XO poll: how do we view nepo babies and generational wealthmos
Poast new message in this thread
Date: December 2nd, 2025 11:02 AM Author: Rage Against the Margarita Machine (Goy First, America Always) I will be the first to admit that from personal experience and anecdotes I find most of them detestable. But I don't know EVERY spoiled rich kid on the planet. Surely, at least one of them must be doing some good in the world. What are your thoughts XO? Where are we on this?

Date: December 2nd, 2025 11:04 AM Author: The Soo CR National Champions JUGGERNAUT Better question is why you care if they’re doing good in the world? What good are you doing in the world? Do you not think a huge % of people “maeking it” are actively making the world a worse place in the process? Your views seem very clearly to be based in resentment. You said you grew up with some rich kids but were not yourself rich, it seems this anger that you didn’t get what you think you deserved instead of them is what drives your current views.

Date: December 2nd, 2025 11:29 AM Author: Rage Against the Margarita Machine (Goy First, America Always) I was always either the richest kid in the poorest neighborhood or the poorest kid in the richest neighborhood. However you want to look at it. I've always identified with Don Quixote. The lowest level of nobility. An aristocrat whose lands do not generate enough income to retire on.
I don't think I deserve more. I just believe the working class is due a lot more opportunity. And yes when you haven't got any money striving to maek it and support your family is inherently noble imo. Not making the world a worse place as long as you're not doing fraud. |

I've never met a nepo who became a super striver but I'm sure they're out there. I just haven't met one. Cool they're out there rowing the boat even though they didn't have to. |

I understand the hate, especially when the nepo is a dick, but I wouldnt want my kids looked upon negatively just because I helped them out. |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 12:55 PM Author: Rage Against the Margarita Machine (Goy First, America Always) I definitely think parents should help their kids. You're doing the right thing. Huge difference though between I'm going to leave them some money when I die when I'm 80 and they're 50 and, hey son you're 25 here's enough money to retire and life a life of extraordinary decadence. Is that really helping? To let them retire after 1 year of biglaw? Props to you if you admit you want your kids to never work and live in ridiculous over the top unearned abundance. If that's what you envision for them. Never having to face the real world and overcome challenges like you had to. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5805171&forum_id=2:#49477432) |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 3:31 PM Author: Rage Against the Margarita Machine (Goy First, America Always) I unironically believe that people should work and derive purpose from work in their prime working years. It's also totally, 100% unreasonable for anyone to compare themselves to someone who hit a 1 in a million sperm lottery moonshot and inherited generational wealth in their 20s. It's extremely rare. And it's such a rare case that it has no bearing on any political discussion. If you look at mainstream politics of any kind there's virtually no discussion of 'what should the government do for people who got psychotically rich from inheritance.' It's not even relevant to the 1% let alone the 0.1%. So the fact that he was even in the potential position to do something 99.999% of people never will and you're saying it was a good idea for his parents to spare him from any kind of normal life or build any character... yeah okay. Point is it happened, and, subjectively, I think it was a disaster of a call. But whatever, life moves on. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5805171&forum_id=2:#49477955) |

