Basically, when wealthy people have trouble grasping concepts that are a way of life for people without money. These people have been spoiled and sheltered all their lives, and have had all these things taken care of for them, so when they try to do these things (by choice or not), they just don't understand how to do it. Often this puts them in the position of The Troublemaker. Usually this is Played for Laughs since it's a form of saying "Money can't buy common sense". Yet it can be Played for Drama, particularly if the character, through no choice of their own, lived in a Gilded Cage and so is not to blame. The situation is sometimes accentuated to the point of hilarity or tragedy when such a character suddenly goes broke and is forced to face the realities of working-class (or worse) existence. The Prince and Pauper often has the 'prince' facing this problem. Can overlap with: Socialite: Most instances are, if the character is a wealthy lady with nothing much to do except attending gala events Upper-Class Twit: If this character doesn't really do much, even by upper-class standards, and is dumb as a post Valley Girl: If this character is fashion-obsessed, in love with shopping and gossiping, and inarticulate Rich Bitch: If this wealthy character is also malicious and arrogant and looks down on the less affluent King Incognito: If the royal is doing a poor job of blending in Sheltered Aristocrat: A young and rich noble who can be either malicious, naive, or stupid Royal Brat: Spoiled youngster or teen from a royal family Lonely Rich Kid: Rich kid who is very isolated and longs for attention from their family and to have more friends Spoiled Sweet: Sweet, pampered, and naive girl who has a good heart while lacking in common sense. The Ditz: If this character's ignorance and air-headedness would be at least somewhat present even if they weren't rich Nouveau Riche: If a lower-class character becomes wealthy and is very crass about it Lots of Luggage: Considers excess items and luxuries as "necessities", especially when camping Ms. Red Ink: If the character is a woman who has no understanding of personal finance and a love of spending Money Dumb: A character that has no understanding of how to manage their money Too Important to Remember You: Not even bothering to remember basic details about their lessers This does apply in Real Life, but no specific examples will be put here to avoid Natter. And in some cases, contrary to the usual course of the trope where it's someone who is born into money, this can happen to people who were originally poor only to gain money. Unfamiliar with the amount of money they now possess, they do silly things, resulting in A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted. A Sub-Trope of Idle Rich and Captain Oblivious. A Super-Trope to City Mouse. Compare Fish out of Water. Contrast Country Mouse, Non-Idle Rich. |

In Heralds of Valdemar, this is a regular occurrence with young Herald Trainees from privileged backgrounds. One infamous example involves a boy being set to stuff a chicken for dinner and confusedly replying that it already is stuffed— with its guts; he becomes the target of ribbing for weeks (to the point it gets mentioned to a new trainee a few years after the incident). All such incidents are played for a combination of laughs and sympathy because he still qualifies to be Chosen. | |

In the season 2 finale of Party Down, Constance inherits a fortune when her rich husband dies. In the Season 3 revival a decade later, it's shown Constance is still rich, which is amazing considering how she barely understands money. It's summed up when Ron asks for "ten grand" and is stunned by the check. | |

The Simpsons: Mr. Burns was lost in the "real world" when he lost his fortune. There is also the time that he started to do things on his own. Hilarity Ensues. Mr. Burns temporarily subverted this trope when he was attacked by Homer after Homer was put in charge during Smithers' vacation (Smithers expected Homer to do such a terrible job that Mr. Burns would be glad to have him back on his return, and not have to worry about losing his job). Smithers is proven right, but Homer goes beyond being bad and punches Mr. Burns after reaching his limit. Mr. Burns becomes so terrified of Homer he is forced to learn to do things himself (actually thanking Homer for this later) and fires Smithers when he comes back. Things go back to normal when Homer injures Burns again, requiring Smithers to take care of him (with Smithers sending Homer a fruit basket as thanks). |

Parks and Recreation: Basically the entire city of Eagleton. This is a town so well off (a volcanic vein allows them to have palm trees in Indiana) that they fill their pools and water lawns with bottled water, literally pave their streets with gold and even the garbage men are in a high-income tax bracket. And yet, they remain completely stunned when they have to file for bankruptcy and merge with Pawnee. Flush with cash from a settlement, Jean-Ralphio and Tom go in on Entertainment 720, a major promotion company. They buy a huge complex with video games, basketball court, and more, hired NBA players with no responsibilities, and kept a huge amount of models and employees, giving them free iPads and other items. When Ben is called in to look at their finances, he's stunned to see how they're spending lavishly with no business model. Paul Rudd's character is heir to the Sweetums fortune and has the intellect of a 10-year-old. This becomes particularly alarming when he runs for mayor of Pawnee against Leslie. When he tries to vote during the election, he's unable to operate the voting machine and wanders into Leslie's booth for help, whining, "I don't get it!" |

