The Top Disadvantages of Growing Up Rich

Donald Trump’s kids are in the spotlight this week at the RNC.  And even though they probably got everything they wanted growing up, being a rich kid has a downside.  Here are The Top Disadvantages of Growing Up Rich:

  • The constant struggle of having windblown hair from the helicopter blades.
  • After your mom dies, an evil stepmother will take over the castle and lock you in a turret.
  • Having a dad who doesn’t realize just how orange he is.
  • You’re always tripping over the violin left in the foyer by the kid your parents pay to do your math homework.
  • Sometimes during high school you can become a victim of Bentley-shaming.
  • Your relationship with your parents is built on materialism instead of what it should be:  resentment.
  • Since your parents can afford it, you’re pressured to attend Harvard even though your I.Q. is suited for ITT Tech.
  • Your parents think they can buy your love.  Which makes you feel bad about yourself, since it’s true.
  • You miss out on the pure joy of finding a $20 bill you totally forgot about in your pocket.
  • You get a stupid name like “Thurston” or “Muffy” or “Thurston-Muffy.”
  • It takes three and a half days to open your Christmas presents.
  • You have the least amount of street cred of anyone in the finance district. 
  • The Starbucks barista always screws up at least one of your six names.
  • Every time you’re surprised, your monocle falls off and splashes champagne all over your tuxedo.
  • You never get to fully appreciate poor comedians’ hilarious jokes about government cheese.
  • You could end up with a name like “Barron Trump.”
  • Somehow inheriting millions of dollars makes you lazy.
