[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend made it big and started running around with a stadium suite/private jet/private island crowd. I see her when she is bored or when those friends have other obligations. It’s pretty weird and I don’t relate to most of her life anymore.

I can’t even say the right casual comments. The other day she was talking about their new pool and how much the kids are enjoying it and I said that you know it’s a good summer when kids smell like chlorine all the time. [b]Totally deadpan, she goes “it’s saltwater, of course.” Oops.[/b] [/quote]
This is also hysterical, and the kind of behavior that makes clueless rich people so enjoyable to read about.

I had a situation sort of similar to PP’s where a friend I met through kid sports and elementary school activities would still happily talk to me about the sorts of things we always had if we were one-on-one, but couldn’t stop talking about tennis and lavish vacations if we were in a crowd with other people who lived that lifestyle.  They eventually moved their kids to private school and the relationship faded.

At the same time, we have mutual neighborhood friends who did end up with a private jet and stadium box as the husband became increasingly successful. None of the staggering wealth made any difference to the relationships in that case.  They are the same funny, thoughtful people they always were and don’t care that most of their friends aren’t part of that milieu.  It really does come down to personality in the end.