Tales Series: Luke Fon Fabre of Tales of the Abyss starts out like this, as an effect of his Laser-Guided Amnesia and the fact that ever since he lost his memory, he hasn't been allowed outside his parents' manor. As a result, he doesn't even know how to buy things at a shop. Played for Laughs with Dohalim il Qaras in Tales of Arise. Being from a noble upbringing, he doesn't quite understand the value of gald in Dahna. Often showing off expensive trinkets bought with the party's cash reserves. Thankfully, it does not actually effect your gald total. |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: While Emil is no longer rich in dollars, the poor in sense part is shown to be alive and well in some of his early scenes. He first hauls his luggage up a bunch of stairs, when the building actually had an elevator. He also turns out to have come to greet his new Finnish crewmates a day early because he aimed for the day their boat would be leaving from Finland and not the day it would be arriving in Sweden. The contents of his suitcase only add to this: military-grade Demolitions Expert explosives, that he's not supposed to bring into civilian quarters without a permit. No, he does not have the permit in question. Not helping matters is that all his private tutors lied through their teeth because they were getting paid too much to coddle Emil and not screened for actual credentials. As a result, he's thoroughly educated in fabricated bullshit, and it prevents him from learning 'what he already studied more than the commoners' like common sense and elementary subjects. |

Inventing Anna is based on the true story of Anna Delvey who successfully scammed hundreds of thousands of dollars from socialites by posing as one herself. She series makes it clear that Anna succeded not because she was a criminal mastermind but because every one of her marks was so used to throwing money around, they had no trouble giving her more and not one of them thought to look into her background. | |

Grand Hotel: Santiago prides himself on how he worked his way from a dishwasher to the owner of a posh Miami hotel. His wife, Gigi, also had to do some hard work to be successful. While Santiago's daughter, Alicia, follows his path in work, it's obvious that his son, Javi, and Gigi's daughters, Carolina and Yoli, are all spoiled rotten and not understanding what it's like to not live without money. This comes up with a staff strike forces all three to take jobs at the hotel. To his credit, Javi is able to grasp being a maintenance man and even takes over when his supervisor goes to the hospital. However, Carolina has no idea how to handle the simple job of restaurant hostess while the usually sensible Yoli is mopping floors in high heels. |

A Mother's Touch: Yoko Sakaki points out that Reiji Akaba's plan to take Yuya's Pendulum cards for himself exposes him as this. He's supposedly a teen CEO in the vein of Seto Kaiba, master of three Extra Deck Summonings. But instead of asking to see the cards for himself, or even paying some royalties for Yuya, Reiji instead decides to either 1) have some other student steal the cards and let four children nearly die from an Action Duel or 2) agree to false accusations of her son attacking Sylvio (when it was Yuto) and force Shuzo to sell You Show in exchange...without realizing or reading the fine print that Shuzo is only the principal of You Show, not co-owner like Yoko is. | |

Freefall has idiotic Corrupt Corporate Executive Mr. Kornada, who plainly doesn't understand why he was arrested - after all, the plan he commissioned (no, it's not his plan, he's far too dumb to come up with it) would have lobotomized almost half a billion robots, crippled Jean's terraforming (if not outright dooming everyone), and cheated countless investors to make him the richest man on the planet, sure, but it didn't work, so it's all right, isn't it? He's also completely deluded as to how the legal system works, thinking he can use lemon laws to complain about his trial for the aforementioned snafu and get a refund for the massive fines he got slapped with. | |

Phase/Ayla Goodkind from the Whateley Universe, raised in a super-rich but sadly mutant-phobic family and only fully realizing just how good he had had it when disowned by them and left to fend for himself upon manifesting. Played sympathetically, though, as he's deliberately doing his best to adapt and where possible even improve conditions for others. ("Goodkinds don't complain, they fix things.") It helps that even with the "pittance" his family begrudgingly paid him to go away and keep quiet he's still one of the richest and most finance-savvy students on campus; does have to use the same facilities as everybody else, though... | |

In one episode of Elementary, one murder victim was a rather rich doctor as well as a Crazy Survivalist. Before his death, he had been successfully scammed into investing in a "high-class survival compound" full of crumbling materials and empty supply boxes. Another episode has eccentric millionaire Baskerville bringing Holmes and Watson on a case of a man who seemed to predict the deaths of people with Holmes coming up soon. After Holmes survives, he and Watson go over the man's book to find that several pages of wrong predictions were torn out. They go to Baskerville who relates how he just paid a hefty price to the man's brother for a copy of the book. The duo instantly realize this whole thing was an elaborate con. Baskerville is talking of the "great responsibility" of knowing the future, not grasping he spent $4 million on the ramblings of a madman. |

