Money can’t buy taste. There’s a strong amount of evidence to indicate that he’s either a beneficiary of his granddaddy’s oil money and/or his dad’s money earned from working at Cray Supercomputers.What I don’t get about Nick is he doesn’t really act like someone with generational wealth.
Someone by the third generation of lots of money shouldn’t be boasting about buying decent whisky, and they should certainly not be licking the bottle incase they lose two cents worth of alcohol.
If anything he should be confused by people not buying good whisky and just treat it like a normal drink.
It could be the grandparents are sitting on the money thinking that they want people to not get spoilt and have a work ethic but that tends to churn out grandkids who just faff about until the old ones pop their clogs and it’s inheritance time.
Nothing about him indicates he’s got a lot of money. He dresses like shit and eats like shit. He has a midlife crisis car that just screams nuovo riche, and the most plebby kind of new money.
I can’t figure his family life out.
If someone is a second or third generation millionaire, they don’t necessarily have to be fancy erudite cultured people who have a Degas in the foyer and fly to England to see the Philharmonic after getting custom tailored Savile Row suits. This dude has instead had the trashy faggy instinct to spend all his money on
- Balldos
- Trips to Hedonism II where Caribbean niggers prowl in search of undersexed midwestern hausfraus (eg: Lady Rackets)
- Trips to Anime Matsuri so Eric July can witness Sir Balldo getting stepped on by e-girls and his Birkenstock-clad wife
- A $70-80,000 Mustang that he crashed into a ditch despite driving in the Minnesota snow for years
- A $6,000 camera that still somehow manages to capture his stream in 720p
- $3,000/mo of junk food purchased by their former au-pair
- Hundreds of dollars of liquor per day
In my mind I don’t think Nicks parents ever taught him the value of earning or saving money. But they didn’t raise him to be a fancy cultured person of wealth either. So he’s just an example of the worst of both worlds; he’s got that “white trash with cash” attitude that is common among “new money” but he’s also got that subconscious smug self-assured attitude that no matter how hard he fucks up, he can always fall back on grandpas oil money as his safety parachute.
