So called 'connections' is BS for the most part for normal middle class folks.[/quote]

If you come from LC/MC, what do you bring to the table that those rich white kids want to hang out with you? It is like a person who is fat, broke and lazy but yet wants to have a beautiful model girlfriend. The real world does not operate that way.

My DS, from a MC family, just finished his first-year at an Ivy school as a recruited athlete and this is what he told me: 1- Wealthy kids wanted to hang out with him because they want to be "cool"; 2- They can tag with him to cool parties and talk to pretty girls that they can't do that on their own; 3) My DS can play guitar and sing, so girls are naturally drawn to him (it also happened in HS), and those wealthy kids want to hang out with DS because they want to be like him.  One of the wealthy kids, whose father is a CEO of a F500 company, flew him to Vail during winter break in a private jet to stay at his parents' vacation home for two weeks and gave him 10K spending money.  He also promises DS that his mother will get DS an internship if DS is his friend during the next four years in college and beyond.  [/quote]

Your kid accepted 10K spending money from a friend?  I hope not.[/quote]

You do realize this person is taking the piss? [/quote]

The $10K is the only detail that seems off to me.  Private jet people fly friends.  Moms get people internships.

I'm not part of this world but I hear about it from time to time and it all seems "off" to me.  Did you read the news article about the oligarch's daughter at NYU whose roomie stole a few items and fenced them?  These were things costing $1,000s that were just lying around the room and weren't immediately noticed to be missing.

My friend whose daughter went to Princeton said his daughter spent winter break in Shanghai with the daughter of a family that built a lot of the 1930s skyscrapers ($$$).  My manager who had his kids in the Moscow International School said the oligarchs' kids gave out iPads as birthday party favors.  Maybe check this Stephen Colbert link out for fun:

And what about that Anna Sorokin/Delvey grifter? She was borrowing/charging large sums.

It's hard to tell trolls from reality, lol.
