I don't like it one bit!
I think of them as arrogant.
Sub question: Why do you think a lot of people are arrogant? !
This is the stuff that causes great slaughtering in history... disparity in wealth. What's flaunting... me driving my 12yr old Lexus, or some dude driving his Bently around, or someone walking with a bowl of rice around people that haven't eaten in 3 days?
Our society is really screwed up and corrupt, that's the problem. The robots do what they were trained to do.. it ain't Jesus world. Our God is money... the Jewish and Christian Gods were thrown out in the 1960's. Just look at all the religious values coming out of media marking channels and hollywood into our brains about "loving our neighbors as ourselves, do unto others as youd have them do to you, sharing, caring, community, care for the poor, etc..". It's nearly non existent... and that's my point... that part of society was minimized and replaced by greed, drugs, lust, envy, accumulation of wealth, etc.. We lost our way long ago into the pit of doomed emotions and we are reaping the fruits.
Crony capitalism took over and the rich are not allowed to fail and lose their money for the whole system would go down. So the rich get richer, many get rich, and the middle class got torn up (as the $ printing steals their savings, land and life) and the lower levels left behind and crushed.
Now we should be very thankful, we have it so good... don't get me wrong... it's the best of times for many, and the worst of times for too many.
So these people who are filthy rich don't have much choice... they like to "feel" good and enjoy the wealth they obtained. I don't blame them and I look to see hwo they succeeded... with an eye towards what is wrong and how to fix it.
We are all living in a false reality created by a money machine and corrupt govt system... enjoy it while it lasts... plant a garden and learn to live cheap for when it inevitably blows.
They are insecure and need approval from others but looks can be deceiving

Today I went to a food pantry and there were people there that had nice cars, live in better neighborhoods, and some of them were talking about their plans to go to Hawaii and ski resorts, and these are the same people picking up food, which is supposed to be for the less fortunate.
When I got there, I didn't know where to go because I don't usually go to those because of social anxiety, but I get there and I ask the lady running it "Where do I go" and she said stand in line. I said "Where's the line" and she said, "Oh, just stand over there. One of them will accuse you of cutting the line and tell you where the back is." Jeez! Yeah, they are all regulars too.
This one poor girl was getting formula for her 1 month old baby and the rich people ahead of her got it all before her. I'm not kidding! This is the kind of town I live in! Everyone keeps telling me I can make money off of my books. Maybe I should look into marketing, sell one, and take whatever money I make and get the hell out of here!
And people wonder why I hate billionaires (That includes ex-presidents too!) I worked for enough companies to know they walk all over the poor and don't care about them!
I have no problem with people who show off unless they do it at my expense. If they show off their Mercedes Benz but use that Mercedes to give me a ride to work when I miss the bus, then I will celebrate their Mercedes with them and be happy for them. And if somebody shows off their garden online but lets you take a tour of their garden when you are in the area, I have no problem with them showing off their garden online. Like I'm happy my aunt and uncle are rich cause they give us small income donations when we vacation with them, by paying for our burger or our coffee. I also don't mind honouring others for their achievements if they are also willing to honour me for mine. And I don't mind celebrating my friend's relationship if they are willing to celebrate with me when I find guys that like me.
Unless they are condescending towards others I generally do not care.
Still, I should point out that many of the people I see who flaunt their wealth are on the road to poverty. Instead of buying investment properties or otherwise wisely investing, they buy bling and overpriced cars to try to impress people. Of course those people who are impressed disappear as soon as the well runs dry.
Idc tbh. Maybe theyre not showing off by intentions, it’s just how they live their lives. To them and their people i think it’s a regular thing. What if theyre born rich, old money family, everything about them and what they show look expensive and lavish without they even need to try?
there’s a difference between people who flexes their wealth for attention or validation, and people who are old money who are lowkey but still let these bitches know.
i’m not salty about either, just cringe for those who seek validations and attentions from public they barely know. Like, who are you trying to impress? The people you don’t like? SAD 😂
I think they are stupid. Even in secure Swiss kidnappings aren't uncommon if there is a lot of money to make. When you brag with your money but you're too skimpy to pay some security guys who protect your butt, it's only a question of time until some criminal chose you as target.
I don’t see a problem. If they worked hard to get to a place and want to dress nice and drive nice cars. They deserve it! I would hope others talk to them and learn about how to become better with their life.
I was fortunate to learn a few things from the super wealthy people…they are not all arrogant when you talk to them…they just want to live well. they think differently…jealousy, laziness is not one of them.
I have never liked anyone who love flaunting their wealth. I feel like the really wealthy people don’t usually do this. It is always the “luke warm” well-off people who go around and brag about their cars, houses and expensive belongings. You never see Mark Zukerberg, Jeff Bezos or Jack Ma showing what cars they drive.
If they have to flaunt it at every opportunity, that implies both a pitifully materialistic view of life and betrays a mountain of personal insecurity.
When you look at the inside of my car, you don't see a gazillion things that scream "f-you rich and proud."
My interior betrays a different kind of insecurity: that civilization as I know it could end any given day, and I want to at least do the bare minimum to improve my odds of survival.
Good for them. Glad they can do it. Means this is a free country. I'm more mad at the government for not protecting us from monopolies, letting huge cooperations, control our economy, and generally doing a shitty job at being the government.
I could care less if they look wealthy, the only time it bothers me is if they think they can speak to someone else differently just because they have money. Then sometimes you have to say something to put them in their place.
Complete stupidity. Nothing of those things brings happiness just silly 10 second ego boost.
Having a good tasting meal and a nice bed to sleep on is the real blessings.
I haven’t seen anyone do it since high school.
I don’t really pay attention and I think a lot of people are accused of doing it, when they’re not.
Eh. I'll let them be them.
As for why? For many I think it's because they can. Also, though, a lot of choices just show... it's not deliberate flaunting.
good for them.
What are they supposed to do, live a poverty lifestyle so they don't offend anyone because they have money?
If they worked hard to get it then to each their own. If that’s what makes them happy then
To be honest? The people who flaunt it, are usually the ones who have acquired it illegally. Hence don't know about style or keeping low key.
Good for them. I would not flaunt wealth but i would make almost no effort to hide my wealth either. Just enough to repel gold diggers, users and robbers.
Flaunting will likely get them robbed. Thats on them
Good for them. If I was rich I would be doing the same thing.
It doesn’t bother me. If you got it flaunt it. You can’t take it with you. You’ll risk getting robbed by making yourself such an easy target.
