Obviously from such a wealthy family, why even do this? It's obviously a mental disease. This will undoubtably ruin her even more, Twitter is all she had.
Why not just go to law school or become an "accountant" and live easy of the old folks money?
I mean law school fucking sucks and for a rich kid who went to an expensive private high school she would’ve had to probably be a legacy at an ivy (not a shitty one either) to get in for undergrad and then score very high (like 98th percentile) on the lsat to compete in the very small pool of undifferentiated rich kids spots to get into even a top 25 school. Unless her parents have like hundreds of millions of dollars? but even then…. And people like her can’t go to a state school. That would expose their parents as not being rich enough to buy a child who can achieve what is socially necessary. There would be a social forensic investigation done by their friends and colleagues on how they fucked up their shitty kid which would resume every time they left the room at a party. And even if they send the kid to like one of those 75k per year Lena Dunham ass schools that don’t even assign grades, that kid is not going to be able to just go be an accountant while their friends have lives that at least look exciting and fulfilling on instagram.
I’m just speculating because I don’t think I know anyone who is both from a super wealthy family and honest/self aware enough to articulate it, but I think there is this hilarious trap that the children of wealthy fall into, especially in the US where we like to pretend we are all bootstrapped and self made. They literally don’t need to work to survive, but their parents control the purse strings and instill the need to “have a job” not “support yourself” from the time they are young. The wiring between work and reward and and value is all fucked up and fried because humans weren’t meant to live like that. Making choices and dealing with the fallout is kind of the entire point of life. If your choices don’t matter because it’s just your dad bitching at you to make them or your only motivation is your mom being passive aggressive/you want your friends to not laugh at you, then you don’t get to enjoy any of the rewards that come with good choices, so the protection from making a bad choice is worthless. You’re a bratty kid who just keeps getting older and fatter and more embarrassing,.
And then there are the parents themselves. Children are resilient, but imagine having two high status parents, who are neurotic and probably Jewish as fuck, who can pay all the au pairs in france to nanny you so you don’t become the “Cokehead kid” of the social circle, but are too rich and crazy and alienated from normal life to be good parents even if they cared to try?
I think the most typical outcomes are:
1. I’m gonna out-daddy my daddy and then he will be obligated to admit that he loves me. (Donald trump did this with Fred, mostly men not women)
2. I am going to fuck up and humiliate you by making you answer awkward questions at parties when people ask if I’m doing well in my latest rehab until I OD (Steven spielberg’s adopted daughter didn’t do this… but I can’t imagine how many calls his assistant had to make to keep her little public announcement from Picking up steam in the press. There’s plenty of examples of #2 though)
3. I am too lazy to do #1 and even though I blame you both for everything in my life that is bad, I didn’t have access to heroin early enough (thanks Nannies!) for it to destroy my self preservation instincts. I am also too ugly to be a model or actor. Journalism it is! I can just do unpaid internships until they hire me and to do the social media beat!
At least this is my own personal cope.