The Ripple System: Downplayed; Ned is mostly pretty grounded, but his friends give him a look when he doesn't understand why poor people would stay in a city under siege. It has to be explicitly pointed out to him that most of them don't have the money to leave. Kline walks around with no shoes and no shirt, and thinks it's fine because he has no body odor. Ned and Frank point out that this is obviously false, but no one has told him otherwise because he's rich. |

In Marry Me (2022), pop superstar Kat Valdez demonstrates a comparatively minor example of this when trying to get to her estranged husband Charlie and his daughter Lou after ending her interview on The Tonight Show; she only realises that she forgot to bring her passport once she's at the airport, tries to buy another passenger's ticket without knowing that's illegal, attempts to get champagne for the other passengers flying coach, doesn't know where to find "cars" (taxis) at the destination airport, and even ended up buying someone's coat because she ran out of the aforementioned interview in a fancy but impractical dress. | |

Metalocalypse: Dethklok had trouble shopping at the supermarket, or "food library", as they thought it was called. In fact, most episodes are about them trying to do things outside their comfort zone. This despite the fact that their music isn't exactly the kind clueless rich people would play. In Tributeklok it's suggested that they forgot how to live like poor people because being poor is awful, right before they blow off a tribute gig to go back to eating expensive gourmet food. | |

The Karma of Lies has this Played for Drama with Adrien: Because his family is so wealthy, Adrien has no real concept of the value of money, or what it's like for his peers who can't afford to buy whatever they want on a whim. As a result, he doesn't see anything wrong with letting Lila con his classmates. Despite Plagg repeatedly trying to warn him that his friends don't have the same amount of disposable income, Adrien repeatedly blows him off, insisting everything will work out because he wants it to. Adrien's also used to being shielded from the full consequences of his actions and sees no reason for that to change... meaning he's caught completely off-guard when his Karma Houdini Warranty runs out. His inability to grasp financial matters is also Justified by his father being an absolute Control Freak: Gabriel has delibrately prevented his son from being able to access any money, including his own wages from working as a model. This bites Gabriel in the backside after he's exposed as Hawkmoth and arrested, as Adrien consequently gains access to one account: the Agreste emergency funds. Which, it's eventually revealed, were hidden so that the police weren't aware of their existence until Adrien reported that they'd been cleaned out. Something which only happened in the first place because Adrien accessed the account in front of Lila, having never been warned against entering passwords where others can see. Lila also Exploits this in multiple ways. In addition to taking advantage of Adrien's ignorance and Lack of Empathy for his less fortunate classmates, she pretends to be a Nouveau Riche kid while withdrawing the money she stole from the emergency account, making it appear that she's just a Spoiled Brat engaged in Conspicuous Consumption. |

Hayate the Combat Butler: Nagi and Maria show this pretty well, though Maria is just Nagi's maid. When Hayate suggests using the subway, they're amazed. Nagi has gotten better about it due to Hayate's teaching. When Hayate is asked to go away for three days, he's given a million yen (about $10,000) for living expenses. He tries to protest, saying he could live in the lap of luxury for a year with that kind of money.note This wouldn't actually be a lot of money for most people (if asked to live on it for a year), but Hayate has spent about half his life being the primary breadwinner for his worthless and wasteful parents, so just being away from them probably counts as luxurious. Maria asks him to not bring any of it back. On their trip through Greece, they use a helicopter. When Ayumu asks how expensive it is, Maria casually lists off a number in the billion yen figure. |

In Mean Girls, Regina George, the Queen Bee of the Plastics, is a very specific example. She can rattle off several weight loss products that are (mostly) illegal and most of which either were expensive before being banned or would be expensive to ship from countries where they're still legal—and yet she doesn't even know enough about health and nutrition to know whether or not something like butter is a carb (hint: it's not). | |

