rich

Atherton is a quiet and beautiful town located on the San Francisco Peninsula. It looks like it could be just another idyllic town anywhere in the US, but what sets Atherton apart from the rest is that it is one of the country's most affluent towns. It was voted the wealthiest town in America for three years in a row, with the average household income over $450,000. Alright for some, eh?

With that sort of wealth comes exceptionally high levels of security, which results in low levels of crime. Someone collected all the Atherton crime reportings, and honestly, they sound like they were written by a seven-year-old who was trying to sound scary but failed big time. Rich people problems, amirite? Check them out; they're hilarious.

Being super-wealthy (and we're talking Jeff Bezos the founder of Amazon kind of wealthy), has its perks - the most obvious being that you can buy whatever you want, whenever you want. But one of the lesser-known hardships of being one of the richest men in the world is that it's actually harder than you think to spend that sort of money. A hilarious Twitter thread by Metro UK shows just how difficult it is to spend Bezos' net worth, which happens to be $189.3 billion. Read on and laugh, and be grateful that you don't have such a struggle in your life...

When you have a lot of wealth, it's important that your kids understand the value of money. It can be hard for the average parent not to spoil their kids, but when you have unlimited cash, the test is even harder and it's not one that everyone passes. Rich Kids of Instagram is a platform for wealthy kids - or, more realistically, kids with wealthy parents - to show off their incredible assets to the rest of the world. Casually posing by their Bentleys and Rolls Royces with wads of cash and Rolex watches, is just another day in the life of these spoilt children who have no concept of the value of... anything, really. But it's fine, we're not jealous or bitter at all.

If you've never heard of The Royal Ascot, don't worry you aren't alone. Apparently, The Royal Ascot is an annual five-day horse-race meeting held on a course outside of London, England, with racehorses competing for millions of dollars in prizes. (Yup! MILLIONS) It's also a major event for not only racing fans but, for the fashion as well. The even is also regularly attended by Queen Elizabeth II and other royalties! So, it's not a surprise that many go above and beyond in the name of fashion... but have these hats gone a little too far? One thing for sure, they are hilarious to look at!
