I’m Not Ashamed To Be A Trust Fund Baby

Trust fund babies (like myself) deserve more respect.

It’s not acceptable to claim that we became wealthy purely because of our parents’ riches. That would be incorrect and a conspiracy theory.

How do I know? A small percentage of my wealth came from corporate America’s corruption and greed. I helped billion-dollar corporations increase their profit margins and double their stock price. And, of course, it didn’t take long for them to grovel at my feet. So, it wasn’t just my parents giving me money.

Fun fact: A study I conducted revealed that 99% of people who dislike trust fund babies are jealous. Once more, 86% of people I questioned on the street dislike billionaires because they have more wealth than the average citizen.

It’s Often Difficult To Be A Trust Fund Baby

We have to make really hard choices.

For example, last week, I had to decide whether to spend my summer vacation in The Bahamas or the Maldives. I also had to buy a new suit when my previous one got stained from drinking champagne with Elon Musk.
