@@Abashed_Sticker3w As a former rich kid and now a 34-year old new mom sometimes I resent my parents for not teaching me life skills. I learned how to wash my own undies when I was 31. My then bf (now husband) and I just moved in together and he had the surprise of his life when he learned he is dating someone who doesn't know how to clean a house, do laundry, tie a knot, etc... because I didn't have to learn any of it because the maids can do it. He was raised poor, and sometimes he'd be really honest and say things like I'd never survive the real world the way I was back then. He slowly taught me a lot of things, but most of it started learning by myself because he'd give me "frustrated" looks when I do stuff around the house and he sees I'm not doing it properly. As a new mom I'd go to my husband's parents for advice about how to take care of a baby. My MIL had 6 kids she raised herself. I just learned my own parents have no idea how to mix formula or change diapers. They hired nurses and nannies for that.
Rich kids are so boring, they all buy the same crap, go to the same places, and have undeserved entitlement. The only envy I have is the ability to pay off debt in real time, outside of that, their lives are so depressing and filled with so little wonder.
They’re prodigies because the parents have the money to invest in their talent full throttle. You know how many amazing artists are out there that we will never see because they can’t afford the same level of promotion as a nepo baby?

You're definitely right. I work for a telecommunications company and sometimes I have to call customers and reschedule jobs because the tech couldn't come out and I kid you not that there were customers who were upset that their repair for the internet could not be done because the technician's car broke down so he couldn't make it to their house (because heaven forbid you will die without having Wi-Fi for 2 days) or they were angry because the tech couldn't complete their installation because it was RAINING and he had to go up on the pole where there is ELECTRICAL equipment. I guess he should be willing to die just so that they can have same day wi-fi installation.
@@Rei-xq3zm I just don’t understand the point of such satire. It’s not funny and it just normalises such views. I also think that it is satire, at least I hope so.
Well, it is not hard to get money for most rich people - most rich people are rich because their parents were, and those who are self-made often base their wealth on exploitation.
I can't even imagine how much of a positive impact they could make if they had empathy. They could help a GoFundMe reach its goal without any significant losses, hell, think of all those they could help with little to no ramification. Refugees, people with medical debt, abused animals. A shelter could live off of one generous donation for weeks if not months. Someone's mom could afford cancer treatment. I can't think of a world in which I'd prefer making meaningless and costly purchases to helping living beings in need.
I'm only seeing rich kids doing performative activism. They post stuff and everything but that's the thing-posting stuff doesn't change anything! You have the actual thing that can help someone -money !!! Use them if you care that much
Even in a selfish way, what do these kids want more than material goods? Eyes! On them! imagine how many eyes would be on them if they posted that they just put a thousand dollars in saving refugees? but they would probs complain about helping poor people instead
@@Angelssiq It's also because there's a dire lack of community, not to mention children grow up in the virtual online world and it warps their brains to be more like cluster b where they confuse the fantasy world of social media and reality
My dad once dated a super rich girl in collage (in the 80s-ish) and she was genuinely surprised that not everyone had a big house or a house at all, not everyone had her lifestyle or her money. You'd think that with the internet rich kids would be more aware of things but apparently not??? it really feels like satire there's no way they're so oblivious
I'm in a small engineering school. It's apprenctiseship so there's social mixity but it's still an engineering school. One of the kids is filthy rich (like, didn't know how much his parents earn but knows all the tax évasion techniques). Once he was surprised that not everyone goes skiing. Like "it doesn't cost that much, especially if you already own your skis". OFC he also believes in meritocracy.
They’re not oblivious. You’re beneath them. This is their way of reminding you. You give the benefit of the doubt when you don’t understand what is actually being said…
The internet and social media is super helpful for connecting people now. The accompanying filters and sorting to "show you more content you want to engage in only" doesn't help broaden a lot of people's views anymore like the early internet allowed for. Basically, bubbles can exist in life and online too easily at minimal fault so I don't find it too surprising.
I just feel disgusted by these people (parents) who raise broken people. I never wanted to have that amount of money because no one needs to be that rich.
