There's an amazing documentary titled "queen of Versailles" about a nouveau-riche family in Florida. The family goes to Walmart all the time and they have like 20 games of Monopoly, each kid has 10 bicycles they never ride, it's surprising but rich people also just buy a bunch of crap.
- toephu2 8y agoI don't think it would be a fair assumption that rich people buy a bunch of crap just because you saw one rich family doing it in a documentary.
