16 People Who Went To School With Celebs Or Rich Kids
We recently asked people of the BuzzFeed Community who attended school with wealthy or famous classmates to tell us their stories and what it was like. Here are their fascinating — and shocking — stories: "Went to high school with Brendon Urie of Panic! At the Disco. I was a senior, and he was a sophomore. I entered the band room during one of my off periods, and the guitar class was going on. Brendon was at the front, and the teacher was in his office. I had a good relationship with that teacher, so I sat in his office, motioned to the class, and asked, 'What's up with that?' And he answered, 'Oh, that kid can play guitar waaaay better than I can, so I let him teach it.'" "A politician who is now a famous and popular TV news show host was a grade ahead of me in late elementary school and early junior high. In 6th grade choir, he got a solo song to sing, 'An Apple For the Teacher.' He walked around singing with an apple in his hand; it was charming, and at the end, he gave it to his teacher, known as one of the mean ones. I emailed him through his show asking if he remembered it, but I never got a reply." "I went to Columbia University for graduate school, and most of my classmates were rich. Most of them were lovely people, and money wouldn't come up in class so much, but it was usually in nonchalant conversations and outings that I noticed a difference. For instance, when we'd go book shopping, my rich classmates would drop hundreds of dollars at the bookstore (we were all in a writing MFA program) and leave with a huge stack (mind you, these weren't required reading books; just books for fun). Whereas, I was constantly budgeting and living on my own with no help, so I would buy one or two (cheap!) books." "I went to a wealthy school district where many students were rich and acted entitled. One of my favorite instances of entitlement was when a group of boys in the back of my class were talking about their cars. One boy complained about how his mother refused to repair his Porsche because it was the third time he'd crashed it, and now, he had to cover the money for repairs and take his dad's car to school until he made up the money. He said his dad's car was terrible, and he didn't want to drive it every day. His dad's car was a BMW." "I went to high school with a contestant of Canadian Idol who won seventh place one season. I started at that high school the year he returned from Idol, and he was an absolute horror. He would literally approach teachers and ask, 'Do you KNOW who I AM?' when he got poor grades. He would stand in the lunch line commenting that he should have priority and that everyone in front of him should die, and he and his friends would constantly bully younger students." "In grade school, I had a classmate who would go to Italy every summer and then to Ireland for a month during the school year. He had a giant house that had almost seven bedrooms. And on top of that, we had uniforms at school, but he would always wear designer clothes on the days we didn't. He always had the newest game consoles and the flashiest things, but he'd swear up and down that he simply couldn't be rich. And this was similar to almost 80% of my school's student body." "In my first year of college, my dorm room was kitty-corner to Jordan Poole, who's now in the NBA, and fellow basketball star, Isaiah Livers. They mostly kept to themselves, but they had a habit of screaming at their video games at all hours of the night. They were right next to a stairwell, too, so it would echo onto different floors. Our RA repeatedly complained about them, but since they were varsity athletes, there wasn't much he could do. So it goes." "I went to a private elementary school where most of the kids came from parents who were either politicians, multi-millionaires, or both. Something that always surprised me was the extravagant birthday parties. Limos or party buses were typically rented out for the parties, and the parties usually had a surplus of food. I went to one party where they rented out an entire football stadium just for their son's 5th birthday. " "I grew up in the same friend group as the guys in Coheed and Cambria. Claudio and Travis were the sweetest, most down-to-earth, and genuine people I've known. I used to go to all their local shows when they were called Shabütie. Although I was just an acquaintance, I'm so happy for them and their success, and I love their music." "I go to a private school, and there was a girl whose family owned many different restaurants, and she was super rich. She had a whole lake in her backyard and a private jet, but you would never know she was rich until you went to her house because she would shop at thrift stores, bring barely any lunch, and just didn't act like it." "I had a child in my class whose dad was an NFL player. He picked them up whenever he wanted, including regularly over two hours late. But the day after, he'd bring food for the entire staff. I'd rather he'd just pick his kid up." "This