The best antidote for all-me-fuck-you new money is being an owner and employee of a company with your family name on it.

You don't want to associate your name with being cheapskate assholes do you?
>>
Being rich amplifies your personality, so it can make you a big asshole or a pretty cool person, just depends on you.


The problem is the following: being born into a rich family usually means you are raised spoiled which does not have a good impact on your personality, so you are more likely to come out of it an asshole.

If you have parents that love you and keep you grounded, you can grow up to be a great human being that contributes a great deal to society and helps many other human beings out that didn't get such a fortunate start in life as you.


I have a friend of mine who is extremely wealthy, he comes from generations of wealth and he helped me pay off my student loans on my engineering degree. We knew each other at university and I was a friend of his, two people from completely different worlds but I treated him like an equal and didn't even know he was super rich until he cut me a check for 20k. He drove a beat up honda and wore normal clothes, nothing fancy even had a really old smartphone.

Dude is a cool guy and I still hang out with him but we never do things big, his whole life is modest even though he has a fortune at his disposal.

Funny story, I took him shooting with me on some land my uncle owns, took him out and we shot my guns, a shotgun, a 10/22, an AR, and an AK47.

Fast forward half a year. He invites me to a piece of undeveloped land his family owns.

Dude bought a .50BMG as his first gun, haha it was insane but fun.

Depends on how tey gained their fortune in the first place.
If you start from below then become rich it's unlikely that you're going to be an asshole.

Children of rich people are usually assholes though, because their parents never taught them the value of hard work.

Trump is the only rich person I know who doesn't have degenerate, self-centered children.

Well, it kinda does, but not intentionally.

See, when you're rich, everybody wants to be your friend.

Why would everybody want to be your friend?

Are they really your friend?

In Greece the richest folks are the shipowners. Usually normal ones they have around 5+ ships (although there are some with 10, 20 etc), each one worth min 20-25 million. Due to my schooling i knew the children of many of them. Depending on their parents and how old the money is in the family they act from wasting degenerates to proper people who's name is not know to the public. The most notable families are very disclosed and strict about that

Ex-private banker here.

I've seen all kinds of richfags.

Some are real chill dudes, some have the "don't give a fuck" spirit, and a some are real assholes. Assholes are usually people who don't run companies (trust fund babbies) or badly educated heirs.

Bro tier is aristocratic richfags, they are funny and self-aware about how they don't matter anymore.

Self-made are hit or miss. They are usually cool dudes but half of them gets severely wrecked by their family life. Some of them have a very loyal wife (usually when they get married into a rich and educated wife, or when they got married before theygot rich) and children, doing their best to provide the best education possible for their children, and the other half has no fucking idea how to educate their children.
The latter is usually the uneducated but hard-working and always forgiving dude, married to a batshit insane woman (who probably looked good when she was 25), and their children are retarded and uneducated too, despite sending them to private schools. Mother doesn't give a single fuck about education, father is always forgiving, and here you get young assholes.

All good, can't blame me for asking though

What's your opinion on the poor or people who have to worry about bills and daily life? Ever had to go through that or have you been personally set from day one?

I am sure being that rich frees you from constraint and lets you do whatever you want within reason
>>
>>73078902
No. Money is a magnifier. If you were an asshole before, you'll look like an even bigger one now with money.

If you were a kind soul before, your kindness will be even more noticeable than it was before.

>>73078902
Not in itself.

Flaunting wealth makes you a tacky asshole.

People forget that the rich aristocrats used to have a responsibility as examples for society. They were to be impeccable in all aspects of their lives. They were the rocks that composed the foundation of culture and politics. They were scrutinized and held to higher standards in every way.

The modern new rich, like the oil Arabs and the children of Silicon Valley programmers, are vermin. Being rich happened to them. They are commoners with bank accounts. Soon it will all be gone and they will be left with memories of the things they purchased.
>>
There's a difference between new and old wealth

This bitch is obviously one of those newly wealthy

This crap didn't happen under feudalism
>>
>>73078902
It's not inherent but it does often come with the territory. A lot of wealthy people look down on those who aren't as if there's something wrong with them or they are lesser beings. So because of this they often tend to become dicks.

But...

Self made rich men are more often pretty chill and don't let it get to them. In reality it's more often those born into wealth that end up being insufferable cunts.

I've known relatively poor days as a student haha. I don't quite feel anything towards people who struggle with bills. I don't hate or love them. I'm always baffled with how quickly poor people replace their tv with the very newest model just to impress neigbors.

Not necessary. As long as you are down to earth and cool to be around you can have all the money in the world and not be an asshole.
