Because it's "none of your fucking business".
My point is that the journalist was the guy who ought to have been awkward, but being a nosy scumbag looking for a story he is instead shameless in his flouting of social norms, and the other guy was clearly kinda embarrassed on his behalf.

I didn't think the wealthy cared about social norms.

Funny how the name Norman is both somehow mundane and threatens invasion.

Which just shows how viciously biased you are.
It really is astonishing how much pure hatred that envy can engender in people who otherwise have stable and comfortable lives.

You are making vast assumptions about me that you cannot back up.
Both in the quality and tone.

I'm willing to bet your life is broadly pretty comfortable.
I base that on the fact that you have time to waste on b3ta. Maybe I'm wrong.
How much do you earn?
Also, are my assumptions categorically any different to your odd assertion that rich people don't care about social norms. Given the number of rich people there are, how many multiples of your assumption exist in comparison to my individual ones?

Just over 5k
Partially disabled, still paying mortgage, extravagantly, i rescue cats.
Paradoxically, the very people reluctant to talk about earnings often spend them on conspicuous consumption and general emblems of wealth.

So, you own a house,
which means you're likely more comfortable than most people.
Certainly I'm guessing that you hate rich people, but I'm basing that off your statement that they don't care about social norms which is a rather mean thing to say about an entire class of people.
I'd just like to point out that, on a personal note, I very much respect anyone that rescues cats.

I don't envy wealth, it is the power that it can wield that disturbs me.
Buying things doesn't excite me, wealth brings its own problems.
I don't mind people having more that me, it does not diminish me as a person.

It disturbs me as well,
certainly there have been rich cunts who have abused their wealth and power and who deserve to be vilified, but what disturbs me more is the rather common assumption that just because someone is rich they also automatically deserve it.

You should not dignify this Muppet with your comments
Wasted time and energy.