girl pulled up to school on the first day of junior year in a Bentley convertible. First time I ever saw one in person. It was the closest I've ever gotten to a six-figure car." "I was diagnosed with autism and OCD at a young age. My parents enrolled me in private schools for people with disabilities throughout all of my schooling years. They could hardly afford it and often had to get financial help, but they also knew how badly the public school system would treat me. One school I went to was particularly wealthy, and all of the students had some form of neurological disability. A surprisingly high number of them were adopted. I remember visiting a student I became friends with and having to tell his mansion's private security, who seemed to have no understanding of communication difficulties, who I was so that I could be let in. Another had a private movie theater in his house with an elevator leading to it." "Went to a basic suburban Catholic high school but had rich classmates. I once watched a kid reach into his pocket to check his then-top-of-the-line iPhone 5, and a $20 bill floated to the ground along with it when he pulled the phone out. Kid glanced down, shrugged, checked his phone, and walked away. Fastest $20 I ever made. I was on scholarship there, if anyone cares." "When I was at school, there was this girl who had just moved to the country, and we became really close friends. For my birthday, she bought actual Dior! Her parents bought her Chanel perfumes and clothes whenever she wanted. It was actually wild whilst I was happy with my weekly allowance to go to the canteen lol." And finally... "I actually went to school with both — a private high school was the perfect breeding ground for rich and famous jerks. I knew this really smart kid who was well off, but he wasn't a showoff. He wore thrifted clothes and didn't have a mattress frame (his choice), but he LOVED tanks. He and his father went to an auction where their budget for a tank was $20,000. Another kid is a well-known YouTuber who quit his job because he got more money a week from views than his paycheck. Both are sweet boys, but sometimes, they said the most shocking things." Verrry interesting. If you went to high school or college with the wealthy or famous, what was your experience like?

The Porsche she was given after her 2021 US Open win was 'taken back' last year. Emma was spotted buying a coffee with coach Mark Petchey and mum Renee Zhai on the platform. A source said: 'This shows Emma's success has not got to her head, and she is still very much focused and down to Earth. Advertisement 'The train was the quickest way back to London, so she took it instead of asking for a car, which some other players would have done.' The unseeded and injury-hit ace will face teen starlet Mimi Xu, 17, in front of 12,000 fans today. Raducanu said she sees a lot of her younger self in her fellow Brit, but is confident of ending her Wimbledon debut at the first hurdle. Earlier in the week, Emma opened up on her relationship with Carlos Alcaraz. Advertisement It was recently announced that the superstar pair will be teaming up for the revamped US Open mixed doubles event in August. Raducanu, 22, set tongues wagging as she headed to Queen's to cheer on her new doubles partner at the swanky West London club. Emma Raducanu giggles as she addresses Carlos Alcaraz relationship ahead of Wimbledon And SunSport revealed that the "spark" between Alcaraz and Raducanu was the "talk of Queen's" the week prior. The British No1 missed the Spaniard's victory over Jiri Lehecka as she had headed to Eastbourne to play in her final event before Wimbledon. Advertisement Speaking before her round one match against Ann Li, Raducanu lifted the lid on her partnership with Alcaraz. After the world No2 joked that Raducanu "took a while" to give him a response, she said: "I mean, of course, I had to ask my team if they wanted me to play. "But for me, when he asked me, I was going to say yes, I just had to kind of go through the formality of asking my coach, so I didn't just make the decision." When it was put to Raducanu that fans have frequently joked that she and Alcaraz are "destined for each other", the British star laughed and replied: "I'm glad the internet is having fun and we're providing entertainment for everyone." Advertisement On how they became friends, Raducanu added: "I've known him for years and actually in Wimbledon 2021 it was like kind of the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021. "And I remember he was always playing the day before me and I was playing like the second day of the round. "And I would see him win and then I would have motivation to win and get myself into that position too. "And I remember he beat Stef [Tsitsipas] in the third round and it was like a big win, his breakout kind of win on a big stage and it was really cool to kind of, I guess, go through that tournament together and then I kept going through the US Open, but we were staying in touch for the whole time and yeah, it's nice."