I would LOVE to have that level of money....net worth of $50-60 million? Yes please!! Because for me personally, I would be outrageously and quietly generous. I could literally be a multi-millionaire and live in a nice middle income-upper middle income home with a pool while driving my same car I'm driving now while secretly paying for people's cancer treatments, leaving large donations for missionary organizations, giving to my church, buying groceries and paying rents for people in genuine need. No need for the mansions, lambos and outrageously priced clothing. I would also have to travel the world as well :D
imo the richest kids are the ones with the most loving families. a poor family that loves and cares for each other unconditionally is way richer than an ignorant dad and kids with an allowance
@@Luna-Lovegood I grew up in a middle to upper middle class family, but if I had gone on TikTok as a kid (if it existed back in the 70s and 80s), and bragged about the stuff I got for Christmas, my parents would have freaked out.
I'm glad I had to endure 7-day annual December trips on a cheap-looking island with my family for many years. Had I missed out on those trips, I think I would've ended up pretty entitled.
Where are their parents??? I didn't grow that rich but pretty comfortable. Had a babysitter, had a maid, and had a driver growing up, but that doesn't mean my parents don't parent. My mum made me go with her to the traditional market and learn how to prep my own food. How to clean up after myself. Grandma taught me how to cook, sew, crochet. The driver taught me how to drive, how to fix my scooter and bike. Being gifted luxury goods and trips abroad is a privilege, not entitlement.
@@andpeg I suppose, but it wasn't a personal driver who was at our beck and call 247. He would only drop me to and from school or after school classes.
@@VictorH-27 Still kinda costly speaking from a low income family, in my country there is such service and only the wealthy family rents such drivers and pay monthly, having enough money to pay them monthly is well-off, doesn't need to be a personal driver. But yeah no hate, just speaking from my pov, glad you get chances to live comfortably with good parents, hats off to them. Low income + low EQ parents is a nightmare comboo tbh so I'm glad to hear parents who can afford things, also afford to parent their children right lol
@@andpeg I mean it depends on the country. Some have less strict work regulations than others making it possible for a middle class family to hire a maid, a baby sitter, and a driver. Though even then, from my personal experience, hiring all of them simultaneously would be pretty expensive.
I also think many of these supposed "rich kids" tt and reels are also done ... on purpose, like all the angry comments and engagement also earn them more money either way. I personally skip over those cuz they're stupid, plainly put but it's no doubt they're getting lots of attention that way. Edit: can i also add that many of those staged rich kids videos are cringy as hell ? It pains me
I have an IPhone that I got from my dad (he got the new iPhone 14 and I got his old X, he even bought my sister a new SE because she destroyed my old SE that she got handed down to her. My X is first gen (i think) so it doesn’t have 0.5 and I’d really like a new phone soon because my phone consistently has no storage, and the battery is really messed up and glitches (and I have a feeling it’ll die soon) but I feel bad even asking for just that. My first phone was a flip phone, my first iPhone was a iPhone 5s. These kids don’t take good care of their phones because to them they don’t have real worth, my sister being an example of that, she does not take good care of her phone despite the fact hers is brand new (from Christmas). Hers is already shattered on the screen practically, but my phone isn’t cracked at all just old. It’s bullshit tbh
i dont like rich people, especially when they try to teach you how being poor is a choice. if i die, i couldnt afford a funeral, AND I AM NOT CHOOSING THAT
Agreed like I hate it when rich people say you’re poor because of Netflix and Starbucks. Because ah yes, the $9/mo I spend on Netflix and maybe $25/mo I spend on Starbucks are the problem, not that filling my gas tank costs $55 and my rent is $1500/mo
My whole life i've never been jelous of rich kids because somehow or other they always fuck their life up. Meanwhile me, having average ass life can TRY to fuck up and its like the universe is on my side somehow.
Feel like this doesn’t really talk about that fact that a lot of rich kid content is rage bait content and that it’s kind of messed up for parents (particularly for younger kids) to make their kids the bait to inspire angry comments and engagement.
Hahahah if those kids had to work for that money they wouldn't be puffed up. My parents are middle class, and they always raised me and my siblings with a "you want that toy, you have to earn your own money to buy it" mentality (which has led me to appriacte money since a young age). And now as a teen, I have my own part time job (because I'm still in school, if not I'd have a full time job lol) and am starting to save up to go to secondary education or get a car（probably a used Toyota). My parents never gave me money if I didn't work for it, and I'm all the better for that. . Edit: the "kids" that I mention are in the age group of 8-10-18 year olds, not little toddlers or smth. When we were younger (around 4-8) we'd help our mom with small tasks like matching socks and folding towls and picking up our toys (which I actually found fun lol).
