money drunk
A phrase describing the reality of folks who are so full of themselves due to their financial privilege that the distortion causes profound lapses in judgment.
My ultra-wealthy friend down in Texas has become money drunk, and therefore ultra-stupid about how he spends it; his most recent demonstration of this phenomenon was with his purchase of an exotic wild animal ranch he’s nicknamed “Big Nuggets Ranch!”