In Final Fantasy XIV, Alphinaud Leveilleur is from one of the wealthiest and most influential families in Sharlayan. While he does have Sharlayan's famed centers of knowledge for his education, when it comes to costs, what funds are available to him, and their source, he has an occasional habit of shrugging it off without a second thought. This ends up getting him in trouble twice, once for drama and later on for laughs. The drama comes in the finale of A Realm Reborn, from his lack of attention to the source of the Crystal Braves' funding, allowing for the Monetarists of Ul'Dah to gain vast amounts of influence with the Crystal Braves' second-in-command Ilberd and his loyalists, leading to them betraying the Scions of the Seventh Dawn and nearly destroying the order. Later in Stormblood, this gets played for laughs in the latest Running Gag of "Alphinaud gets served a slice of humble pie", when he absolutely pisses off Tataru by choosing to repurchase Gosetsu's katana, which the old samurai had pawned off for his own funds, while thinking it should be no problem for the Scions' coffers to cover the costs as a favor for one of their friends without even bartering a single gil down. It turns out, much to Alphinaud's horror, that a katana of a high-ranking samurai can be worth as much as a brand new and fully furnished home, and the Scions are not as well off as the Leveilleur family. |

Undercover Boss features the owner/CEO/president of a large corporation working anonymously (with a cover story given as to why a camera crew is following this person around) at an entry-level job within the corporation. It's fairly common for them to be really bad at it. The premiere episode actually featured the company president's fake identity getting fired by his supervisor for being so inept at his job... of cleaning out Porta-Potties. | |

Rajesh Koothrappali in The Big Bang Theory. Hailing from a very rich family in India, he was known for spending lavishly on minor details (For example, he paid premium pedicure for his dog and was a regular donor to a Koala zoo and he didn't even know which one), and had no idea that his father was paying his rent. He wises up after learning this and takes another job at the planetarium (which became very popular) and straight away asks his father to cut his allowances (which Howard estimated in hundreds of thousands of dollars per month). | |

The first time she comes over to Anya's home to visit, she is shocked by how "small" the three bedroom apartment Anya lives in is, stating that she mistook the living room for a storage closet and that Anya's bedroom (which is actually fairly spacious for a child's bedroom) is smaller than the room Becky's dog sleeps in. Of course, Becky is only six. | |

Arche's parents from the Baharuth Empire in Overlord (2012) reek of this. They racked up lot of debts while continuing to live their lavish lifestyles, even when the Emperor himself deposed them from their former aristocracy for being typically useless. They also had the gall of berating Arche, their sole earner, for not behaving like a 'true aristocrat'. Then Arche dies at the hands of Nazarick while pulling One Last Job to take her sisters away from them. They are so out-of-touch and ungrateful that even the loan shark is pretty much disgusted at them (while acknowledging they make excellent targets). | |

As you would expect, Not Always Right is full of stories about extremely cheap customers trying to weasel their way into getting a discount. However, on the other end of the spectrum, there are just as many extremely stubborn customers who insist on paying full price even when there is a sale or discount in effect, usually due to some paranoid belief that all store employees everywhere are constantly trying to rip people off, and therefore everything they say must be some kind of trick. "Yes, ma'am, there is a 'buy-one-get-one-free' sale today. No, ma'am, this is not a scheme. Okay, fine, pay full price, it's your money." This potential employer from Not Always Working is completely bewildered by an unemployed applicant's explanation that they are living on savings from their previous job. Unsurprisingly, the applicant books it. |

This is really showcased when a Ponzi scheme causes many of these characters to lose much of their money. One man goes to a grief counselor for his yacht; a woman is literally unable to decide what art she likes without a paid expert; another woman seriously compares which property to sell off to Sophie's Choice; and hospitals are being filled with people burning and cutting themselves having to make their own meals for the first time. Having lost just about everything, Jill's mother-in-law lives with the family and talks about waking up at eleven in the morning "like a day laborer" and literally no idea how to clean up a room by herself. |

This is echoed in The Apprentice. a schadenfreude-laden delight of this show lies in watching people with big dreams and wholly inflated confidence in their own abilities consistently fouling up at doing the simplest possible things - then blaming everybody but themselves for their own misfortunes. The glee is tempered somewhat when the realisation sets in that whatever they do they are bound to end up as highly placed executives and managers in the sort of companies where lesser mortals do the real work - for a lot less reward. And then you look at your own bosses in a new light... | |

The Disney Ducks Comic Universe has a majority of the "lesser" members of the billionaire's club, who often look at Rockerduck's spendrift antics and Scrooge's largest schemes and decide to compete with them, forgetting that Rockerduck could casually buy out most countries and Scrooge is even wealthier and they have the business sense and skills to maintain and increase said wealth. A classic example came when Scrooge decided to bring asteroids in Earth orbit through disposable rockets and mine them for resources and some of them pooled their funds to compete and went to do the job personally as Scrooge was doing with his nephews and Gyro, forgetting that Donald and the triplets actually have the skills for it to work and that Gyro is a genius, and even decided to steal one of the asteroids Scrooge was claiming by diverting its orbit before Scrooge could... Not realizing Scrooge was taking his time because the calculations for it to enter Earth orbit and stay there rather than fall down were just that complicated. It resulted in the asteroid almost falling on Duckburg and Scrooge using his rockets to send the asteroid away from Earth's orbit and the billionaires, caught in the act by a scientific probe, being heavily fined and barred from outer space. Subverted with Scrooge and Rockerduck's antics: they may be really expensive and at times ridiculous, but not only they can afford them and the losses they could bring if they backfired, they actually prepare for them, with Scrooge's weirder business enterprises invariably starting with him consulting an expert (usually Gyro or Ludwig) to see if they're feasible and only starting pouring money into it once he has a positive answer (with the implication that at times they told him it couldn't work and he just dropped his plans). |

