[identity profile] childings.livejournal.com 2010-06-20 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
I've known a few rich people (like, people with a million dollars or more) and I will say that for the most part, they have a hard time understanding working class people, sometimes looking down them (but only if they are white, excuse me, "rednecks," I've noticed), either that or they tend to be condescending or patronizing ("they don't know any better!" etc.) I don't know about other stereotypes, but as someone from a lower middle class household it always annoys me

If you're wondering if I'm making this up, I'll tell you about some of these people. One of is my best friends' dad, who made ridiculous amounts of money running a clothing business and later sold his shares, bought and sold real estate, and is now pretty much penniless because he was a stupid hippy New-Ager who spent ten years not working or managing his finances because he would rather spend it all on crystals and stupid shit. Though he did manage to start an orphanage (in Peru, WTF)

The other guy was a mutual acquaintance I met through said friend who was a flaming dickbag, he was only a millionaire because he got bitten pretty badly by a dog when he was a child and his family sued the owner (BTW he is fine from what I could tell, I think he was bit in the face but his face is now fine, he's not physically disfigured or impaire in anyway). He's just a total douche, he once threw away a coat that he'd left in my apartment because I let my husband wear it. He acts like a total fucking spoiled brat.

The last guy I know is actually pretty cool, he's a friend of my husband's, in law school and in his early 20s, his dad owns a wine business and I don't really know him that well, but he drives an old Volvo and lives a pretty normal existence, even though judging from his house, his parents have a lot of wealth. He is pretty much the only rich guy I know who appreciates what he has and doesn't feel guilty about it, or entitled to anything. I think he might be the only rich guy I've ever known who is normal, though.

I'm not saying that the stereotypes are true or that these people are right for writing bad characters, just that from my experience I find it rather disturbing how true many of the stereotypes are when it comes to some rich people
