15 People Who Had Celebrity Or Rich Classmates
We recently wrote a post where people who went to school with celebrities and the ultra-rich revealed what it was like, and the stories were absolutely wild. In the comments, more readers revealed their experiences with wealthy (or famous) classmates, and it's fascinating. Here's what they had to say: "I went to multiple exclusive private schools in the LA area, and there were multiple celebrities and children of celebrities who attended. The most prominent one that comes to mind is when I was in the same class as Emma Roberts in fifth and sixth grade. She was out of school for a few months because she was filming Blow. She was a really nice girl and well-liked overall." "I went to a private high school with a member of the Kennedy family. This person was quite literally high all of the time, reeked of weed, rarely went to class, and broke every single code of conduct rule. Anyone else would have been expelled. It was tough for the rest of us who were highly motivated, hardworking, and just trying to make the most of the opportunity our education could give us." "I met a guy the first week of college who said he was still living with his parents. 'Doesn't that kind of cramp your style?' I asked. 'We have a big house,' he shrugged. It turned out that his father was a billionaire. He was fairly low-key about it, although he bought a new Mercedes every year." "I went to an international school in Asia for high school where the tuition was around $50,000 a year, so most of the kids were wildly rich (or, like me, had parents with jobs at embassies or companies that paid directly for their children's tuition). The kids I went to school with were generally the worst. I once overheard a guy complaining that he had to use all his 'spending money' to fix a table he had jumped on and broken while drunk. This was at a villa in Thailand that his parents had rented and paid for him to fly to for spring break. His spending money was like $3,000 (USD)." "I went to high school with someone who was in the NFL. He's retired now. He was super sweet. I was a freshman when he was a senior. I had my nose in a book, carrying more while walking down the hallway, and LITERALLY ran into him. I thought I hit a wall or a door. The force knocked me down, and all the books I held were scattered. He apologized to ME and immediately bent down to help me gather my books and help me up." "I grew up in a town with many wealthy families, so the public school was almost as snooty as a private school. We also had two private schools in the town. All the kids from one of the private schools looked at us 'townies' like we were dirt. They had uber-wealthy and famous people's rich kids. The other private school was full of rich, genius kids who were generally much nicer. My school was looked down on if you didn't have the newest fashion." "I went to an all-girls Catholic boarding school where some were rich and the others worked on campus to pay their tuition. I was the latter. There was a girl whose father gifted her a Bentley convertible on her 16th birthday. She totaled it within a couple of months, so he bought her another one. This continued until she was on her fifth-plus Bentley, so her dad just arranged to have a private driver ready for her at all times." "In my freshman year of college, there was a geography course taught in a big lecture hall. The TAs would have a few classes of 10–20 each, and I sat in the front of the class, but I noticed a classmate behind and across from me who was being asked for autographs and quietly signing a few for other students. I didn't recognize him, but I realized that he might have been a basketball or football player (this was a Division A school)." "Went to high school with someone who became a bona fide supermodel and married into royalty. In school, she was kind, quiet, and nerdy. She did well in class and was very, very low-key (came from a middle-class family). Great things happened to a great person; no notes." "In the '70s, my mom attended a prestigious private high school in Los Angeles, but was given scholarship funds to attend. We have a family story: My mom started wearing a UCSD sweatshirt after visiting her sister at UC San Diego. She lost it, and the next day, she saw it being worn by Jamie Lee Curtis!" "My bestie is actually pretty rich. She would never act like it, except when we go to the mall together, and she buys, like, 10 different things from Lululemon that all cost $100. Her house is huge, but she is the sweetest person alive." "My high school was one of the top 10 in income and testing in the country. Still, many kids went to private schools nearby in the same suburb. The wealthiest families bought real estate, books, and art — stuff that could be passed down to future generations — and made donations to cultural and religious entities, often anonymously. Many of the kids who had cars worked for them, usually at family businesses during the summer. None had office jobs or were made supervisors. They sweated and appreciated how money was made." "One time in high school, the son of a representative locked a substitute teacher out of the classroom. Then, he climbed out the window to play soccer on the roof with the rest of the class. The sub spent the whole class period knocking on the classroom door, but no one let her in because they were all on the roof messing around. The representative's son was the ring leader of that incident." "I don't come from a super wealthy area, but some families here were able to grow their wealth or have generational wealth. Of course, one of the biggest indicators of wealth here is what kind of car you drive, especially when you're a teenager. You could always tell whose parents had a lot of money by what car the kid drove to school. There was one kid I remember: He was two grades below me and drove a brand-new Ford F-350 — diesel, long bed, extended cab — probably one of the biggest trucks on the market at the time. It was lifted and had aftermarket wheels on it. Honestly, it was ridiculous and stood out in the parking lot like a sore thumb. This kid was obnoxious, always yelling in the hallways, either at his friends or the school staff, taking up four parking spots at a time, or whipping donuts in the back of the parking lot." And finally... "My family isn't particularly wealthy, but my siblings and I all went to private school for at least a few years and brushed elbows with some exceedingly rich people. One family was redoing their house (by knocking it down and restarting from scratch), but instead of renting another place to live like normal people, they bought a nearby house to live in for the year, then sold it for a profit when their original construction was completed. Another family bought all three houses on a cul-de-sac, knocked them down, and built a giant mansion across all three properties. My brother had a kid in his grade whose family is obscenely wealthy. For his 13th birthday, he had a huge party with monogrammed barstools and personalized duffel bags as party favors." Honestly, wow.

