If you become rich, what will you do first? Buying what you have been dreaming of or doing something else? If you were rich, will you show off your wealth?

Recently, a girl has become very popular on the internet in China. Two photos of her hav spread widely. One shows that she takes a bundle of cashes in hands and makes strange facial expressions. Another shows a credit card and some drugs( perhaps it is) in a plate. It is those two photos that have aroused the public's resentment. Many people say that the girl should not have shown off her wealth on the internet though she is very rich.

Since the gap between the rich and the poor has become too wide, people's resentment toward the rich has grown quickly. I guess this is why the girl became the enemy of the public.

How do you view it? Should the rich show off their wealth?

A report said that a man who won a prize of about 4 million dollars by buying lotteries 'armed' to teeth to get his prize, wearing sun glasses, respirator, a white hat and long dust coat. When asked why he wore like this, he said that he would not want to be the target of those bad guys or get him in trouble. Sometimes, showing off wealth can bring you some 'troubles'.

It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, you should always be careful with showing your money.

Why show other people if You are rich? To show You are now better than them?
It is totally different to show wealth around than only buy what need and what want and then live ones life normally.
If I would win in lottery very much money (or find 4 mil. dollars from aeroplane in the middle of nowhere), I definitely would buy all I need and maybe a little more. Then I would not need Volvo, like now. No, I would need Mercedes or Maserati. I would need because I want. But I would not go around only to show I have Maserati.

If I was rich, I would not feel myself any better than others. Only a little richer, heh.

Do you ever hear these words? If we get rich, we will eat deep-fried twisted dough sticks and drink bean milk, dipping them in white sugar or black sugar. We will buy two bowls of bean milk, drink one bowl and throw the other away. If I get rich, I will buy luxurious cars, a Mercedes Benz or a BMW. I will buy two at one time, one to drive, the other to drag behind.

What do these words suggest? Are people using them to mock at others or just jealous of the rich? Why do they say these words? Because the disparity between the rich and the poor is too wide.

I think they just say those words for feeling good.
Don't worry they can never do that for they are poor.

Actually, you can find that some poeple who are very rich look just as ordinary people. On contrary, some guy who are not very rich wear expensive clothes and always long for better things, for example very luxurious cars or large but comfortable house.

How do those rich people show off their wealth? Just look at this picture. A man used 12 hammers for his wedding ceremony. Except 12 hammers, he also invites some entertainment stars to perform on the stage. Someone estimates that this guy's wedding ceremony costs about 10 million.
