Like, I didn't know until he asked me to go sit in his car... which is a 2018 Mercedes Benz with all the add-ons and these optional leather foot mats that are 10,000 EACH. What even the fuck??

Apparently, he's a millionaire independently of his parents who are also rich as shit. I thought to myself, "why is a rich kid going to a small time public university in Pittsburgh if he's so god damn loaded?" Well, he did it for fun. He wanted to "wear normal guy clothes, use a normal guy backpack, and go to normal guy school to see what it's like to be treated normally instead of like rich guy" [sic]. It's like an episode of Ouran Highschool Host Club I swear to fucking god.

Thoughts, CE?

My family's rich. It's not that big of a deal. If you let your money just sit in an account then the government tries to get their claws on it, so you're better off spending or investing it.

That's his business. And it sounds like he's enjoying living a normal life and wants to keep it that way. I would let him live his life. It's also quite unlike Haruhi, who actually was lower-middle class and who attended Ouran Academy on the back of a scholarship program that reached out to gifted students with limited funds.

I didn't mean exactly like it. With fictional work you can do whatever you want. This is real life and that's the best comparison I could draw. I meant it's akin to that episode when they go to the "commoner's supermarket" just to see what it's like. My friend is doing something similar. I don't think he's doing anything wrong or should do something better, it just shocked me that there really are people out there who are like that.

No, the whole point of him doing this was to escape that kind of judgement. He said he hates rich people who flaunt their money and would rather be treated as an equal. I didn't get the impression he was doing this out of simple curiosity, though I'm sure that was one element of it.

He probably didn't want to bother with the time and effort it takes to get a regular car just to drive around while he's in this country. I have a feeling that once he's done with school, he'll go back to China where his family lives.

He said he owns a few homes here, but I think they're just for living in, not for profit.

We should all meet at PAX East in Boston next year. @Error1355 goes there, but I go to Anime Boston a weekend before, so I can never make both. But next year, AB is exactly one year from tomorrow, and PAX is still in the first week of April.

My point is he's more of an acquaintance than a friend. He wouldn't just throw money around to hang out with me after I graduate. He wanted a taste of average American college student life. Using his riches to fly a jet or something to see me wouldn't jive with that. This isn't Junjou Romantica!
