Yeah, kid needs an allowance instead of a black card, and his parents need a spine.

Also, yeah, I knew a young girl, barely 19, snowboard instructor because her parents were ridiculously rich. Turns out they built it on a Ponzi scheme, they barely stayed out of prison, and her lifestyle came crashing down too. Wasn't her fault, but damn did the culture shock suck for her.

Not OP, but having worked for people with more money than anyone needs, I can say that they forget how to do mundane things because their time is much better spent doing the things only they can. Whether it be run their business, entertain the masses, win at sportsball, someone else does everything personal care related so they can be hyperfocused on what they do and the people in their lives.

One person I know is rich but not ultra-rich, has a million dollar home, but his money is really all he has. No real friends, not much family, never entertains in that expensive home, and overall he doesn't seem happy at all. His health is also rather poor. All it's going to net him in the end is being the richest man in the cemetery.

How old was the kid? Seems like taking his no-limit credit card might be a good start, or at least teach him to use it when he wants something.

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime.