In Arc Corp, Jaune has been working for the incredibly prosperous Family Business since he was a child, and has a very stilted view of how much Lien is worth, casually spending thousands upon suits. He also expresses remorse that Blake is "only" making 180,000 Lien annually, when the average salary is 60,000 (or 25,000 for minimum wage). Though given what kind of horrors Arc Corp regularly faces, his fears that he isn't paying Blake enough for her service might be justified... | |

However, Willard's family is rich enough, and he himself business-savvy enough, that he actually can afford to spend the way he does, and even his most hare-brained spending usually yields some form of return (though not necessarily a monetary one). | |

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Sylvester when he goes to tag along with a group of orphans to go hunt in the commoner forest: He gets his hands on poor commoner clothes and relatively tattered boots to use as a disguise but thinks nothing of bringing his clearly expensive bow and keeping his ponytail bound in a hair accessory that is clearly made out of silver. He turns out to have not brought any rope to hang his kills. The orphans need to teach him how to wash his hands in a river. The one person on the trip who knows who he really is scrambles to get a proper lunch prepared for Sylvester after noticing that he didn't think of this himself and that the lunch everyone else is having isn't going to work for him. That same person is also very grateful when one of the adult orphans takes the initiative of improvising a table for Sylvester. |

Michael Sevenson is the son of a wealthy baron in the Knight and Rogue Series, and even though he's been traveling and earning his own money for a year by the start of the books seems to have no ability to estimate the value on anything. Fisk often has to stop him from paying with the largest gold currency what's only worth the smallest brass coin. | |

In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc's School Mode, the otherwise very intelligent Byakuya Togami mentions that while he's heard of them, he's never seen a toy-dispensing machine up close before. He finds the Monokuma-themed machine inside the school store intriguing enough to demand that Naegi show him as much as possible about how they work, which happens to be one of the select few conversations he has where he's not being condescending and narcissistic as usual. | |

Mr. Toad in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad sure counts as he wastes his fortune on his wild "manias". In fact, he gets arrested because no one believes his claims he would actually trade his hundred-thousand-pound worth manor for a motorcar. It's even debatable on the "rich" part, given how much damage he has to pay for from his antics. | |

In Jesus' Parable of the Foolish Farmer in the gospel of Luke, a farmer ends up with such a bountiful crop that he doesn't know what to do with it until he decides to tear down his barns, build bigger ones to store his surplus, and then just live off that for years, only for God to tell him, "Fool! This night your soul will be required of you. Then whose will those things be that you have provided for yourself?" Jesus ends the parable by saying, "So it is with the person who stores up treasure for himself, and yet is poor in God's sight." (Luke 12:21) | |

It all comes calling in the series finale when Liam breaks it to the gang that all this wild overspending and bad investments has rendered him near-bankrupt and he has to sell off Vuugle to pay his debts. | |

30 Rock: Tracy Jordan was likely poor in sense even before he got rich, but he's certainly no good with money now. He wears shirts made out of money and shoes made out of gold. GE executive and Man of Wealth and Taste Jack Donaghy often displays this. An example is when his nanny wants to work fewer hours with the same pay, and Jack likens it to a "grocery concierge" revealing that a 5-pound bag of potatoes costs the same as a 10-pound bag of potatoes: $400. |

Eevee Therapy for Little Magi: Having spent her whole life inside a Gilded Cage, Ilya never had to worry about money before becoming a Pokémon trainer. She's quite upset by the concept of having to learn how to budget. Rin is a Downplayed example; Kirei deliberately mismanaged all of her family's assets just because he could, so she's accustomed to dealing with money problems. However, she still has trouble resisting the urge to buy gems she can't afford as fuel for her magic. |

Unfortunately, she is Skilled, but Naive, as no matter if fit for an Action Girl, she has a knack for getting into trouble for doing very stupid things without thinking them through first, not to mention clumsy and displaying how she has no experience in combat outside of a gym. | |

