realtor real-estate house home executive woman female man story 2024 wage wages market market-price over-asking asking-price sale pay money rich wealth

'I offer $55k over asking price [on a different house]': Snobby realtor loses $10,000+ on a sale after underestimating a female executive's net worth

It's 2024 and there's still a wage gap between men and women. Although bigotry in the workplace is no surprise anymore, you'd think that out in the purchasing world, money would speak louder than gender. However, in our next tale, a chauvinistic realtor shoves his foot in his mouth after assuming a woman's financial capability... And no amount of fresh-baked cookies, commission incentives, or low-interest rates could change her mind after that blunder.

'[This] family had a couch in their home's elevator': 20+ Out-of-touch rich kids who got a reality check

These kids are in for a surprising awakening after a lifetime of being sheltered. For lots of wealthy kids , money has almost no real-world meaning to them until they're out on their own. Some show up to their first days of college and wonder why their laundry isn't being magically done for them, or why they have to make their own food for each and every meal. A lot of them just don't understand the value of money. As Lucille Bluth says in Arrested Development , “I mean, it's one banana, Michae…

'[They] asked about who her shoe cobbler was': 20+ Subtle signs that you're talking to someone wealthy

Money isn't everything… no, I take that back, it is everything. Money is perhaps 80% of life. People who already have money absolutely love to tell you that “Money isn't everything.” If you're a lonesome lawyer working 90 hours per week who never sees their family, like in a Hallmark movie, than I guess that makes sense. But for most of us, who do have loving family and friends and a moral compass, having an injection of cash would make life a whole lot easier! When you have money, you can get…

Update: 'It'll cost you $1.8 million': Business owner asks financial advisor to invest money for him, then refuses to pay advisor's share

A young business analyst saw an opportunity and didn't let it slip from their grasp. If you're looking to make a lot of money fast, you can certainly try the stock market. There are no guarantees in this game---you could also end up super broke or in debt. But if you play your cards right, just like u/TheBreakUp2013 did, you could net yourself some cold hard cash. This person provided a quick update to their much-beloved story about a deal with their boss that went wrong. They write that as a b…

'The lady of the house simply will not permit it': Movers tasked with impractical sofa bed delivery, use their own contract to avoid carrying it up stairs

No one ever said moving was easy, and this customer seems determined to make it as hard as possible. That's no problem for her, because she's not doing the heavy lifting — a group of movers are. U/_korvan_ shared this great story about the time they just wanted to do their job and go home, but were stymied by a customer. Being a mover is a physically demanding job each and every day. These folks work hours each day to take people's boxes and furniture from their old house to their brand new liv…

'We're not bringing our butler on vacation': 25 Entitled and snobby people who think the world revolves around them

Entitled people just live in their own world. If you have enough money, you can live life exactly as you wish, from the moment you wake up in the morning to the minute you go to bed each night. Many wealthy people become sheltered from the realities of everyday life. After all, while it's convenient for them to have an entire team of people at your beck and call, like personal assistants, nannies, chefs, or chauffeurs, the rest of us trying our best to get by without the extra help.

'She refused to pay, and stopped answering my calls': Web designer creates website, pivots to malicious compliance after entitled owner won't pay the bill

This website designer took malicious compliance to a new level with this stunt. There's often a lack of appreciation for the arts, whether you're a painter, dancer, writer, or filmmaker. Even for this person, a web designer who created an entire website for a client, the task went unappreciated. As u/shady_emoji shared to r/MaliciousCompliance, they were a college student trying to make a few extra dollars when they accepted a gig designing a website . This client wanted her website to show off…

AITA: 'UNFAIR': Wealthy father stops bankrolling the college fund of his frivolous son, favoring his financially responsible daughter instead

AITA: 'UNFAIR': Wealthy father stops bankrolling the college fund of his frivolous son, favoring his financially responsible daughter instead

If you've ever heard the tale of the prodigal son, you know that father's love their children no matter how financially irresponsible they are, but in reality, how far does that love go? Now, when you come from a rich family, that love is (unfortunately) quantifiable in the form of crisp dolla dolla bills. For some reason, rich children feel that they're entitled to the entirety of their parent's fortunes and don't ever realize the value.

AITA For Refusing To Venmo My Friend For Pizza & Possibly Ending The Entire Friendship Over It?

'I’m poor and you're rich': Moocher refuses to let BFF have slice of pizza she 'didn't pay for'

The cost of a friendship should ideally be more than the cost of a pizza pie. For this woman, it represented the final straw in her relationship with a formerly close friend. Friendships can end in all sorts of ways. Sometimes one person moves, or you go in different directions in life that make your friendship incompatible. For this OP, u/InteractionFirst5109, she and her BFF Dawn had a falling out for financial reasons . She writes that she and Dawn both work full time, though the OP has a hi…

"He made me go out and buy him a new pair of underwear because he said his were 'unlucky'": 25+ People share the craziest things their millionaire bosses spent money on

If you've ever worked for someone extra rich , which of their spending habits caused you to raise your eyebrows? People who have done just that gave us their input, and the answers are actually not what I expected. Apparently, lots of wealthy folks are so tight-fisted with their money that they almost live like they have no money . One person shared that even though their father is pretty wealthy, he never washes his clothes. Instead, he apparently just wears them a few times, then tosses them…

15 Egregious 'out of touch' comments people witnessed from the obscenely wealthy

Some people are born without common sense but an obscene amount of wealth. At the end of the day, we are only human and, as such, are direct products of the environments in which we were raised. Whether or not you have common sense, if you've never had to pay for, say —a sandwich — in your entire life; then you're not going to have any life experiences, or even a frame of reference, for what a sandwich costs when you finally do need to pay for one. This seems absurd to the rest of us, but it's…
