22 Times Rich People Finally Noticed the Silver Spoon in Their Mouths

‘Spotify doesn’t have ads!’
22 Times Rich People Finally Noticed the Silver Spoon in Their Mouths

For most viewers, a single episode of Maury can evoke a whole lot of questions, namely “Is this ethical?” “Are these people okay?” and for elementary schoolers enjoying a sick day, “I wonder what my classmates are doing right now?”

Redditor Popular_Course3885 isn’t most viewers, and admitted they discovered just how well-off they were after learning what, exactly, the show's guests meant while referencing “the club.” “I was confused about people on Maury complaining their spouse was at ‘the club,’” they recalled. “I couldn't figure out what type of country club would let people like that through the front security gate.”

The country club may turn up their noses at most Maury guests, but they’d happily let in this spoiled lot of Redditors, ones who discovered their privilege through calling Range Rovers “mom cars,” assuming Spotify didn’t come with ads and a very expensive trip to the gas station.

LilAsshole666 2mo ago My parents are wealthy, but I grew up in a place where many of my peers parents were super duper crazy wealthy, so I had a really skewed understanding of wealth. It was really eye opening for me when I went to college. I didn't have to take out student loans, my parents were able to just pay for it, but I had friends who even with financial aid had to work their butts off year round to cover the cost of school. I realized pretty quickly just how privileged I was and that I did in
fluffymcflufffluff 2mo ago We wanted to try the new rail transit system. Our friend's driver dropped us off at one station, so we could get tickets and ride the train. When we got to the next station, we got off and proceeded to find our friend's driver, who was waiting there to pick us up and take us home. 1.3K Reply ...

RamblinWreckGT 2mo ago At this point I already knew I was very well-off, but after I had gotten laid off for the first time a few years ago I took a break for about a month before diving into a job search. I was at the self-checkout at the grocery store next to a woman paying with food stamps. I had recently gotten $100,000 from my grandmother's inheritance and it hit me I'm unemployed, not even trying to find a job, and I just got a boatload of money because somebody else died. And she's the one people think is
Successful-Emu-1412 2mo ago Becoming an adult and realizing that I have extremely good role models as parents because when they have disagreements they talk them out and I have never ever heard them argue or bad mouth each other. I also realized that as a kid my parents got me mental health help that I needed even though it was expensive and continued that care for as long as I have needed it. A third one that doesn't seem like much but has had a huge impact was being taught financial literacy from a young age- to budget my money
abal1003 2mo ago My parents loved to travel. By the time I was 16 I had been to every continent aside from Antartica. I didn't realize that this was privileged behavior until I went to uni and most of the guys I met had never left the country. In fact, I grew up thinking I was less privileged because everyone at my school was just obscenely rich. Like all their stuff was high end designer stuff while I was in converse. 2K Reply ...

FancyFeetFetishLady ® 2mo ago My oldest brother was raised by grandparents in another country. I remember when he moved to the states after turning 18, he was in awe of seeing a garage door automatically open. That's when I realized we grew up way different than him. Sad really. But man he sure did rise and become the most successful of all us siblings. 431 Reply ...
didsomebodysaymyname a 2mo ago Dad was an engineer, so professional wealth, but not like dgaf wealth. Probably hearing about a kid whose family had to give his dog away due to the cost in elementary school. Giving away our dog wasn't on the radar or even on the table. But it was only out of the question because my parents had the money for it to be out of the question. 780 Reply ...

Goosfrabbah 2mo ago Probably told this story here before: Grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. During summer break when I was maybe 10-11? I was watching Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Episode finished and I ran downstairs to my dad, who was on his knees pulling weeds out of the garden and said Dad, you should become a millionaire so we can have a butler like in Fresh Prince!

Litwickey 2mo ago Was staying the summer at my grandmother's house. I was probably 10-11ish and hanging out with her best friend's granddaughter who was my age. She asked me my dream car and I said the name of a super car. Then I asked her back and she said a Range Rover. I told her that she should pick a less boring car and called it a mom car and she asked me to clarify what I meant, so I told her that everyone at my school's moms drove one so I thought it was boring. Her eyes widened
hotlettucediahrrea a 2mo ago I don't really come from wealth, just solidly upper middle class, but as part of my job I do home visits, and have many clients who are poor. When I first started my career in my 20s, I was shocked to discover there were people in the US who lived in homes with no indoor plumbing or electricity, with dirt floors, or had outdoor kitchens (not like a BBQ setup, like there was no kitchen inside where they lived, so they had to cook on an oil drum outside). I had no idea. - 3.1K Reply
