I had a childhood friend whose family was truly wealthy. Buildings named for the family rich. They were different--did things that everyone I knew would never think of doing, like it was normal/okay--like leaving the kid with my mom for a week or more, not for pay or anything (we were barely getting by without gov't assistance). So, yeah, this article rings very true.
This is a very good, if disturbing, read.
