[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know. Their lifestyle is incomprehensible to us. But if — as I’ve read on a midnight-nursing deep-dive— they were childhood friends who lived nearby in the Hamptons and nyc, sharing an ultra rich social bubble,  and their relationship started with bizarre luxury shoe gifts and other crazy materialist gestures, it may all have been…almost normal to them.  Like, if you live in a neighborhood where it’s normal to get $300 bimonthly hair color (which is a ridiculous extravagance in its own context) instead of $800 weekly facials, would it be hard for you to switch to coloring at home while all your friends frequented the salon? Privilege is highly contextual. I can see it in my own lifestyle creep.

If it weren’t for the instagram account I would  feel sorry for her. While I could see how somebody could get stuck in a social bubble, the instagram showed that she also saw through that bubble, and saw the ordinary folk gawking. So she didn’t live in a vacuum. She knew there were other ways of living.

An adult doesn't have to take part in anything they're not willing nor able to. It's almost as if you're insinuating they were victims of peer pressure and, from my vantage point, i don't think it's the case. Additionally, your use of the word [/b][i] Ultra-rich[/i] is a tad too liberal for me. They certainly would've led comfortable lives had they chosen to live within their means but,  by Hamptons standards, they were certainly not ultra-rich, hence the debt-fueled lifestyle that culminated in this tragedy.[/quote]
