"They have more money than you and this is what they do."



They livin' de life?

Great style in a lot of the guys on there, though a few dudes look gay.
When you have this type of access, your "game" is probably completely different to the average guy's nightclub grind.

*money vs game debate/ hating alert*

Lol has anybody on RVF been to a place that charges this much?

Not hatin', but I wonder why it's considered "baller" to go to a place where they overcharge you for the exact same booze.

$42 for a 6 pack of water. Jesus Christ. Even if I had the absurd amount of money required for that buying water that expensive would just be American psycho level status whoring.

The only thing I envy is the freedom that amount of money would provide.

no lies, I jelly.

Instagram is a tool for people without talent to showcase their "artsy" self or special middle class achievements.

Look, I got a close up of A) a flower with dew on its petals B) my kid showing his first tooth C) us partying in bad lighting and applied a sepia filter, aren't I deep and multifaceted!?

[Samseau]

These kids need to brag over the internet because of how lonely they are. Without validation, they're nothing.

[MikeCF]

I love that site.

It shows how moronic right wingers are.

"Lower taxes!

"Don't punish success!"

"We need to protect the job creators!"

Those are the people right wing hacks are protecting.

Sorta makes "conservatives" look silly, no?

They are living the life.

Most of us will have to choose between time and money.

Wall Street guys make a lot of money, but they don't have much free time. (If you're in shape past 35 and get a tan, you're viewed as not being committed enough to the job.)

Or you have free time but don't earn much money. Other than Tim Ferris and a few guys who win the 4 Hour Workweek lottery, no guy will have lots of time and money.

We'll always have to balance hustling for money with finding the time to enjoy the money.

Rich kids have unlimited money and all the time in the world to enjoy the pleasures money brings.

The downside IMO, from my limited experience with rich kids, is that their personalities suffer from growing up with everything handed to them. Maybe it's because I come from a lower-middle class family, but rich kids usually come off as whiny little bitches with weak personalities to me. They are soft.

If you grow up the son/daughter of a rich lawyer, doctor, businessman, etc. there is a good chance your family has been well off for several generations. That means many generations of working extremely long hours for money, not for pleasure, has been driven into you and your families heads. Thinking that a multimillion dollar home, Mercedes and Tiffany earrings are the keys to happiness. The "American dream".

It would be nice to have a bunch of money at your disposal and not have to work your ass off for it, but I wouldn't want to be anything like the large majority of rich kids I knew/know.

Of course, I'm white trash, so what do I know?

[R Smoov]

Well. Although their rich kids. One thing that interests me is not their lifestyle, but the way they have so many followers and people buzzing their page up with notes and shit.

I may not be able to get their father's level of money really fast, but that ability to make a instagram page which has a lot of buzz/haters is something I'd love to learn. And their photoshop skills.

Other than that, they hype as shit.

They are soft and have problems like everyone else. Didn't some Rothchild kid have his girl leave him for a rapper?

So they have some of the same problems as everyone else.

But none of the money problems.

And enough money to buy off problems that would affect us. E.g., never commit a crime with a rich kid. He will skate while you go to jail.

A 50 year old multi-millionaire doesn't need to worry about game. He can marry a gold digger, buy prostitutes (Elliot Spitzer), etc.

Being rich really is where it's at.

[Blackhawk]

They're all trust fund adults living in Daddy's successful shadow they'll never match. For extreme cases, it's a multi-generational long shadow. To say they have self esteem issues would be mild. August 2012 Town and Country has the latest generation of Vanderbilts. He fucks up everything he tries at. Finally gets a job in a zoo selling ice cream bars to kids. Takes him years to discover anything of worth in himself.

Inner game is about improving yourself. We talk about weight lifting. Reading books. Learning new languages. Building new skills. Leveling up yourself higher and higher, building true value within yourself.

Trust fund adults are like a balloon: Overinflated, thin skinned, brightly colored outside, hollow and valueless inside.

They're weak, gutless sitabouts that never worked or sweated a day in their life. The reality is their only game is "Look at how much money my Daddy gave me for sucking up to him" game. Every trophy is from their parent's pocket book, not theirs. And every possession they have is tainted with the sucking up and prostrating they had to do to get it.

The problem with heiresses is not getting drawn into their fucked up family politics, which are all about deference and control. Being a self-made man threatens their family power structure because everyone always shows deference to who controls the purse strings. And the purse strings controller gets scared over how can they control you if they can't buy you.

Exactly. Nothing ballin about being gouged for fuking water and Grey Goose. IF I had that kind of cash I would just throw mad parties and let everybody have a good time. The respect and women would come back your way ten fold.

The irony that a 2$ bottle of Gatorade and some Mcdees for 7 bucks is what this douche probably ate after to quell his hangover.

[Cookie]

And I get pissed when it's 3 dollars for water at a club.
Also isn't Grey Goose like 30 or so dollars a bottle for us commoners?
I remember buying GG, Henny, and Patron (at a grocery store, not a club) for like $75 total.

I'm also going to guess that the club would be impossible as fuck to pull from. The only single girls there are going to be prostitutes/gold diggers and your going to have to out spend every other dude in there just to get some attention.

[speakeasy]

This thread confirms that I made a good decision deleting Instagram off my phone a few days ago.

[UgSlayer]

I only have a vague idea of what instagram is

Damn dude a bottle of the worst vodka here in Canada is $30.

What the fuck. I bought a huge bottle of Taaka vodka for $11 yesterday.

Once you hit a certain amount of money (I have no idea what it is, nor will I ever know) it's not about the cost of things. It's more about where you are seen and who you are seen with. What's the point of having status if you aren't going to flaunt it?

People will always want to emulate those who "have it all" and live vicariously through others. Why do you think celebrities are such a phenomenon, especially here in the states? Some of them might even think they have a chance to get in on it.

There's a classy way to flaunt your money, and these kids are clueless to it. But there's no reason to be bitter, I feel sorry for these kids because they will probably squander everything, never knowing what true hard work and accomplishment is... they'll take life for granted and die early because of something stupid like an OD or drug interaction.

Maybe I'm missing the point of this thread, but I'm thinking about how I can bang (definitely raw-dog) some of these broads. I've fucked some chicks with money, but I don't think ones that run up $15,000 tabs, maybe $350, max, and certainly not when I'm sitting at the table.

I'm PDF-ing that shit. Will report back in a few months.

Dating rich girls is fun. I was in a LTR with a girl whose grandfather is consistently on forbes midas list and started up one of the largest microprocessor companies in existence (you probably have their CPU in your laptop right now). It was fun to rub shoulders with the 1%. She flew me to Cali, wanted to fly me to Hong Kong, lived in her sick pad, and paid for my weed. Never had to pay for SHIT.

She wasn't a socialite party slut. Actually one of the sweetest girls I ever dated and didn't even touch drugs until she smoked weed with me.

Yeah I understand the whole social circle get famous aspect. But I don't get the point of it, it just ends up becoming a huge pissing match of who has/knows more.
I have a feeling that if I had that kind of money I'd still be as reclusive, misanthropic, and nomadic as I am now. Only I'd do it while wearing gold plated pants.

@Western Cancer - That's pricey as hell. Average quality stuff here will only run you 10 - 20 bucks, and it's really easy to throw a party where 25 or so people get drunk off 50 dollars worth bottles.