You had a good upbringing. I have earned money from my family since childhood, but I always saved it and then started investing. I never felt like this money was really mine, so whenever I spent it I spent it very carefully, on durable things that I would use a lot or were very necessary. Today I'm an architect, I work, but they still give me money and the accumulated money remains invested there. From an early age I think about accumulating resources, investments, assets, to retire in the future. I think that if the person is well educated (which these children clearly weren't), even if they have access to money they will have common sense, they won't be an empty pot like these tiktokers
I’m 27 and was raised during the recession. I was raised very similarly. If there was something that I really wanted and my parents approved of it, we’d bargain for it to be a reward for something big. I remember wanting Animal Crossing Wild World for my ds lite and that was a reward for finishing 6th grade with all As. By way of a college fund, my mom bought a savings bond each year from my birth for me to cash when I got into college.
I agree and disagree, on one hand I do think it’s good and very logical to teach kids the importance of money and that you need to be aware of how much you have and whether it’s reasonable to spend it on this thing or maybe save it up for something better that they may want You know, I get that, I really do But I also believe in kids being kids? I don’t believe kids should ALWAYS being doing chores or pushing themselves into a breakdown trying to keep their grades up in school just for the slim promise they may get what they want For teens? Definitely For kids? Eeehhhhh, it depends on the level of chores or expectations ur putting on them to earn their buck Small chores yes, but if you’re having ur 8 year old scrubbing all ur walls and floors over a dollar store toy then I’m pretty sure that’s just child labour and I don’t agree with that I also don’t agree with parents who make these terms just to make it easier to pawn chores onto their kids I resented my mom for the fact that it seemed like since I could walk and move I was forced to do chores that she just didn’t want to do, and lmao I wasn’t even paid or given toys for it, just chores 😭
I really hope you mean college as a secondary education not actual SECONDARY SCHOOL. I kinda disagree with your parents parenting, kids shouldn't have to be working a job or jobs just to be able to go to school.(I think they should be working jobs to learn responsibility and the value of money) They should be living like kids doing dumb things and hanging out with friends. It really should be the parents job to secure a future for their children. Not the kids themselves. Don't have kids if you can't afford them.
I used to be a rich kid, my mother did everything for us kids and we got everything we wanted. Now I live on my own and realize how much effort I have to put into simple things like cooking, working or even cleaning.💀
as an upper class teenager, if i ever EVER pull out the audacity to complain about someone not cleaning my house because their arm is broken literally slap me into oblivion
Whose fault is it? The parents. 100%. My classmates and friends growing up were VERY wealthy. Lots of old money but most were not entitled and detached like what you see on tiktok. Granted, old money and new money does make a difference in family attitudes but that said, I grew up watching my friends’ parents and my own parents snip bratty behavior at the bud. Some of the wealthiest people I know personally are very kind and down to earth and aware of their privilege. It’s not hard for parents to make their kids aware of their privilege and explain to them how there is so much poverty out there. It’s not hard to not spoil kids rotten. In the same way though, many many are completely delusional. It all comes down to parenting.
My family is pretty wealthy, closer to the rich area. However, I’m humble. Heck, we don’t have a mansion. We have a 3 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms. (Our city always has 2 baths btw) We have pets to take care of, too. My mom and dad both own a business. I’m very lucky and I realize that. Even though I’m set with money, I still understand how hard it is to become financially stable. I’m not a part of the American river yet, but I know what happens.
As annoying as those rich kids are, I do sorta pity them in a way They pretty much grow up with their self worth having to be connected how much money they spend and many things they have.
Zoe, thank you for your videos. You take an accelerated society and slow it down to understand what is really going down between your scrolling. I always learn with you, and get out with a new perspective to understand how media is changing our lives. Thank you
This was a great video, it’s so rare to see people not just shitting on rich people & actually empathising with the struggles they have in their own life, although they may be different to our own. I think because culture portrays material wealth as the key to happiness we just undermine any struggles they experience because we figure ‘they must be happy because they’re so rich’, whilst ignoring that there is so much more that goes into having a joyful life.
I honestly thought this was gonna be a video on kids and teens not being taught life skills and going into adulthood struggling in a horrible economy. I hope these rich kids get a proper humbling holy shit
Makes sense about it being about the lack of parenting combined with excess money. I recently asked a friend what he’d do if he won the lottery and both our answers were donate most of it first, help family, and pay for college. No hoarding or increasing it. I at least am uncomfortable at the thought of having so much money while people suffer. The economy sucks right now.
