Interesting musings, but unfortunately for the author, they're not related to reality. Not only is there no such thing as a "no obnoxious rich people paradox," but the English language has had a special term to describe just one subset of the obnoxious rich for over 200 years: nouveau riche. Likely the French have been sensitive to the concept for even longer: Molière's "Le Bourgeois gentilhomme" was written in 1670. For at least that long, rich people have not been free to do whatever they wanted. In fact, it's the rich themselves who policed "refined" behavior and codified it in the concept of manners.
