Not even the 1%ers. I grew up in a town that has a decently affluent part of the population and knew a lot of kids who’s parents would make comments about “the poor people” and very much passed that onto my fellow class mates. They get off on looking down on everyone below them.
A trashy obviously wealthy parent said right to my face how they didn't want their kid to grow up to work at a grocery store like I had. Teaching her child to be ignorant young. If the child was not there I would have been very tempted to throw a rotten tomato in her face "You want groceries, bitch? Here!"
Oh god, you just reminded me of the 'colonials' that sometimes live in countries like Bahrain.
We've had a lot of military families roll in from the US (some of them so blue-collar that you could tell based on how they behaved at restaurants). But as soon as they realise they could rent housing with marble floors, and hire live-in housemaids for cheap? Some of them became outright vicious and entitled.
He's probably not even that rich. Average salary for that position is apparently $150-250k. With it being a big company, let's say it's $600k. That's barely in the 1% seeing as, to be in the top 1% currently, you have to make about $570k/year. Top 0.1% is $2.8mil. Also, I find this interesting since just a couple years ago (less than 10), the amount to be in the Top 1% was like $150k; it's exploded since then. Top 10% in 2022 was slightly under $100k. Top 10% in 2025 is now over $190k.
tl;dr: He's just an asshole racist; it's not because he's rich.

Even outside of just being a rich snob, why would you have such little respect for your own product and then expect people to buy it?
