When Do Rich Kids Realize They're Rich?: Jamie Johnson | Vanity Fair
When do children really begin to think the world is their oyster; I mean really taught the world is theirs to snatch?
A child of social position becomes accustomed early on to the expectation that people will purchase objects of desire. A young mentality gets shaped quickly in this way. Entertaining the possibility of owning a famous sports arena is not a common practice in average households. It is mainly the rich who think in such lavish terms. Determining the exact moment when the wellborn gain an awareness of their financial leverage could be an elusive task, but it definitely comes early in life, at least as early as age 6.
