’t seen, and a place to gather—went over great and had 6-12 people showing up each week to hang out and talk and eat our food. Generally good people, because she was going back to college—a lot of college kids came. All good.

I knew this one guy was from a rich family, his first night there he’s bragging to everyone who’ll listen about this 30k+ truck his parents just bought him and telling everybody how awesome he is.

After everything is done we’re collecting dishes in the kitchen and he walks over and following me to the kitchen he walks in and puts his dish and silverware in the trash can.

‘Hey man, what are you doing?’ I’m assuming he brain blanked for a second, no big deal.

‘What?’

‘Give me the dishes, don’t throw em out.’ It’s a ceramic plate, not a paper one…

‘Why?’ He asks, obviously confused.

‘… I’m going to wash it.’

‘Why?’ He repeats.

…Now I’m confused. ‘So it’ll be clean for next time?’

‘Oh! Like the dining hall. Oh. OK. Sure.’

I find out later he basically lives off take out, restaurants, etc.—he’s never cooked anything in his life, his family has servants who clean up after meals and…and he just assumed dishes were something you threw out when you were done. College was the first place where he even saw the idea of putting dishes somewhere other than the trash (or leaving them on the table) afterward.

He wasn’t a bad guy honestly, just… I was amazed something so incredibly basic had slipped by him for years.”

29. His dad pays for my friend’s rent, his uni tuition, and his car. Dude still considers himself abandoned.

“I had a friend I met through competitive gaming that I visited once for a tournament. He and all his friends went to a prep school and were now all in university; I stayed at his Uni rented house because it was before school season and there were empty rooms.

He told me he didn’t talk to his family because his father kicked him out and abandoned him. We keep drinking and he keeps explaining and it turns out his father felt like when my friend turned 18 he should leave the home (old values, understandable), so the dad pays for my friend’s rent, his uni tuition, and his car. Dude still considers himself abandoned.

My mum got me a pair of jeans for my 18th birthday. I couldn’t even imagine having all of that provided for me.”

30. He lost his shit at the idea that nobody would clean his room for him and that he had to do his own laundry.

“Classmate at university was from Qatar. Family owned large shares in a bank and was generally very deeply involved with the financial world in the Middle East. Needless to say, they were disgustingly filthy rich.

First day on campus we all decide to play soccer so he goes to his room to change. When we come back from playing we all go back to his room and when we walk in his clothes were still exactly where he threw them on the floor. He lost his shit at the idea that nobody would clean his room for him and that he had to do his own laundry.

He ended up going shopping every 2-3 weeks for really nice and expensive clothes and would throw them out after wearing them a few times because he didn’t want to do laundry. I’m talking about a Brooks Brothers button down shirt worth over $100 only being worn once or twice before ending up in the trash.

To all the people saying I should have washed it and sold it, or gone dumpster diving or whatever. I’m pretty sure a few of the people on that floor entertained that thought and probably a few did it. I had an on-campus job and was selling crafts on eBay and preferred the satisfaction of earning my own money.”

31. He had a $45k SUV at age 16 and claimed he paid for it with his own hard-earned money.

“The trust fund bitch…er, baby at my HS who had a brand-new loaded Eddie Bauer edition Explorer and claimed he paid for it with his own hard-earned money. That was a $45k SUV, no way you paid for that as a 16yo kid with no real job.

His spoiling went on in many ways and through college and beyond. Now he’s a loser who parties like he’s 19 with a job he got through daddy’s connections. He’s in his mid-thirties with a failed marriage and no friends. I hate he never had a chance but the guy is a real dick and always has been. I’m sure he will burn all his inheritance and life up, shame to see.”

32. ‘Daddy, I’m so proud of myself I only spent $500 on clothes and jewelry, aren’t you proud of me? I usually spend so much more.’

“I don’t know if she was rich or showing off or how rich or whatever but on the bus one day, I heard this from a teen girl on her cell phone—‘daddy, I’m so proud of myself I only spent $500 on clothes and jewelry, aren’t you proud of me? I usually spend so much more’ or something to that effect (amount is approximate)…everyone on the bus could hear it too…just cringeworthy.”