'The millionaire's daughter' girl is actually not that spoiled and she's quite polite. Yes, she flaunts her luxury products but part of the reason is to promote her family's business which sells designer products too.
For the housekeeper one I really wanted to reply to her that if the housekeeper can clean with only one hand then she can clean with her both hands still intact
The last part honestly makes me sad for the next generation of kids born to wealth. With parents who were taught to show love thorugh money and money only, this cycle will never break.
There's saying here in ph, "maingay ang lata pag walang laman" that roughly translates to "a can is loud when it has nothing inside" I'll leave it to u guys to understand wahahaja
It is very frustrating working with people who have been overindulged and don’t know that what they want ISN’T the most important thing at an organization. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
a kid in private school cried because he had never been to the airport business lounge like other kids... because he only flew private jets since day he was born.
Ik the clip is old but can we talk about how Kylie (or Kendall honestly dk the difference) poured those drinks like shes never held a bottle before. She definitely hasnt.
It depends on how rich. Big wealth gaps in society are problematic. I would say it is okay to be wealthy, but someone being super rich and other being super poor is not fine.
i actually just saw something similar to the topic of this video! it was a girl talking about how yes, she was given a lot of stuff growing up bc her parents were successful, and that wealthy children don’t care about what other people think bc their parents loved them and gave them a lot of stuff growing up. and all i could think about was how it’s not a bad thing to come from successful parents, but that i feel like children from successful families won’t be successful themselves in adulthood bc they’ve never had to truly work for what they want. they’ve never had to work for themselves, and have never felt the satisfaction of being able to get something for yourself from your own success. they’ve been handed everything they could ever want in life, and now going into adulthood they don’t know how to function without mom or dad holding their hands the entire way through life, even as an adult.
I love your videos and your way of explaining and analysing things with irony and precision!! I've been a proud subscriber for quite some time now and your channel is one of my favorites 🤗
My ex back in the day had a rich best friend who got kicked out of his parents house for abusing drugs and getting bad grades at an ivy league his parents paid for, so he flew across the country to live with us, mind you we lived in a super poor area snd were struggling ourselves and the entitlement he had was unreal. I also watched first hand that most problems go away of you just throw money at it
I grew up as a rich kid with other rich kids, and I made fun of the kids who flaunted their money with fancy, useless stuff. But at the same time, there was stuff I didn't realize wasn't common until I went to public school...Like how it never occured to me not everyone has a washer and dryer, or even a laundry room. 😅
Must be nice! I went to the university twice. Earned 2 different Bachelors degrees. Currently work a decent paying job in tech. I have to wake up at 3am to make it to work at 5am. Rich kids are the worst.
if you don't like your job just quit it and get a new job. Also if it's a travel thing see if your company has a remote/hybird positions or start applying to other things you may like to do. Stop being jealous n weird
the leather jacket at 10:18 is banger tho. this is literally a vid about super rich ppl so I assume I'll never be able to afford it but hey leather working seems like a cool skill, maybe I can try to learn to make stuff like that. honestly, if I was suddenly super rich, I think that's what I'd do- snag a bunch of cool classes with professionals in all the things I wanted to be able to do.
As a poor person who uses her iPhone until it literally stops working, that bit with all the broken phones about gave me a heart attack. 😰 I actually got a text from the phone company two days ago saying I'm good for a free upgrade. I looked at my phone with three scratches on the screen and thought, nah, it still works, it's still good.
as a poor person, no one ever taught me how to clean too and i had to figure it out on my own rich kids are REEEEALLYYYY comfortable in their own skin, maybe a week with no cleaning would make them start cleaning, that or living in dirt lol
I'm 20 years old and so far I consider having more than 200 dollars a huge amount of money, how spoiled these kids are to think that a thousand dollars are nothing? How I wish I had a life like this but to let my parents and all of my family rest, buy things we need, pay off debts and fulfill their wishes! I hope that the people in the video at some point open their eyes and realize that the money isn't even theirs... but I know that's not going to happen because they're hollow people and until they're directly affected they're not going to learn the value of money.
Do you think having money as a kid is a blessing or a curse?
I think it depends on how much you get. But these kids on Tiktok were spoiled. Btw I love you videos 💕✨
Curse, money can buy a lot of great things, but not the appreciation for life
Ig it all comes down to whether or not u remain down to earth
The rich kids of tik tok are poor of brain cells.
