Best example you've seen of 'money can't buy class'?

jeanjolie

Needless to say for me, it has to be this girl:

It's not about her being spoiled that I'm arguing but rather how poorly glammy (the irony) she looks.

Don't know many posh people in Blackrock but I'm definitely sure that some would be on the line of this girl.

Kardashians.

Didn't the Kardashians inherit their wealth from their deceased father?

I've heard that 'money doesn't buy class' applies to 98% people of 'new money' (i.e inherited it rather than earned it)

If that's the case, its no surprise there.

Eh if they couldn't afford a ?700 a month mortgage on a house they have "no money".

I believe it was the manufacture and sale of home sex tapes, orchestrated by their mother, that made them famous and led to them becoming high earners.

Old money refers to money inherited through at least three generations, not self-made monied people, not what you think. New money usually refers to the newly rich who are also brash or vulgar, boasting about all they have, rather than people who simply make a lot of money and are discreet or tasteful about it.

Most people who are very wealthy would be hard to spot.

A girl in uni here comes from upper class stock as she puts it. On nights out she exposes her t'ts, was caught giving oral in the toilet and spkts at people when drunk.

In the UK, upper class refers only to titled people. Not the wealthy upper middle classes. The best indication that she isn't upper class is that she told you she is, not her behaviour.

Ah we'll disagree there Candie. Her behaviour is a better indicator of class than a title.

In fairness she didn't tell me she's upper class. Her supervisor told me she's some line of blue bloods.

Obviously she has no class, which is in common with plenty of upper class types. Class has a few meanings.

What she definitely isn't, is upper class. In any sense of the term.

You said she defines herself as upper class.

Also why did they go on this show? It's just an embarrassment for everyone involved.

Has to be Trump with his gold plated everything jumbo jet. He's no better than the Arabs in Dubai who just want the biggest everything, money no object, because they can. You'd think humans would have evolved beyond the impulses of a magpie, some obviously haven't.

The parents should have spent some of the money on elocution lessons to get rid of that awful accent.

Most likely the mother trying to tout some new reality TV show idea now that she's spent her last cent on the child as if the child is some kind of doll.

Heh, a woman from Co Meath comes to mind who posts pics from whatever foxhunting society she belongs to & selfies with her latest BMW up on instagram.

Ffs she is just a child.

Yes the amount spent on her is completely ridiculous but to me that interview is a bit too "let's laugh at the non posh family with poor taste".

Leave her be.

Mercs can be had for 35k now. You'd get a top spec Skoda for the same money if you wanted. They're not the status symbol they used to be.

Truly upper class people drive Volvos... those 20-30 year old tanks of Volvos. Or an ancient Land Rover. They don't give a ****e about a brand new status symbol every year.

I'm not sure about the last line...I know a couple of them who make certain everyone knows.

As for the OP, one of the above people also lets everyone know how much she has to ''strain'' to ''get a sh** out''.

That's a question of personal class rather than social class. You can have one without the other or both. You know people with one without the other.

The former is definitely more important than the latter.

Monetary wealth and class are two things that people think ought to be related.

Class is a state of mind. A human quality. A recognition of .... well.....just class.


The snooker player who touches the cue ball by accident but illegally and isn't seen by the ref but owns up and takes the penalty.

That's class.

The millionaire who, although he is surrounded by his peers at an expensive dinner points out that the waiter was correct in pointing out that they were wrong about something.

That's class.

It's not about knowing the name of a restaurant in Monaco, because any clown can do that.

Class is just class. It's decency mixed with a dose of confidence and individuality.


You can read about or attend all the operas you want if you have an 8 figure bank account....and that doesn't mean you have or don't have class. You could be a bohemian.

But if you help the waitress clean up the tray of drinks she dropped afterwards.

That's class.

Deagol

Company I work for used to be privately owned by two American guys. One of them owned a Silver Merc with Gold wheels. I was in the head office once and was asked what I thought of it (without knowing at the time who owned it), my description of it as a 'pimp-mobile' brought gales of laughter.

He was in Ireland once and sent his food back to the kitchen of a very expensive restaurant twice saying it wasn't cooked to his liking. Third time the food didn't come back out, the chef did, told him he didn't have pay for any food but he needed to leave

Jaysus. Six years old....Wait, hold on. That would make her about 17 or maybe even 18?
How long do we have to wait before it's "ok" to start googling her to see how she turned out?......might be one of those big-boobied glamour ladies now.
For scientific reasons of course.

Absolutely. My in laws are minted but you'd never think it. They drive a 10 year old car, never get anything done to the house, one holiday a year for a week even though they're retired. You'd think they were just your average joes.

My ex's parents also have a sh*t load of money and you'd know it within 5 minutes of meeting them. Always in holidays in Italy for weeks at a time, brand new cars every year, house is always being painted/extended, she looks like Mr T with all her jewlery, speaks like she's the queen even though she's from Offaly