33. She thought the government put an unlimited credit line on your debit card.

“In the case I witnessed personally she genuinely didn’t know that a debit card was attached to a checking account. This was how the whole conversation got started.

Two girls were sitting in the computer lab together and I was sitting a few computers down from them. We will call the clueless girl Jane and we will call the girl with common sense Emily. Here is the gist of the conversation.

Jane: Lets go to the bar tonight!

Emily: I can’t tonight, broke for the rest of the week.

Jane: Just use your debit card.

Emily: I can’t I will overdraw my account.

Jane: You don’t have to get cash from an ATM, the bar will just swipe your card.

Emily: My card will get declined, I have no money in the account!

Jane: You don’t need to have money in the account to pay for things with your card, only if you want to get cash.

This college senior genuinely thought that part of college financial aid was that you could just get whatever you wanted by swiping your card. She did not understand the concept that you were using the card to pay for things. She genuinely thought that if a store accepted debit cards that meant that college kids could get whatever they needed and the store would just bill the government for it. She went on this long explanation about the only reason the store needed to swipe the card was to verify that you were actually a college student. When Emily asked if Jane’s card had ever been declined, Jane said ‘yes, that just means that the item or store was not approved by the government.’”

34. He wrecked three cars, so his parents bought him a fourth.

“There were five high schools in my district. The one I attended had the average income of above 100K per household while the other schools were close to half that. Over the course of 4 years, I can think of multiple cases of rich kid syndrome; however, this one takes the cake.

The kid was an older freshman and became one of the first students to get their learning permit. Parents immediately purchased a BMW with all of the bells and whistles. Within 4 months of having the car, the kid got multiple speeding tickets AND totaled the car. Parents bought another car (not as expensive but had numerous extra features) on their 16th birthday. Took half a year before getting into another wreck. Parents sold the car to get Another car. This car was a considerable downgrade from the previous 2 cars. This car lasted the longest before the kid got a DUI at 18 but still in high school. The parents sold the third car and sent their kid to rehab. Once the kid went to college (private school) they purchased him another car. This was last I heard from the kid.”

35. She complained that the only bright side of her birthday was that ‘my dad bought me a brand-new Jeep.’

“A girl posted about how it was the worst birthday of her life, followed up by ‘The only bright side is my dad bought me a brand-new Jeep’ and continued to complain about her terrible day.”

36. She said she ‘wouldn’t be caught dead’ in my car, so when she crashed hers, I refused to give her a ride.

“I went to a private catholic high school, so you had a lot of spoiled rich kids.
My first car was a 1994 Toyota Four Runner that mom had gotten at a police auction. It was raised, had a pretty good sound system and eventually the Antenna broke off so I stuck a coat hanger in there.

This car was ‘ghetto as fuck’ and all my friends loved it, mostly because I was one of the first people on my class who could drive.

Anyway, my friend’s girlfriend at the time, was spoiled as fuck and she was given a Mercedes Benz S -class as a birthday gift. She constantly talked shit about my car and talked about how much better her Benz was and how she ‘would never be caught dead’ in a Toyota. I just her to enjoy it while she could, because she was going to wreck her car and ‘Daddy’ wasn’t going to buy another one. Fast forward to that fateful day when she did crash her car a few miles away from school. I recognized her car so I stopped to ask if she was OK, she was fine. I told her ‘I would offer you a ride home but YOU WOULDNT BE CAUGHT DEAD in my car, now would you?’

I left her ass there, yeah, I pulled over mostly to rub it in her face. Yeah, I was petty as hell, so sue me, she shouldn’t have been such a bitch.”

37. He never studied and spent all his time making prank phone calls trying to trick people into drinking pee.

“I knew this rich fucker in school. He never studied and spent all his time making prank phone calls trying to trick people into drinking pee. Sure, it was funny once or twice, but this went on for years.”

