Rich People Problems We Only Wish We Could Understand
If you've ever heard someone comment, "The struggle is real" and thought that it'd be nice to struggle like that, then you'll love seeing the problems the rich people in this slideshow face. Whether First Class ran out of their favorite bubbly or their Ferrari doesn't match their shoes, these rich people need to hop off of social media and check their problems. Because they aren't looking bad to the rest of us. The person whose sister borrowed her helicopter is one of the few who really understands the struggle.
So Many Choices
While the rest of us are taking out a second mortgage to get one new iPhone, here's this chick trying to make sure she doesn't commit a social faux pas by going with the wrong phone color that day. Decisions, decisions -- we only wish we had this problem!
You also know that she doesn't have three but four phones because she' must be using another phone to take the photo.
You Detoured For What?
Just when you thought having to make it through a flight without an extra pack of peanuts was tough, there's this. We can't say that we understand the struggle of having to go for a few hours without enough fancy water or fish eggs, but we wish we could.
Although we wish that we had the time of sway that whoever made this request did (you know someone complained) we'd like to think we'd use our power for good, not inconvienience.
Going For A Spin
It's a tough, tough world when you have to choose between which six-figure plus car to take out that day. Having a different color car for each day of the week is the obvious solution here.
We're sure that she gets enough attention driving around in one of them, yet this rich chick felt the need to take a photo with all three of her six-figure vehicles. At least this chick doesn't appear to have the same problem as a person in a slide coming up.
You Don't Know How To Do What?
It's such a hard life when your chauffeur has the day off and you have to slum it by either walking or using public transportation. Hopefully, this guy's friend will explain the process of riding a train for him so that he isn't stuck in his mansion all day.
Instead of checking the train schedule as most of us would, they'd rather complain to someone else of their woes and hope a knight in shining armour arrives accordingly.
Well, That Blows
While we're pretty sure that those twenties are no match for gentle touch tissue, we still wouldn't mind having this problem. What's a runny nose when you have so much cash on hand that you can fill a tissue box with it, right? We'd love to be able to understand this struggle.
Instead of trying to scrape enough money together to pay rent, this person has plenty of bills just floating around the house.
We Don't Know How You Deal
When the average person complains about problems with having enough space, they're usually talking about running out of space in their homes or car. But this clearly isn't the average person.
This number of costly cars would be excessive even for a family of five. This, like the struggle the doctor faces on a daily basis in a slide coming up, is a struggle we definitely wish we could understand.
Too. Much. Walking.
What is it with rich people and their aversion to walking? Even if that hallway was a mile long, we're pretty sure we could make the trek if it meant sleeping on 1800 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets at night. And don't forget having access to amazing room service...yeah, we'd happily walk.
We're guessing that they're only walking themselves. There's no chance they actually had to carry their own luggage down the hallway like the rest of us.
It's Just Too Big
Your large, expensive bottle of champagne doesn't fit in the recycling receptacle? The chips are obviously stacked against this person. We're stuck with Two Buck Chuck, so clearly we'll never be able to understand this tale of woe. Unfortunately. But on the plus side, at least they're recycling.
We're guessing there's a story about a big rich party behind that big rich bottle of champagne. And no, we don't want to hear about it.
Another Day, Another Problem
Speaking of things being too big, there's this. They always say that a diamond is a girl's best friend, but clearly, that isn't the case for this doctor, whose gloves keep getting ripped to shreds.
We're sure her husband wouldn't be offended if she took the giant rock off while on the job, knowing of this problem, yet, it continues. We're betting the person with this problem is the same person with escalator problems coming up.
The Horror!
When most people take their car to get it serviced, they just hope that a) it doesn't take forever and that b) no one tracks anything on their carpets. Maybe one day we'll understand the inconvenience of having someone adjust your seat after they cleaned and detailed our Mercedes.