Personally, I think it’s a good idea, but it depends on the amount and the person receiving it
If the kid is immature enough, he will be more responsible and
spare some for later
As a person receiving money every week I think it has been the best thing because I can buy little things that can change a person day ❤

Considering how isolated they are from others yet super connected to the bad things that happen in this world it’s not surprising
Well hey now not all of us suck
"Money only amplifies who you are as a person." that's gold, right there
Dolly Parton and Keanu Reeves are examples of this.
just when she said hat i read that comment, at the same time
My dad once dated a super rich girl in collage (in the 80s-ish) and she was genuinely surprised that not everyone had a big house or a house at all, not everyone had her lifestyle or her money. You'd think that with the internet rich kids would be more aware of things but apparently not??? it really feels like satire there's no way they're so oblivious
I'm in a small engineering school. It's apprenctiseship so there's social mixity but it's still an engineering school. One of the kids is filthy rich (like, didn't know how much his parents earn but knows all the tax évasion techniques). Once he was surprised that not everyone goes skiing. Like "it doesn't cost that much, especially if you already own your skis". OFC he also believes in meritocracy.
They’re not oblivious. You’re beneath them. This is their way of reminding you. You give the benefit of the doubt when you don’t understand what is actually being said…
The internet and social media is super helpful for connecting people now. The accompanying filters and sorting to "show you more content you want to engage in only" doesn't help broaden a lot of people's views anymore like the early internet allowed for. Basically, bubbles can exist in life and online too easily at minimal fault so I don't find it too surprising.
I just feel disgusted by these people (parents) who raise broken people. I never wanted to have that amount of money because no one needs to be that rich.
I would LOVE to have that level of money....net worth of $50-60 million? Yes please!! Because for me personally, I would be outrageously and quietly generous. I could literally be a multi-millionaire and live in a nice middle income-upper middle income home with a pool while driving my same car I'm driving now while secretly paying for people's cancer treatments, leaving large donations for missionary organizations, giving to my church, buying groceries and paying rents for people in genuine need. No need for the mansions, lambos and outrageously priced clothing. I would also have to travel the world as well :D
imo the richest kids are the ones with the most loving families. a poor family that loves and cares for each other unconditionally is way richer than an ignorant dad and kids with an allowance
Yes especially families with morally strong fathers and mothers
even my parents are relatively wealthy and this video still made me feel inferior to the rich kids 😂
lmao same, like my parents are upper middle class but i couldn't imagine ever having so much money to waste
@@Luna-Lovegood I grew up in a middle to upper middle class family, but if I had gone on TikTok as a kid (if it existed back in the 70s and 80s), and bragged about the stuff I got for Christmas, my parents would have freaked out.
I'm glad I had to endure 7-day annual December trips on a cheap-looking island with my family for many years. Had I missed out on those trips, I think I would've ended up pretty entitled.

This video called me poor in every single language
Where are this child's parents????!!
Fr
You are not poor if you have people who loves you, clothes, wi fi, food and room for sleeping.
Where are their parents???
I didn't grow that rich but pretty comfortable. Had a babysitter, had a maid, and had a driver growing up, but that doesn't mean my parents don't parent. My mum made me go with her to the traditional market and learn how to prep my own food. How to clean up after myself. Grandma taught me how to cook, sew, crochet. The driver taught me how to drive, how to fix my scooter and bike. Being gifted luxury goods and trips abroad is a privilege, not entitlement.
Having a driver is rich 😅
@@andpeg I suppose, but it wasn't a personal driver who was at our beck and call 247. He would only drop me to and from school or after school classes.
Damn, low-key making your parents my parenting goals
@@VictorH-27 Still kinda costly speaking from a low income family, in my country there is such service and only the wealthy family rents such drivers and pay monthly, having enough money to pay them monthly is well-off, doesn't need to be a personal driver. But yeah no hate, just speaking from my pov, glad you get chances to live comfortably with good parents, hats off to them.
Low income + low EQ parents is a nightmare comboo tbh so I'm glad to hear parents who can afford things, also afford to parent their children right lol
@@andpeg I mean it depends on the country. Some have less strict work regulations than others making it possible for a middle class family to hire a maid, a baby sitter, and a driver. Though even then, from my personal experience, hiring all of them simultaneously would be pretty expensive.
