Many of these stories made our jaws drop, not just because of how extravagantly these wealthy individuals spent their money, but also due to how carelessly they viewed it. For many, what they would spend on one item or occasion would amount to several years' worth of salaries, but for them, it's just pocket change for the day.

No wonder it's so hard to imagine how they live. You have to see it to believe it.

Some people really do live on a different planet.

That “super rich” vibe turns into petty drama fast, like the AITA fight over refusing to contribute to your friends’ lavish surprise vacation.
