The richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% of the world's population put together. That’s according to an Oxfam report released last year. Al Jazeera has also reported that there are at least 58 million US dollar millionaires walking the earth, or sailing the seas, or private-jetting the skies. Or all in one day... The rich really are in a class of their own, and too often it seems they aren’t learning much when it comes to how the majority of the global population lives. Money can’t buy brains. And it certainly can’t buy awareness.
When someone asked, “What’s the most out-of-touch thing a rich person has said to you?” the replies were astounding. From the downright ignorant to the plain old rude, you’d be forgiven for wanting some of these folk to take their private jets and go inhabit a planet far, far away. Bored Panda has put together a list of the most bizarre statements to come out of the mouths of those with a golden spoon. A few might make you want to gag. We also spoke to WalletHub's financial writer and analyst Chip Lupo to get some tips for those who'd like to build some wealth of their own.