Likely, a rich person complained to Mercedes-Benz-- okay, many rich people probably complained to Mercedes that they felt they needed to add this preemptive apology.
How Dare She?!
When I was younger, sometimes my sister would borrow my clothes and makeup without asking, so I can sort of relate to the frustration one would feel over a borrowed helicopter. Sort of. One thing is for sure — it's time for Daddy to buy a second so they don't have to share.
Imagine having somewhere to be, as a rich teenager, and your pink helicopter isn't there waiting to take you to the outdoor mall.
Always Have A Backup
If you've never had to spend a few hours without a Rolex on your wrist, then you don't know anything about the struggle. We wish we could relate, but we're stuck over here with our Timex watches, and a $40 watch isn't really worth freaking out over.
This dude couldn't handle an hour without having a fancy watch on his wrist to let everyone know that he's got the money to do that.
Too Much Effort
The Rolex owner in the last slide might have thought he had problems, but at least he doesn't have to worry about making sure the date on his watch is correct. This poor soul might as well spare himself the inconvenience and just buy another Rolex. Who knew owning a watch could be so problematic?
Resetting the watch would take two entire fingers worth of effort, and that's two fingers far too many.
Slumming It In A Lamborghini
Being stuck with a car that costs more than the average house has to be a tough thing. Hopefully, his buyer's remorse will pass soon, but if not, there's always the option of getting the Lambo as a backup.
Now he's waiting for everyone to flood in with the positive comments to boost his woeful ego. Unlike the car owner coming up, at least his Lamborghini is on dry land.
Oh, The Horror!
Sorry, but, mam, you are 36 years old and your parents shut off your cellphone? This tells us that your parents are still paying your phone bills and they have every right to turn it off if they so choose.
Also, why do you think it is a good idea to use the police and their resources for something that is not criminal? No wonder you wound up in jail!
Too Much Gucci
Here's another rich person who has a problem with limited space. Our first thought would be to simply cut back on the Gucci shopping sprees, but what do we know? All that Gucci could be vital to her well-being, something else we don't have the fortune of being able to understand.
We're guessing this photo was taken in their walk-in closet, too, while the rest of us have shoes and sweaters overflowing from every direction of our bedrooms.
Universe, Please Change Your Date
There is nothing quite like an entitled parent who thinks they know everything, especially what is best for the kids. Well, this parent wasn't even complaining to a teacher or the principal.
Nope, they decided to complain about mother nature and the universe, asking if the solar eclipse could be rescheduled for the weekend since the kids would be in school. Sorry to say but that is not how that works.
It's Just An iPad
Nothing is more annoying than sitting in a chair that isn't level, and we all know that no work is getting done until it's fixed. Thank goodness for all of the extra iPads lying around, because folding up a piece of paper to level things out would just be too much.
Most of us would be horrified if we saw a chair leg resting on one of our devices. The fact that this act was intended just blows my mind.
You Took Your Car Mudding?
If there ever was a time that we wouldn't mind the inconvenience of getting stuck in the mud for a little while, this is it. The owner might have to wait a little while for a tow, but at least he's not in one of those situations where it's cheaper just to abandon the car.
Someone should tell him that if he wants to play in the mud he should probably add a truck to the fleet.
But It Is For The 'Gram
There is nothing more annoying than somebody who thinks they are entitled, especially when people are asking them to stop. This lady, for example, decided it was okay to walk over plants, all so she could get a shot of herself standing in front of cacti.
If we had to guess, she most likely doesn't have that many followers on any of her social media accounts to begin with. Next time, please listen to the staff asking you to stop being an entitled rich person.
Don't Be A Copycat
What do you do when a fellow rich person builds a castle that looks too much like yours? Sue them for an inordinate amount of money, of course! Maybe one day we'll understand the struggle of someone else having a matching castle, but we highly doubt it.
Apparently whoever built the first castle doesn't want anyone stealing their glory. While one thousand years ago we were worried about others attacking and capturing our castle, today rich people are worried that another castle looks too similar to theirs.
