you'd have to be pretty selfish to purchase these items, or just stupid:


Bling H20, a bottle of water costing $38

Haagen Dazs engraved icecream bowl: $1,057, matching spoon: $608

for $47,000, you can buy your spoiled little brat of a daughter a bed shaped like Cinderella's coach from a store called "Posh Tots" ...having worked with kids who sometimes didnt come to school with a lunch because their parents were too poor this really pisses me off


rich tools of the day:

"One vacationing family flew their Lab (and housekeeper) home and back again on the family plane so Grover the Groveller wouldn't miss his grooming session and check-up."

"He purchased (a california man) a BMW 3-series wagon for the sole purpose of having his housekeeper take his dogs to the vet."




I love my dog but I'm buying him his own car ffs

You mean you're not buying him his own car? :p

If not, then lend us a fiver Stern.

I'd love to run a few empty bottles under a tap and sell them on for £25 a go. Next it'll be clinics providing air for £100 an hour.
 
CptStern, no offense but is it really any of your business what rich people decide to spend their money on. What would you do if someone whined about what you spend money on "why have a 32" colour tv, that's a waste, just read a friggin book or get a portable black and white tv".

Not really, but it doesn't diminish somebody's ability to comment on how glaringly stupid it is nonetheless.

A world of a difference between a 32" TV and a ****ing ice cream bowl.

Ask yourself this though, if you won the lottery tomorrow, would you still spend an obscene $38 on a bottle of water?

I think the point here is, if you can market something as the best of it's brand and slap an excessive price-tag on it, many rich people would buy it just for the sake of saying they had it.

For example - Harvey Nichols.
 
Wow. That's utterly ridiculous. I would hate to see what being pampered with a $47000 bed would do to a child. My little brother was spoiled enough... :|
 
If I were to become a millionaire, chances are I'd stay the same as I am now. I'd probably just buy more software/booze.
 
ya I'd buy a top of the line pc that I built myself after searching out the best deals per hardware piece ..I would go overboard a bit but I wouldnt spend money on a prestige item
 
I know if I was rich, the only thing I'd go nuts on would be a really sexy car. You know, one that cries "I have a small penis".
 
I'd be exactly like stern. Build me the best damned computer there is (After searching for the cheapest deals and none of that Fatal1ty shit), and give almost (70% if I had £10 million) to various charities that I pick at random. The rest would be spent on my family and put in a bank.

How many of you would continue living a life of humility if you won the lottery? Yeah, I thought so. But paying $38 for a bottle of water is an insult to God, and if you don't believe in God, to humanity.

I wouldnt buy that behemoth if I had bill gates/bush family money. It's a garish monstrosity that is better suited for people with an inferiority complex

there's quite a few rich people that live modest lives, it all comes down to character
 
Quicklube Oil Change Shops

I can't believe people PAY other people 50$ to change their oil...
 
I'd stage a coup in a small west African nation with massive natural resourses. Then build a top of the line PC. After making sure I had raised national living standards of course

AS as for you people who would get a H2 I have this to say: The H1 is the only remotely moraly acceptable Humvee. And even then they're still ugly, bulky, fuel guzzling monstrosities. Som if your thinking about a H2, go home and stare at a picture of a Ford RS200 until you have learned the error of your ways.

I read about the air clinics in the newspaper once. They put tubes in your nose and pump scented air in them. They claim it reduces stress and increases sex drive.

And surprsingly, it is $110 for a 1-hour session.

crappy oil often recycled from other cars ..but yes I know what you mean, but since my car is leased you have to do their maintenance checks ...besides most shops dont have experience with forresters ..I've heard some horror stories like tow trucks attempting to tow the car away without puttng it on a flatbed (all subarus are all wheel drive) say bye bye to drive system ..$7000 - $8000 repair job

Cheers to that. But before you do, grab me all the SVX parts. I need them.
 
Whats the difference between a $12 cigar, and a $50 one? About $38

I guess water has a higher markup :p
 
People with that much money to spend on stupid bollocks like that don't deserve to have the money to spend on stupid bollocks like that.

You heard me.
 
I guess it isn't all bad if they buy things. Granted when they buy completely worthless things it is pretty bad. I have no problem with rich people buying expensive stuff, it is just that when they buy things that are completely worthless and a waste of money is when it gets bad.

However that money they spend is going to people who are not doing as well as them, so in turn it really isn't harming anyone, recycling that money will help the economy.

^^^Point.

It's better spent on worthless things than being hoarded and utterly worthless in itself.
 
it has nothing to do with how they spend their money but rather how they got that money in the first place ..some people are paid far too mcuh for what they do whereas far too many people work far too hard for what little they make

There's actually quite a lot of difference between the $12 and the $50 cigars. Even an untrained pallet can tell - there's longer smoke periods, more complex flavours, better aromatic compounds - given the choice of a free cigar I'd go for the $50 one any day.

I totally agree with you there.

Thus ends today's lesson of Cancersticks from AL.
Tomorrow, we'll be discussing the finer points of crack pipes.
 
These aren't cancersticks...They're cancerRODS. Therefore, WIN.

And Stay...Off...The Crack!

It's an in-joke. Besides, cigars make women want to sleep with you. Seriously, ask Pi Mu Rho.

In-jokes make me sad. Usually because I'm not in.

Heh, I just don't like certain people, hence I fit under the heading, extremely prejudice/Racist/Cruel.
 
As penny-whorish and industry-hating as I am, I would say winning a lottery would not make me spend $38 for a bottle of water. :p As long as I have what I need and a few trinkets of obvious utility to me (read: computer, books, a few hundred bags of bubble gum), the rest of the money ought to be used to buy food and medicine for people who really can't, and also to finance my political campaigns.
 
I would buy an island and rule it's people with an iron fist. Tyranny FTW!
 
There's a hell of a difference between a coat that cost £10 and a coat that cost £200 :)

I like to save up to buy nice things like that :D
