Did you grow up rich? Or know someone who did?

I think pretty much everyone went to school with someone who just seemed like their parents had more money than god... and I think we all assumed that kid would grow up to be rich, too. But you know what? That's not always the case!

Often, the parents will lose the money. This is NOT uncommon. (Remember the Coopers from 'The OC' ??)

Other times, parents don't always support their kids financially after childhood, and the kids grow up to be mediocre, and the parents let them be (LOVE THIS).

On Reddit, someone posed the question, “People who grew up rich but turned out poor what is your story?”

The answers were interesting, sad, crazy and sometimes, down right juicy! Check them out below!