Kim Possible: Señor Senior Junior is a wealthy fop, who we first meet tanning under a sun lamp the size of a blimp. His father's decision to take up supervillainy as a hobby could be seen as another example, though he otherwise seems to have as much common sense as anyone. Interestingly enough, Junior does seem to possess common sense, if namely in Stating the Simple Solution regarding his father's supervillainy. Senior disapproves because it goes against supervillain tradition. In one episode, Ron suddenly receives millions of dollars in royalties for inventing the "naco". He spends much of the episode squandering the money on bling and frivolities until Drakken and Shego steal what's left (after which they blow it on another failed attempt to Take Over the World). |

Momo Yaoyorozu in My Hero Academia. She's so used to her luxurious accommodations that she doesn't realize how badly she accidentally insults her working-class classmates when she talks about how many resources she has at her disposal nor does she notice how uncomfortable and out of place they feel in her incredibly large and fancy house. Incidentally, this is actually seen as an endearing trait of her, given that she's such a sweet and kind girl, her classmates just can't bring themselves to be mad at her. | |

Veronica Lodge of Archie Comics doesn't know that camping should not involve telling your butler to bring you a first-class dinner by helicopter to the woods. Also, she seems to think that, because she has such immense wealth, she must never ever have a job of any sort, even if it's just to pass the time. In the 2015 comic book, it takes her a while to grasp that Archie's home is not the "guest building" and that most people don't have more than one house. Veronica's twin, Lola, in the Cherry comic books. Very rich, yet prone to doing things like taking up witchcraft and having it backfire on her. |

Pops from Regular Show He was raised in a wealthy household but was very sheltered, resulting in him having a child-like fascination with everything. He's an old man who acts like a very young child due to his naïvete. But this is also partially due to him being from another land entirely. It's implied that he was much more mature and lucid when he was younger, but then Mordecai and Rigby accidentally ran his past self over with a golf cart, possibly resulting in his childish personality. | |

Pretty much every Noble in One Piece aside from a very few seem to think that anything can be done if they just throw enough money at it and have a high status. Also due to this they are morally bankrupt, and believe that the lower class are worthless trash due to the fact the lower class didn't "choose to be born noble". | |

This night your soul will be required of you. Then whose will those things be that you have provided for yourself?" Jesus ends the parable by saying, "So it is with the person who stores up treasure for himself, and yet is poor in God's sight." (Luke 12:21) This can also apply to The Prodigal Son. The son of a rich man wants his father's inheritance before he died, and the father gives it to him. Then he runs to a distant land and lives it up on the money, but it soon runs out. He is forced to live as a farmhand (and is so hungry, the pigs' slop looks good), until he comes to his senses and goes back home. |

Mystery Incorporated has everyone in the Blake family but Daphne being like this (though her sisters have successful careers of their own merit). Her dad once bought a car just to have it sit around their living room as a decoration. Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!: In "In Space", Daphne says her mother thinks night is dark because someone puts a big blanket between Earth and the Sun. In "Naughty or Ice", Daphne says her family's partial ownership of the fancy ice hotel happened because her great-grandfather was so afraid the Government would freeze his assets he decided to "freeze" them first by investing in the hotel. |

Cave Johnson of Portal 2 fame owned Aperture Science, a major research corporation, and it is implied that he was at a time astoundingly rich. However, his own issues (such as the obsessive development of the Portal Gun and his original job, selling shower curtains) and idiotic financial decisions (such as marketing Mobility Gels as pudding, compulsively buying moon rocks while his company was in financial straits) led to his downfall and may have contributed to his insanity. Two of the "core tenets" of Aperture, the Heimlich Counter-Maneuver and the Take-a-Wish Foundation, couldn't have helped, either. |

Lady!!: George Russell, a.k.a Viscount Marble, is from an aristocratic family, but failed to properly manage his funds, resulting in the Russells being heavily in debt. Angered at his son's foolishness, Duke Warbawn proposed George marry Baronness Madeleine Waverly, as she has enough money to pay them off. However, George doesn't want to, and spends the entire series trying to avoid it. All while failing to notice that Madeleine is abusing both of his children, especially little Lynn. | |

Game of Thrones: This is Tyrion's own self-effacing protest when Tywin names him Master of Coin. While he's one of the brightest political minds in Westeros, he hasn't got a clue when it comes to economics. See Bronn and Pod: he has no idea how much he's even paying the former and is legitimately surprised to learn he's not even paying the latter. He does pick up on Littlefinger's shady dealings with the Iron Bank of Braavos, though, with him expressing concern that the Kingdom has a bigger problem to deal with after the War. Viserys Targaryen and his interactions with the Dothraki. Illyrio warned him that kings often lack the caution of commoners, advice Viserys failed to heed. He believes his imagined status as the "rightful king of the Seven Kingdoms" is enough to demand respect from his Dothraki hosts. His ongoing open hostility and refusal to understand their customs lead to his particularly gruesome and humiliating end. |

