Super rich guy tried to pick up my then girlfriend at an industry event after party kind of thing. She was not impressed by any of his shit. The look of disappointment on his face after showing off his $250k watch still makes me smile all these years later.
I’m not even gonna lie, chief, if somebody shows me any kind of luxury fashion like that and boasts that it costs more money than I’ll ever see in my lifetime, I’m just gonna ask if it was worth the human suffering incurred in the making of these luxury goods.
There are apparently a surprisingly different levels of strata of “rich people”. The groups in the middle range are apparently the most desperate to appear to be in the higher ranges of rich people.
So if someone comes up to you and brags about their $250k watch, you already know that they’re not in the “rich rich” group, and they desperately want you to think they are. So hit them where it hurts with a reply like: “Ahh, I understand now. You’re not really rich. People that actually are rich don’t tell others how much they paid for a watch. Maybe someday you’ll get to that level like really rich people. Until then, could you please leave me alone?”
