I think you and you dd have every right to feel offended at those snarky interactions...if was more about their own baggage and not your dd's.

Sadly, I just don't see it as bizarre because I've seen too much nastiness like this (I may be skewed. I'm a therapist). People often devalue the super rich that have inherited their fortune instead of "earning it". In fact, I think people tend to devalue the attributes and accomplishments of others (not all people, not all the time).

Isn't that what TMZ or The Enquiror is for? Exposing how NOT special rich and famous people really are?

Sigh. I love thinking up snarky (however slight) comebacks when my clients are dealing with a lot of passive aggression. Maybe you and she can brainstorm...that's usually thee best part. smile