I've never felt so happier to be a middle class young lady
Ya. I'm also grateful to have the things I have now
I don’t hate people for being born into money, but I hate people who think they’re better than others because of the money they were born into
I also think many of these supposed "rich kids" tt and reels are also done ... on purpose, like all the angry comments and engagement also earn them more money either way. I personally skip over those cuz they're stupid, plainly put but it's no doubt they're getting lots of attention that way.
Edit: can i also add that many of those staged rich kids videos are cringy as hell ? It pains me
oh how i love being a minimalist with my simple life
Ok but the roller blading room in their house was soooo pretty. Like that’s such a cool way to get good at it. It must be so enjoyable
i love the sarcasm in the video lmao
@ville__ about me?
0:08 those kids having like 5 iphones meanwhile i don't even have one :)
@ville__about you
@ville__ u do care enough to write a reply :)
@ville__cry about it jobless b!tch🤣🫵
Who has to?? @ville__
I have an IPhone that I got from my dad (he got the new iPhone 14 and I got his old X, he even bought my sister a new SE because she destroyed my old SE that she got handed down to her. My X is first gen (i think) so it doesn’t have 0.5 and I’d really like a new phone soon because my phone consistently has no storage, and the battery is really messed up and glitches (and I have a feeling it’ll die soon) but I feel bad even asking for just that. My first phone was a flip phone, my first iPhone was a iPhone 5s. These kids don’t take good care of their phones because to them they don’t have real worth, my sister being an example of that, she does not take good care of her phone despite the fact hers is brand new (from Christmas). Hers is already shattered on the screen practically, but my phone isn’t cracked at all just old. It’s bullshit tbh
i dont like rich people, especially when they try to teach you how being poor is a choice. if i die, i couldnt afford a funeral, AND I AM NOT CHOOSING THAT
Agreed like I hate it when rich people say you’re poor because of Netflix and Starbucks. Because ah yes, the $9/mo I spend on Netflix and maybe $25/mo I spend on Starbucks are the problem, not that filling my gas tank costs $55 and my rent is $1500/mo
some of us may be struggling in our lives, but at least we like ourselves.
rich people like their lives, but hate themselves
this seems like something you'd say to gaslight yourself from the fact that poor people literally just have it worse
@@fran99080 it seems like you're really trying to convince yourself that what you're saying is true
Honestly, I’ve never been so happy to be poor. These kids are being stunted for life. They’ll have everything but also nothing of value.
Back in the 1980s, "Lifestyles of the Rich And Famous" was on TV once a week. I can't imagine where I'd be if it was shown to me 24/7.
Those kids are rage bating tho… of course they are spoiled but… let’s be honest they’re doing it on purpose 😅
My whole life i've never been jelous of rich kids because somehow or other they always fuck their life up. Meanwhile me, having average ass life can TRY to fuck up and its like the universe is on my side somehow.
Feel like this doesn’t really talk about that fact that a lot of rich kid content is rage bait content and that it’s kind of messed up for parents (particularly for younger kids) to make their kids the bait to inspire angry comments and engagement.
If you watched the first video on lil Tay she covered that
Hahahah if those kids had to work for that money they wouldn't be puffed up. My parents are middle class, and they always raised me and my siblings with a "you want that toy, you have to earn your own money to buy it" mentality (which has led me to appriacte money since a young age). And now as a teen, I have my own part time job (because I'm still in school, if not I'd have a full time job lol) and am starting to save up to go to secondary education or get a car（probably a used Toyota). My parents never gave me money if I didn't work for it, and I'm all the better for that.
.
Edit: the "kids" that I mention are in the age group of 8-10-18 year olds, not little toddlers or smth. When we were younger (around 4-8) we'd help our mom with small tasks like matching socks and folding towls and picking up our toys (which I actually found fun lol).
You had a good upbringing.
I have earned money from my family since childhood, but I always saved it and then started investing. I never felt like this money was really mine, so whenever I spent it I spent it very carefully, on durable things that I would use a lot or were very necessary.
Today I'm an architect, I work, but they still give me money and the accumulated money remains invested there. From an early age I think about accumulating resources, investments, assets, to retire in the future.
I think that if the person is well educated (which these children clearly weren't), even if they have access to money they will have common sense, they won't be an empty pot like these tiktokers
@@serantos so true. My parents have even started to teach me about investing and such stuff!
I’m 27 and was raised during the recession. I was raised very similarly. If there was something that I really wanted and my parents approved of it, we’d bargain for it to be a reward for something big. I remember wanting Animal Crossing Wild World for my ds lite and that was a reward for finishing 6th grade with all As. By way of a college fund, my mom bought a savings bond each year from my birth for me to cash when I got into college.