38. He stabbed a refrigerator with a knife and shrugged it off because his dad was ‘a baller at Bank of America.’

“I went to school on an athletic scholarship at a private Catholic school. The only reason I could afford to go here was because I was on the GI Bill, yellow ribbon program, and my athletic scholarship. I only stayed there for one year, for reasons you’ll soon find out. At first it started with my teammates complaining about the food at the dining hall. Omelet bars for breakfast each morning, surf and turf every Friday, pierogi bars, grilled fresh veggies. We had actual cooks working at this place, the food was divine. But I digress. I was at a party that the captain of our team was hosting, I didn’t really know anybody yet and thought this might be a good opportunity to meet the team and maybe make some friends. It was kind of lonely being a 26-year-old freshman. Well to make a long story short, near the end of the night, said captain was trashing his own apartment (university owned apts FYI). He took a Ka-bar (a big fuckin’ knife for those of you that don’t know) and started stabbing his refrigerator. I was outside having a smoke and he asked if he could bum one. I’m a nice guy, I say yes, we make some small talk. I asked him why he did that to his refrigerator knowing full well he would be charged for it and that it wouldn’t be cheap. His exact words, ‘I’m not paying for shit. My dad, he’s a baller at Bank of America.’”

39. He spent 15k one semester on weed and prostitutes.

“One of my friends in the first semester of college comes to me and tells me, ‘Hey man we have to calm down this next semester, spent 15k on weed and prostitutes alone.’ Don’t know how much those prostitutes were but I spent around $300 in weed and we hung out most of the time. He also used his black card for the prostitutes which I thought was pretty hilarious since I’m sure his parents must have seen all the massages he got.”

40. He was kicked out of high school for attempting to bribe a physics teacher with $4,000 to give him an ‘A’ for the quarter.

“All from a Chinese exchange student at my high school:

*While preparing for a skiing trip with his host family, he bought $10k of gear including a thousand-dollar pair of googles which had a HUD in them. He left them at home.

*He wanted to get an Audi R8 but ended up settling on a Range Rover. Reason being the speed bumps on campus. It wouldn’t even matter since he lives on campus and it takes 2 minutes on a flat surface to walk form his house to school. Parking in the Junior lot would result in walking 15 minutes up hill.

*Constantly spent thousands of dollars on shoes.

*Eventually kicked out for attempting to bribe a physics teacher $4,000 to give him an ‘A’ for the quarter. Also around the same time he turned in an English paper and the teacher read it and said ‘No way you wrote this.’ Ended up being he had paid someone to write every paper up until that point.

*When he was kicked out of my school he ended up going to another nearby boarding school. His parents had cancelled his debit card after they learned of the bribery attempt. His punishment was that his allowance was reduced to measly $2500 a month + $10k to buy stuff for his new room.”

41. She threw a tantrum because the plane didn’t have three first-class seats in a row for her to lay down.

“I was on a sold-out flight back home from Vegas once. WestJet flight, so ‘every seat is first class.’ This 18-year-old princess was upset that she couldn’t have 3 seats to herself so she could lay down, so she threw a tantrum and delayed the flight for 15 minutes. She refused to sit next to anyone, so she grabbed her stuff and left to a round of applause. Then they delayed the flight more to get her bags from underneath the plane.”

42. Teenage girls would throw their Starbucks change in the garbage can because they didn’t want to carry it around.

“I used to work at a Starbucks in a very wealthy area, I’d frequently see teenage girls throw their change in the garbage can because they couldn’t be bothered with carrying it around. At least throw it in the tip jar if you don’t want it!”

43. He lived on daddy’s credit cards but taunted others for living on daddy’s credit cards.

“This might be more of a hypocrite story than just a rich kid story, but here goes. I know a kid who’s super into the punk scene in our city, but he still lives at home at his parents’ mansion, is constantly quitting jobs or getting fired because he didn’t feel like showing up (wish I could afford to do that) and recently wrecked his car and his dad gave him a new one—so the songs he writes about being so misunderstood and oppressed in our society ring pretty hollow.

Yesterday I was driving with this kid and we pass by a group a middle class looking teens. He screams, ‘how do you like your daddy’s credit cards?’ at them—out of the new car his father gave him.”

44. ‘My family only buys black Ferraris… red is tacky.’

“I went to a pretty well-to-do university so my friends were always saying crazy things. One of the craziest was, ‘My family only buys black Ferraris… red is tacky.’”