In Fate/stay night's background, after Tokiomi Tohsaka's death, his apprentice Kirei Kotomine was given control of his assets as guardian to Tokiomi's daughter Rin. Despite the Tohsakas being comfortably wealthy, by the time of the Fifth Holy Grail War, Kirei has managed to squander the vast majority of Rin's inheritance, apparently by sheer naive honesty and terrible management skills, though it's implied that it was actually another expression of his barely-concealed Troll tendencies and delight in tormenting Rin. | |

All five are stripped of their nobility titles along with all the privileges they took for granted during their whole lives, and they constantly waste the little money they, or rather Marie makes, in presents that are next to useless and meaningless, much to her irritation. | |

In Drowtales, when the drow search party reaches the surface: It's played straight with the Ojou, Ariel, who gets agoraphobia (fear of open spaces), and Liriel, her pampered slave, who doesn't know grass =/= "weed". Ironically in Liriel's case she's actually from the surface originally, being Diva'ratrika, the former empress, through a Fusion Dance, not that she knows this at the time. Subverted in that Kyo, probably the wealthiest member of the group, has been to the surface before and likes it. |

Both Redmond and Blutarch Mann from Team Fortress 2 are heavy-hitters of this. All their lives and throughout their little proxy war with one another, these Upper-Class Twits have little idea of how the world really works: thinking that the Gravel Pits of New Mexico that they have been fighting over for decades was what made the world go round and powered the trains. And that when their twin brother Gray Mann sent them letters to trick them into a meeting proposing a truce; they decided to RENT OUT the Alamo and fly it to New Mexico for a meeting place... where the dimwit brothers thought they should build a machine in order to make one of them pregnant. With their only concern being if the plan was somehow too perfect. | |

Adonis from Hercules: The Animated Series. In one episode, he accidentally had Hercules trapped in holding up the sky (Greek Mythology) and Atlas was ready to leave him there. Realising he couldn't bribe Atlas into taking back the burden, the only thing he could think of was tricking the god into temporarily holding the sky so Hercules could give back Adonis' purse. | |

Princess Jasmine in Disney's Aladdin never had to deal with money, so she nearly got in horrible trouble when she left the palace and forgot to bring any. Especially with the Islamic "eye for an eye" policy. Since she couldn't pay, that counted as thievery. And Islamic practice dictates that a thief get their hand cut off. Good thing Aladdin was there. |

Showcased on Silicon Valley with how you can make a mint in the tech world and yet not understand how to use it. Gavin is fond of wasting tons of money on everything from a $20 million hologram that can't actually communicate with people to getting rare animals to make a point on board meetings (one of which is an elephant that drops dead). A board member openly asks why Gavin goes to such cost when he can just show a photo of the animal in question and Gavin clearly never considered that idea. Gavin can get Hoolie in hot water with statements that show how utterly out of touch he is with the public. The best example is at a conference when he shocks guests by seriously stating that American millionaires are persecuted worse than the Jews in Nazi Germany. While a good guy, Nelson is basically a moron so it's no surprise that when he gets a huge buyout from Hoolie, he goes through it fast. He wasted money having the swimming pool of his mansion moved a few feet then had it moved back. It also turns out that he was renting most of the furniture and items in his home so he can't sell them off for his debts. While it's true his money manager stole much of his cash, it's obvious Nelson would have lost it anyway. Erlich thinks that by taking over Nelson's account via a partnership, he has an unlimited supply of cash. He thus blows a million dollars on a huge party at Alcatraz before finding out Nelson is broke. Figuring out the money manager was stealing some funds, Erlich heads to the district attorney to bring about charges. The D.A. however, refuses to prosecute as A) no jury is going to be sympathetic to a couple of millionaires being robbed and B) it's quite clear the two would have blown all the cash in any case. |

Weiss Schnee is played up as this in RWBY Chibi, especially in episode 18 where she berates Ruby for not having a "cake butler" (as well as having four of them back in Atlas), calls the kitchen a "food room" and nearly sets the kitchen on fire messing with the oven buttons. Though this trait of hers is just as likely to be downplayed if that's what the joke requires. | |

