Why are we obsessed with watching rich people? From reality shows and prestige dramas to TikTok billionaires’ kids and Instagram flexing, social media is flooded with content that idolizes extreme wealth.
In this video, I break down why we can’t stop watching the ultra-rich, the psychology of voyeurism, parasocial relationships, and upward social comparison, and what it means for our own spending habits and happiness.
We’ll look at the rise of creators like Becca Bloom, the cult of wealth online, and the dangerous impact of worshipping extreme consumption.