Ironing Lady
And, finally, there's this chick who has a multitude of problems. Can you imagine having your nap cut short because someone is stopping by to handle a basic chore for you, only for them to be running late? We can't, but once again, we wish we could understand this rich person problem.
Although this person clearly hired them to do a job they didn't want to do, they're so rich and lazy they can't even make the effort to be awake.
The Only Good Water
If you don't know Bling H20, their bottled water costs $38.98. It's the most elite water bottle anybody can buy. Isn't it such a problem when most water isn't $40? That's truly a struggle worthy of a Time article. If you didn't know this water existed, you're probably living like the rest of us.
If you didn't take a photo of it, there's really no purpose to have this at all.
iPlate
When most people run out of plates, they eat off a napkin. But when rich people run out of plates, they ruin $700 iPad. They might as well eat their $100 bills instead of the pizza. Based on the utensils, we're guessing that they'll eat the ham pizza by cutting straight into it, too.
Normal people wouldn't eat pizza off an iPad... or eat pizza with a fork and a knife!
Even Their Bluetooth Names Are Elitist
Someone posted a photo of their father's bluetooth connections, which are all named after his Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Man, the struggle of deciding between bluetooths between six-figure cars.
Did you even consider that that could be a problem? Because we didn't. Also, who are they calling during this photo? And why
He Went Cheap On This Purchase
Some people are living in a trailer or apartment studio. But no, let's complain about a house with only four stories. This user's dad really cheaped out on this one. While many people would sacrifice a lot for a four-story house, this user is rolling their eyes. The entitlement is palpable.
Apparently, this rich kid wants to have a luxury hotel all to themselves. If the family ever runs out of money, this kid is in for a rude awakening, to say the least.
When Your Wallet's Too Small
You gotta love the complaint that also functions as a brag. Do you think that this Snapchat user purposefully used a smaller wallet to make their money pile look thicker?
Either way, "my wallet is too small for all of my cold, hard cash" is a problem that most people won't benefit from. That stack of bills looks more like a paperback book folded in half rather than money. Maybe we haven't seen enough to know the difference.
Ugh, Too Many Private Planes!
The struggle of choosing between several private jets. It just goes to show that the more money you have, the more issues you face. However will this person choose? Most of us only have one or two cars, if even that. But rich people have the burden of hiring pilots.
What's even harder to decide is which bottle of bubbly you want to pop open and which brand of caviar to take for the flight.
Maserati's Shouldn't Be Ticketed
Imagine bragging about getting a ticket right after you get their license. Would a driver's test grader actually pass someone because of a Maserati? Probably not. But this Facebook user decided to include that detail anyway, as if that forgives driving at 80 mph in a 50 zone. Rich people problems, or bad driver problems?
Anyone who thinks they're being profiled and punished for driving a Maserati should go on a ride with a 20-year-old Toyota and see how they feel.
"Oh No, I Have To Buy Another One!"
When most people make a large investment, they take care of it so they don't have to pay for repairs. Rich people don't have that problem. They have a different problem, which is buying another boat after their previous one sinks.
Oh no, the horror! You partied too hard! Only rich people can be this reckless with something this expensive, and not care if it literally sinks to the bottom of the ocean.
The Greatest Struggle On Earth: Rolexes
When you own seven Rolex watches, your worst struggle in life is choosing which one to wear. At least, that's what we can gather from this Snapchat. All of these "complaints" are really just bragging in disguise, which is what makes the photos so cringe-worthy.
We'd like to point out the lack of diversity here though-- why would you buy two of the same watch? Wear whatever you want rich person. We don't care.
Rich Peoples' Car Problems
Remember when heating car seats were the big luxury upgrade? Rich folks are far beyond that--they struggle to choose which massage they want while driving. Doesn't that sound like a feature that could make your day?
