There are some people in this mad world that fail to maintain their grasp on common sense, decency, generally accepted human behavior due to obscene amounts of riches. It's a shame. It'd sure be nice if money had the opposite effect on people, but there seems to be something hardwired into the literal DNA of money that reacts with human beings to such an extent, that the general response upon receiving big amounts of money is to simply want more. Or, just to act like a complete senseless animal. Maybe these people's stories about the most out of touch things they overheard from rich people will ring some bells for folks.

There are a few crucial points when regular folks get access to the conversations of the obscenely wealthy. People like chauffeurs, golf caddies and caterers get to enjoy the wild, out-of-touch and interesting things these people have to say. It's a complete shock to see someone do something like spend 30 thousand dollars on flowers, which is why tales like these absurdly expensive things people witnessed and cases of out-of-touch wealthy people are as frustrating as they are a circus-like spectacle.

After a certain point, price doesn't denote quality or value as much as it just becomes the principle of buying an outrageously overpriced thing. Does a 30,000 dollar melon taste 29,995 dollars better than a 5 dollar melon? We don't know, we haven't tried one. But probably not. For out of touch rich people, spending money seems to become a sort of game, and for any reasonable bystander it's a jaw-dropping game to watch.
Money doesn't necessarily make a person intolerable to be around, but it can definitely give their kids a psychopathically ignorant sense of entitlement. Here are some more times the real world hit a spoiled rich kid. Nothing makes regular people angry quite like the antics of spoiled rich kid syndrome.
