The Inner Monologue

Oh, wealthy folks. Some of them are lovely, humble humans who quietly donate to charity and live in understated mansions. And then there are the others—the ones who treat money like a personality trait and their bank accounts like a moral get-out-of-jail-free card.

Let’s talk about those rich people.

The Flaunters vs. The Sane

You know the type. The ones who need you to know they’re rich. The Instagram flexers, the obnoxious luxury car revvers, the “Do you know who I am?” crowd. They’re not just wealthy—they’re performatively wealthy, and it’s exhausting.

Meanwhile, actual rich people who don’t feel the need to prove anything? They’re out there living their best lives without posting gold-plated toilet selfies. Funny how that works.

Money Can’t Buy You Morals (Apparently)

Turns out, flashing cash doesn’t just make you annoying—it might also make you worse. Studies show that people obsessed with flaunting wealth are more likely to cheat, lie, and generally act like the rules don’t apply to them. Shocking, right?

And then there are the real horror stories. The ultra-rich men who’ve fathered enough children to start a soccer league. The ones who think wealth means they can do whatever they want—including things that would make a normal person’s skin crawl. (Looking at you, certain historical figures who definitely should’ve been stopped way sooner.)

Why Do We Keep Falling for This?

Society loves a rags-to-riches story, but we really love a riches-to-ruin one. Maybe it’s schadenfreude. Maybe it’s because watching entitled billionaires crash and burn is the closest thing we have to modern gladiator fights. Either way, we keep giving these people attention, power, and—somehow—even more money.

Here’s a thought: What if we stopped worshipping people just because they’re rich? What if we admired actual virtues—like kindness, integrity, and not being a total garbage human? Wild concept, I know.

The Takeaway

Money doesn’t have to turn people into monsters. But when you combine extreme wealth with unchecked ego, a lack of accountability, and a desperate need for validation? Well… let’s just say history isn’t kind to those guys.

So next time you see someone throwing cash around like it’s confetti, ask yourself: Are they impressive… or just insufferable?

Spoiler: It’s usually the second one.

TL;DR:

Rich people who constantly show off their money are often the worst. News at 11. 💅