Tsumugi Kotobuki in K-On! is a more positive portrayal of this idea. Her sweet personality lets her approach the mundane things of less-affluent living as a novel concept to be explored like some great adventure (such as dagashi stores, pillow fights and working a part-time job at a burger restaurant). She almost reaches the I Just Want to Be Normal territory where later on in the manga she cuts herself off from the family fortune to live her life on her own terms without relying on her parents, and to be on the same level as her friends. | |

In "Naughty or Ice", Daphne says her family's partial ownership of the fancy ice hotel happened because her great-grandfather was so afraid the Government would freeze his assets he decided to "freeze" them first by investing in the hotel. |

In one Key & Peele sketch, Jaden Smith is portrayed as this trope where his agent helps him audition for a movie role as a poor, average kid but has no idea how an average kid lives as he doesn't know what a mall is and is confused why the main character has to choose between pursuing his dreams as a basketball player or quitting to save his mother's life and can't choose both, which Jaden accusing his agent of giving him a Science Fiction role. | |

Arthur from Merlin in the episode "The Once and Future Queen", when he's staying with Gwen. He says he'd like to take a bath, she tells him that might be hard as she doesn't own a bathtub, and he just stares at her, speechless. | |

May I Ask for One Final Thing?: Noble lady Scarlet's Blood Knight tendencies aside, it's clear the first time we see her out in public she has no idea what she's doing. She's sold a lump of rock convinced it's mithtril, thinks a home looks like an old ruin and wonders if she can punch out a chunk of it as a souvenir, and buys a meat and vegetable skewer unaware that it's s rat meat and only interested in the unusual fragrance. Julius notes that, for all her attempts to blend in, Scarlet is very clearly a noble and just as obviously susceptible to snake oil salesmen. | |

Frasier where Maris completely and instantly falls to pieces over the simplest things. Often done with Frasier and Niles also but Maris is practically the avatar of this trope. | |

Rachel Green from Friends is a mild example of the trope. She was raised in a wealthy family and was set to be married to someone, but she wound up running out on her wedding and crashing at her not-so-rich friend Monica's apartment. For a long time, Rachel had to learn how to do things that were autonomous to everyone else, such as taking out the garbage and serving drinks to people in a cafe. She does get better in the later seasons. Rachel later tries to extend the same help to one of her sisters, and it fails spectacularly, although in her case she wasn't just sheltered, but remarkably stupid, to the point where she doesn't understand why her attempted baby salon business (which consists mostly of her telling parents that their babies are ugly) is failing. |

In Sgt. Frog, Tamama's first experience with human houses is billionaire Momoka's. He is then reunited with Keroro at the Hinatas' home and proceeds to ask where the maids are, what kind of stores are in the house... (along with detailed descriptions of his opulent lifestyle). Keroro is left seething with jealousy. "Sometimes I break stuff just to watch them [the maids] run around." While Keroro is cleaning. |

This is what happened to the Gaunt family in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Due to their mental instability thanks to generations of inbreeding, they wound up losing everything. In Dumbledore's own words, "Lack of sense coupled with a great liking for grandeur meant that the family gold was squandered several generations before Marvolo was born." Indeed, by the time Marvolo's children were born, the Gaunts were reduced to living in a shack with only two valuable family heirlooms left. | |

Succession: A major theme in the show is how the Roys have grown up wealthy and sheltered, so they have no idea how the world works and are essentially living in a fantasy world. They desperately seek to earn the approval of their Self-Made Man father but have none of the tools to succeed without his help. | |

In Troop Beverly Hills, the main character is leading a troop of ersatz Girl Scouts and at first treats it like lounging by the pool, including spending their first trip◊ "roughing it" wearing a mink coat, smoking a cigarette, and drinking chilled wine. And later, the troop spends a night in Beverly Hills Hotel, because the campsite is unsuitable for them, as the main character puts it, "there were no outlets, and, there was dirt and bugs, and it rains there." | |

In Outsiders (xTRESTWHOx), Louise occasionally forgets that she's Trapped in Another World where nobody knows who she is, and doesn't have the resources she's accustomed to. She buys every single TM available and insists on getting the highest-quality (and most expensive) healing items, ignoring Professor Sycamore's efforts to warn her about how impractical that is. While she gets better after realizing the store had effectively scammed her, Saito frequently teases her about this. | |

In one episode of Night Court. Dan is forced to go on a date with a mob boss' plain-Jane daughter and ends up connecting with her on a deep emotional level. But her father doesn't want them getting deeply involved, so he threatens to cut her off if she doesn't break up with him. She reluctantly agrees, explaining that she's lived such a sheltered life that she doesn't know how to live without her father's support—she once got mad at him and ran away to her summer home, where she nearly starved to death because she couldn't figure out how to use a can opener. | |
