Below, you’ll find some of the most jaw-dropping moments when rich folks were shamed online for their out-of-touch takes. Scroll down and upvote the ones that made your eyes roll the hardest!

It's a 4-floor palace, with a private pub, a private nightclub and a billiard room. The "garden" is effectively a park, with a second 5-bedroom, 350 years hold house in it for friends and guests. His neighbours are Jude Law and Liam Ghallagher. house-67e5...22e89b.jpg house-67e55f022e89b.jpg

    Whatever they claim they did in 2017, the company in FY2022 reported £844M in losses, had to negotiate a £2,8B loan, was put in administration in October 2023 when the investing bank found a "financial situation and operation [...] much opaquer and more complex than originally determined", went through multiple changes of ownership and was dissolved in 2025. Robert Bull had his house repossessed, for which he blamed "the Irish cartel".

    Poll Question

    Do you find public shaming of out-of-touch wealthy comments helpful?

    Yes, it raises awareness

    Sometimes, it can be effective

    Rarely, it's just for entertainment

    No, it's unnecessary