The difference is these UMC families never quite crack UHNW. So every generation is doing 'well,' and maybe doing better now than ever before, but not enough to check out permanently in their 20s and jet set for the rest of their lives.
It takes one CSLG or one Mitch to breakout and earn BEAUCOUP dollars that will serve generations. Imagine if your great grandfather bought a football team. Now we're talking 4-5 gens that haven't worked a day in their lives. There's investing and then there's absolute nepotism. The difference is in the amount of support I guess.
James Dolan's dad bought him the Knicks. Not some Cravathmo passing down 3-5 million split among 5 kids or whatever. |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 3:06 PM Author: Rage Against the Margarita Machine (Goy First, America Always) There's a ton of scholarship about how today's elites are NOT LIKE those of the Gilded Age. In the Gilded Age the average person was deeply thankful for their industrious overlords. Vandy and Carnegie were revered for being smart and capable and growing the country culturally and industrially and through charity.
Today most people think charities are a tax haven for the ultra rich to pass money around back to themselves. Huge difference. You can't compare two disparate eras. Today's rich are scummy and everyone hates them. |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 3:00 PM Author: lex Expectations are high for sincerely wealthy kids, especially if their parents were UMC strivers and not born into money. I can see why some of them burn out under the pressure and languish, as if success, given their advantages, were a binary 0/1 and they were supposed to outdo their dads. I have an immense amount of respect for anyone who can use their gifts well, though, whether that means building up their own dragon hoard from what they inherited, funding institutions and serving on boards well, art, etc. On the other hand, the creation of culture traditionally largely rests with people who have the leisure to pursue something beyond survival or mundane caring for family. That makes seeing someone solely squandering it on personal pleasures sad, even if I'm sympathetic to wealthy kid burnouts. |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 3:08 PM Author: NSAM's Schizoid Conspiracy Advent Calendar (gunneratttt) cr. i feel bad for some of the wealthymos i know. they never fully get to take credit for their own success. even though they have lots of advantages, it's still hard work to do anything worthwhile. yet their accomplishments get dismissed. meanwhile, if they don't use their resources in impressive ways they get accused of squandering them. it's no wonder that they often cloister themselves or hide their wealth.
lots of cumskins here have been perpetually aggrieved for the past decade+ when everything they've done is dismissed as white privilege. i imagine it's not much different than that, and you'd think people would be more empathetic because of that. |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 3:13 PM Author: Rage Against the Margarita Machine (Goy First, America Always) Putting back on my Anecdote Hat the ultra richmos I grew up with absolutely despised regular people and did shack up with each other big time. I went over to this rich guys house once and all the kids whose parents inherited millions had their own special table and the middle class kids had to sit by themselves. This is 100% not flame. It was class separation. They really don't want to know you. And the reason is simple... Let me make this extremely clear so it's impossible to misunderstand. What separates them from everyone else is... a shitload of money. Seriously. That's what they care about. Being around other people with money so they don't feel like there's any chance they could be taken advantage of. It's to protect their assets at the end of the day. And so they can socialize with other people who have the same standard of living (read: rank hedonism) that they do. They get uncomfortable if you bring up striving to be honest. If someone says oh boy I had to work really hard on something. I had to cut back this month. They freak out, internally. They literally don't get it, and they wouldn't ever want to. Not in a million years. So yeah protecting their assets and social stratification is paramount to them. Again I'm generalizing because I'm sure "somewhere out their in the infinite cosmos" is some richmo whose not like the many I grew up around. But I haven't met that type of richmo in real life who has an ounce of humility so I can only report what on what I know first hand.

Date: December 2nd, 2025 3:38 PM Author: NSAM's Schizoid Conspiracy Advent Calendar (gunneratttt) i'm sure a lot of my wealthmo friends were like that as kids, as kids tend to be cliquey and childish.
obviously there's some self-selection bias since i'm not running into hedonism wealthmos but only strivers, but i know quite a few strivers, and they tend to be 180 and not overtly classist. |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 3:45 PM Author: Rage Against the Margarita Machine (Goy First, America Always) To be clear, I have never faulted you for not having a TV show. Although, if you did, I assume, with great evidence, that it would suck. Also you could easily just make your own show by doing a travel vlog on Instagram, TikTok, and YT Shorts as millions of other people do, at low/no cost. And some of these people become extremely famous and successful on their own merits without some producer dropping money on the project.
Food for thought! Although it's a foregone conclusion that you wouldn't do that out of the potential to embarrass yourself and have to explain away another failure to your friends and family! |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 3:23 PM Author: Rage Against the Margarita Machine (Goy First, America Always) You're the one who literally said it was hard for large sums to become larger. It's part of your whole ethos about how you 'grew your wealth' by investing in the crypto bull run. That it took skill and guts to grow your fortune. But now you're saying any Tom Dick and Harry with enough chips and dump their chipstack into the market and live on less than the ROI, if their initial sum is large enough?

Date: December 2nd, 2025 3:36 PM Author: Rage Against the Margarita Machine (Goy First, America Always) This is very poorly written ESL slop. But I think what you're trying to say is that with a small slice of your pie you made outsized gains on the crypto bull run. Ok? But you then extrapolated that a prole who "doesn't have hundreds of thousands" to drop into the stock market (look at the data: they don't) could make the same "outsized gains"? Uh, yeah, obviously. And they did. I know a guy on a military pension who put a bunch into Doge coin and made a ridiculous amount (by percentage of gains). That doesn't alter your life. Being smart and making a great bet doesn't alter your life without the chipstack to do it. You need the chips for the move to count for anything. A small bet goes nowhere even if the % is high. No one cares about percentage gains. It's the sum total. Warren Buffet makes more than 100x your net worth on 10Y bonds because he's got so many chips in the game. Having the chips is the key component to success, not who has the most brilliant idea. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5805171&forum_id=2:#49477986) |