I agree and disagree, on one hand I do think it’s good and very logical to teach kids the importance of money and that you need to be aware of how much you have and whether it’s reasonable to spend it on this thing or maybe save it up for something better that they may want
You know, I get that, I really do
But I also believe in kids being kids? I don’t believe kids should ALWAYS being doing chores or pushing themselves into a breakdown trying to keep their grades up in school just for the slim promise they may get what they want
For teens? Definitely
For kids? Eeehhhhh, it depends on the level of chores or expectations ur putting on them to earn their buck
Small chores yes, but if you’re having ur 8 year old scrubbing all ur walls and floors over a dollar store toy then I’m pretty sure that’s just child labour and I don’t agree with that
I also don’t agree with parents who make these terms just to make it easier to pawn chores onto their kids
I resented my mom for the fact that it seemed like since I could walk and move I was forced to do chores that she just didn’t want to do, and lmao I wasn’t even paid or given toys for it, just chores 😭
I really hope you mean college as a secondary education not actual SECONDARY SCHOOL.
I kinda disagree with your parents parenting, kids shouldn't have to be working a job or jobs just to be able to go to school.(I think they should be working jobs to learn responsibility and the value of money) They should be living like kids doing dumb things and hanging out with friends.
It really should be the parents job to secure a future for their children. Not the kids themselves. Don't have kids if you can't afford them.
so glad my parents can give me nice things but they educated me to be humble and grateful and never spoiled me like these brats
I feel like spending crazy money and flaunting is like a coping mechanism.....but I guess us normal people can relate🙍
All those tiktoks feel very "new money" to me, old money whispers, new money screams
Parenting decides if your kid turns out as a brat or not, regardless of background
I used to be a rich kid, my mother did everything for us kids and we got everything we wanted. Now I live on my own and realize how much effort I have to put into simple things like cooking, working or even cleaning.💀
The last few minutes of this video really made me realize that I would rather have real love than love that has been bought with money
The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving.
My family is upper middle class if I acted like these kids… I would be dead for.💀
i was about to go to sleep but zoe uploaded so guess my plan has been delayed 😭
awww sleep first🫶🏻
@@zoeunlimited i better watch the video and then sleep, can't miss on the good stuff, haha 🤭
as an upper class teenager, if i ever EVER pull out the audacity to complain about someone not cleaning my house because their arm is broken literally slap me into oblivion
Whose fault is it? The parents. 100%.
My classmates and friends growing up were VERY wealthy. Lots of old money but most were not entitled and detached like what you see on tiktok. Granted, old money and new money does make a difference in family attitudes but that said, I grew up watching my friends’ parents and my own parents snip bratty behavior at the bud. Some of the wealthiest people I know personally are very kind and down to earth and aware of their privilege. It’s not hard for parents to make their kids aware of their privilege and explain to them how there is so much poverty out there. It’s not hard to not spoil kids rotten.
In the same way though, many many are completely delusional. It all comes down to parenting.
Yeah... old money is very different. Especially new england old money
Some parents work hard for their children to have what they have, but not teaching your kids manners, grace and class you get the new money A holes
My family is pretty wealthy, closer to the rich area. However, I’m humble. Heck, we don’t have a mansion. We have a 3 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms. (Our city always has 2 baths btw) We have pets to take care of, too. My mom and dad both own a business. I’m very lucky and I realize that. Even though I’m set with money, I still understand how hard it is to become financially stable. I’m not a part of the American river yet, but I know what happens.
This is why I hate rich kids. And I hate how some go on the internet to brag about their seemingly "perfect" life.
One of those kids could pay the half of my tuition not covered by scholarships for a semester of uni in 2 days of their allowance💀
As annoying as those rich kids are, I do sorta pity them in a way
They pretty much grow up with their self worth having to be connected how much money they spend and many things they have.
Zoe, thank you for your videos. You take an accelerated society and slow it down to understand what is really going down between your scrolling. I always learn with you, and get out with a new perspective to understand how media is changing our lives. Thank you
watching these rich kids makes me realise how thankful i am for how my parents raised me and my siblings damn 😳🙏
This was a great video, it’s so rare to see people not just shitting on rich people & actually empathising with the struggles they have in their own life, although they may be different to our own. I think because culture portrays material wealth as the key to happiness we just undermine any struggles they experience because we figure ‘they must be happy because they’re so rich’, whilst ignoring that there is so much more that goes into having a joyful life.