Combat couture: Gen Z blasted as ‘messed up' for flaunting viral ‘World War III' camo outfits
War — what is it good for? Fashionably stuntin', according to tone deaf Gen Zers. Committed to looking bomb amid the mounting friction between the US and Iran, carefree clotheshorses are curating cutesy 'World War III' ensembles ahead of the potential bloodshed. 'What I'm wearing to WW3,' Paulina, a NYC influencer, wrote in the closed-captions of a vid, donning an oversized military camouflage shirt. Following a few quick 'fit changes, the platinum blond went on to pose in a camo-inspired bikini, meant to 'distract the enemy,' before flaunting mini shorts paired with a chunky belt, a brown one-shoulder shirt and an army fatigue jacket. As a posh pièce de résistance, she closed the virtual fashion show in camo-colored pants with a matching baseball cap, a chocolate crop top and flip flops. And Paulina's no lone soldier in the doomsday dressing charge. It's a contemporary, albeit controversial, Gen Z fad that's being hailed both 'iconic' and idiotic. In the days since Israel's preemptive strike against Iran on June 13, prompting President Trump to target three of the nation's nuclear facilities Saturday, twentysomethings have turned the turmoil into TikTok tomfoolery. 3 Mortified social media users have blasted the World War III fashion trends, calling its Gen Z promoters 'sick' and 'messed up.' STAN GILLILAND/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock Armed with pop star Kesha's hit track 'Blow' as the soundtrack to their social media silliness, and '#WW3' as their unifying tag, goofball youngsters are making light of the mayhem with military draft jokes and overseas shopping quips. 'Is this gonna affect my SHEIN order?' a single-minded Zoomer commented, referring to potential pandemonium. 3 Avery plans to wow in skimpy camo fits should World War III erupt. @ 'I wanted a summer glow up, not a summer blow up,' another teased. The seriousness of the global situation aside, the newcomers to adulthood — especially those with penchants for pizzazz — are combatting the chaos in combat couture. 'First war kinda nervous,' Avery, a digital tastemaker, captioned a clip featuring her WW3 wardrobe, which includes a camouflage mini skirt and an army green bomber jacket. 3 Apson showed off his military-inspired style in a slew of eye-catching looks. @apsonarmy/TikTok Apson, a Tiktok-verified virtuoso, scored over 3.9 million views on his wartime wardrobe, sporting a head-to-toe green two-piece, as well as a distressed top and jeans getup. Christina, a stay-at-home mom of two, turned cyber heads with her World War III gear. However, unfortunately for the fashion plate, her call-of-duty-inspired cosplay also turned a few stomachs. 'Do you realize how sick and messed up in the head you have to be to come up with stuff like this?' questioned a commenter beneath Christina's post. 'Lives are at stake,' the peeved protester added. 'The future of our world is unfolding in front of us and YOU POST THIS?.' 'WTF is WRONG WITH YOU???.'

Johnny Depp Says He Was a "Crash Test Dummy for #MeToo" and Has 'No Regrets' Facing Off Amber Heard in Court
Yara Sameh Johnny Depp said he was 'crash test dummy for #MeToo' in a new interview with The Sunday Times as he sets out to promote the U.K. theatrical release of his latest directorial effort, 'Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness.' Depp was referring to the allegations first leveled at him in 2016 by ex-wife Amber Heard, who accused him of domestic violence when she filed for divorce. Heard's allegations notably fed into two trials that garnered global attention. Depp brought a libel lawsuit against The Sun in 2018 after the publication referred to him as a 'wife beater.' The trial kicked off in summer 2020 and ended with the court determining that the characterization of Depp as a 'wife beater' was 'substantially true.' Later in the year, Depp exited Warner Bros.' 'Fantastic Beasts' franchise after saying the studio asked him to resign from the role in the aftermath of the trial. A second and even more highly-publicized trial took place in the U.S. in 2022 after Depp sued Heard in 2019 for defamation over an op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post in which she referred to herself as 'a figure representing domestic abuse.' The 2022 trial was live-streamed on YouTube and became an online sensation. The jury ultimately ruled that Heard did defame Depp in the op-ed, while also ruling Depp defamed Heard in the course of fighting back against her charges. Throughout the trial, shocking details about Depp and Heard's personal lives were revealed. 'Look, it had gone far enough,' Depp reflected on the viral 2022 trial. 'I knew I'd have to semi-eviscerate myself. Everyone was saying, 'It'll go away!' But I can't trust that. What will go away? The fiction pawned around the fucking globe? No it won't. If I don't try to represent the truth it will be like I've actually committed the acts I am accused of. And my kids will have to live with it. Their kids. Kids that I've met in hospitals. So the night before the trial in Virginia I didn't feel nervous. If you don't have to memorize lines, if you're just speaking the truth? Roll the dice.' Depp said he survived 'all the hit pieces, the bullshit' that accompanied the trial, adding: 'Look, none of this was going be easy, but I didn't care. I thought, 'I'll fight until the bitter fucking end.' And if I end up pumping gas? That's all right. I've done that before.' A few years after the end of the U.S. trial, Depp is now getting the chance to come back to Hollywood by starring opposite 'Blow' co-star Penelope Cruz in the Lionsgate action comedy 'Day Drinker.' He told the Times about his life: 'I have no regrets about anything — because, truly, what can we do about last week's dinner? Not a fucking thing.' 'Day Drinker' is scheduled to release in theaters sometime in 2026. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
