Oh I know some people with that attitude..actually a few too many.Whilst many attribute this to the  nouveau riche even those who have have been born into wealthy families can posess such foolishness. It is sickening really when you consider the trials and struggles many are enduring the world over. I guess thats why even in Islam we are adviced not just to pray for wealth but also the wisdom to use the wealth judiciously without pomp and wastage!