I honestly thought this was gonna be a video on kids and teens not being taught life skills and going into adulthood struggling in a horrible economy.
I hope these rich kids get a proper humbling holy shit
Makes sense about it being about the lack of parenting combined with excess money. I recently asked a friend what he’d do if he won the lottery and both our answers were donate most of it first, help family, and pay for college. No hoarding or increasing it. I at least am uncomfortable at the thought of having so much money while people suffer. The economy sucks right now.
I'm more scared for the environment than the future of these kids
'The millionaire's daughter' girl is actually not that spoiled and she's quite polite. Yes, she flaunts her luxury products but part of the reason is to promote her family's business which sells designer products too.
For the housekeeper one I really wanted to reply to her that if the housekeeper can clean with only one hand then she can clean with her both hands still intact
The last part honestly makes me sad for the next generation of kids born to wealth. With parents who were taught to show love thorugh money and money only, this cycle will never break.

Ik the clip is old but can we talk about how Kylie (or Kendall honestly dk the difference) poured those drinks like shes never held a bottle before. She definitely hasnt.
its fine to be rich but it isnt when you dont realize youre rich 😭
It depends on how rich. Big wealth gaps in society are problematic. I would say it is okay to be wealthy, but someone being super rich and other being super poor is not fine.

"I worked so hard and only made 1000, so I quit after one day"!! Bro that's like 3 times my budget for a whole month 😢
i actually just saw something similar to the topic of this video! it was a girl talking about how yes, she was given a lot of stuff growing up bc her parents were successful, and that wealthy children don’t care about what other people think bc their parents loved them and gave them a lot of stuff growing up. and all i could think about was how it’s not a bad thing to come from successful parents, but that i feel like children from successful families won’t be successful themselves in adulthood bc they’ve never had to truly work for what they want. they’ve never had to work for themselves, and have never felt the satisfaction of being able to get something for yourself from your own success. they’ve been handed everything they could ever want in life, and now going into adulthood they don’t know how to function without mom or dad holding their hands the entire way through life, even as an adult.
i couldn't envy this even if i tried. i pity those kids.
I love your videos and your way of explaining and analysing things with irony and precision!! I've been a proud subscriber for quite some time now and your channel is one of my favorites 🤗
My ex back in the day had a rich best friend who got kicked out of his parents house for abusing drugs and getting bad grades at an ivy league his parents paid for, so he flew across the country to live with us, mind you we lived in a super poor area snd were struggling ourselves and the entitlement he had was unreal. I also watched first hand that most problems go away of you just throw money at it
I grew up as a rich kid with other rich kids, and I made fun of the kids who flaunted their money with fancy, useless stuff. But at the same time, there was stuff I didn't realize wasn't common until I went to public school...Like how it never occured to me not everyone has a washer and dryer, or even a laundry room. 😅
Omg she posted again❤❤
Must be nice! I went to the university twice. Earned 2 different Bachelors degrees. Currently work a decent paying job in tech. I have to wake up at 3am to make it to work at 5am. Rich kids are the worst.
That's crazy early, what time do you get off work?
if you don't like your job just quit it and get a new job. Also if it's a travel thing see if your company has a remote/hybird positions or start applying to other things you may like to do. Stop being jealous n weird
you can also work for a different company same position higher pay with remote jobs if you look for it
the leather jacket at 10:18 is banger tho. this is literally a vid about super rich ppl so I assume I'll never be able to afford it but hey leather working seems like a cool skill, maybe I can try to learn to make stuff like that. honestly, if I was suddenly super rich, I think that's what I'd do- snag a bunch of cool classes with professionals in all the things I wanted to be able to do.
You don't have to be rich to have it tho
As a poor person who uses her iPhone until it literally stops working, that bit with all the broken phones about gave me a heart attack. 😰
I actually got a text from the phone company two days ago saying I'm good for a free upgrade. I looked at my phone with three scratches on the screen and thought, nah, it still works, it's still good.
as a poor person, no one ever taught me how to clean too and i had to figure it out on my own
rich kids are REEEEALLYYYY comfortable in their own skin, maybe a week with no cleaning would make them start cleaning, that or living in dirt lol
This is why I can't feel bad for rich people...
Having so much money in a world where there's so many people in need is just f*ed up.