Some luxury car owners transform their perks into problems, like this Snapchat user. Of course, no one cares which massage feature they use, and they wouldn't base their decision on whatever someone recommended. This is just throwing it in everyone's face.
When The Cellar Is The Problem
This post answers the age-old question, "Can you ever have too much wine?" According to this user, you can. Or, more accurately, you can have to big of a wine cellar. Do they store their favorite wine at the bottom? Why don't they just keep it at the top, or buy less wine?
Or, they could always get the butler to go down to the wine cellar and fetch them some red.
At Least They're Self Aware
Ah yes, jokes that apply to everyone. Being crushed by your trust fund is definitely something that everyone can relate to. Jokes aside, this company is genius. To get more rich customers, you have to relate to rich kids. It's the perfect marketing strategy.
We imagine that this book is perfectly displayed on a shelf in a mansion somewhere in Beverly Hills. Keep it handy just to remember all of the tough times they're going through.
"No, I Want The Special Money!"
Everyone can feel the difference between a new and older dollar bill. But unless your money is ripped, it still works the same way. Why would you require newer bills? Apparently, that's a big issue with this Snapchat user.
In all seriousness, wouldn't flashing your money increase your chances of getting mugged? While pulling out this much cash, for the rest of us, would mean it's the first of the month and we need to pay rent, this person is probably pulling out some fun money for the day.
Are Both The Wrong Color?
This user photographed a Rolex and an iPhone 5s (back when it was new) and complained that "Dad got the wrong colours." But which product are they talking about? The watch or the phone? Also, do rich people know that they can return items?
It's easy to switch to your preferred color. They can't be bothered with that, however. They have an entire day of rich kid stuff planned. Which consists of spending Dad's money.
The Most Pretentious Way To Destroy A Phone
This person is trying to destroy their old iPhone with a pool ball. This photo features all of the classic rich kid staples: a champagne bottle, iPhone, Rolex watch, and their car keys for good measure.
Apparently recycling your phone isn't an option when there are people who there who still don't know that you're rich. Go ahead and break it, rich kid. Daddy will buy you another one shortly.
We Get It; You Bought Watches
What is with rich people and Rolex watches? Judging by all these Snapchats, every rich person out there has an enormous watch collection. If they don't want to struggle over the choice every morning, just buy fewer watches.
Nobody needs to check what time it is on 20 different clocks. As we know from a previously slide, they're going to have a temper tantrum when it comes time to change the hour on all of these.
Is This A Common Issue?
Submerging your car in water causes a problem for every car owner. But who off-roads in a Roles Royce? Rich kids, apparently. If you own 20 cars, crashing one into a pond doesn't seem like a big deal.
Few people can transform a car crash into a brag, but this Instagram user pulled it off. They would probably get rid of the vehicle anyway, if it had a few drops of mud on the paint.
What A Relatable Meme
Apparently, owning more than one macbook comes with a host of challenges. What do you think macbook covers and stickers are made for? To tell your laptops apart. If they can afford two macbooks, they can afford a cover.
It's not a meme-worthy problem if it's easily solved, but when you're a rich kid, everything in life is tough. We hope a paid servant was closeby to take care of this terrible situation.
A BMW Isn't Good Enough
Apparently, a $60,000 BMW isn't good enough for this driver. They would have preferred a $90,000 Range Rover. This is the epitome of spoiled kid syndrome. And let's be real: they'll probably receive another car, anyway.
Also, we haven't overlooked the subtle Rolex flex on the user's wrist. We're guessing that no one feels sorry for them for this post, unless they have a bunch of rich kids friends. Go out and buy your own range Rover!
Who Would Want To Work For Him?
This user is threatening to fire his driver after being one minute late. But that's not all: he's threatening to fire an employee while showing off his Rolex and his expensive car in the background. What a humble person.
We're sure people are running over each other trying to work for him. But who starts work at 5 pm? Probably the person he hired to pose as his friend because no one likes spending time with people like this.
