I suppose it's dependent on how you read the article. I assumed that we were supposed to be sympathizing with these people -- although we both realized how ridiculous that would be.
- wanorris 15y agoI started off sick at my stomach at the same thing you were complaining about -- the sad story of this unfortunate woman losing her 90,000 square foot house. But it became pretty clear that while they weren't mocking her to her face (which would be mean no matter who she was), they definitely weren't expecting everyone to sympathize with the plight of the extremely wealthy. They make this point most clearly here: > Of course, the trauma of giving up a Gulfstream or a yacht can't compare with the millions of Americans who have lost their only job or home. The Siegels will make do in their current 26,000-square-foot mansion.
