When he turned 13, his parents chartered a plane and took the entire class to Europe for a long weekend."by Liz RichardsonBuzzFeed StaffFacebookPinterestLink 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: Note: Obviously, we can't 100% verify all of these stories, but these people are allegedly speaking from their own experiences, so enjoy! 1. "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." -allysonh491b34478 Rosdiana Ciaravolo / Getty Images 2. "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." -ellie4me 3. "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." "His sister also went to school with us, though, and she was a pretentious a-hole and has continued that trend into adulthood."-Anonymous 4. "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 wasn't rich or popular, so I was basically invisible. A girl with whom I had a couple of classes and who was also a professional model once told me I wasn't a senior because 'she knew all the seniors.' This was while I was wearing a sweatshirt that said 'senior' with my name on the back. I was so happy to graduate and get out of there."-therealellenripley Koumaru / Getty Images 5. "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 was super embarrassed, obviously, I had just run into a person. But he was so kind, it made it a lot better than it could have been. He was known for being really sweet. I was happy to see he made it."-lalalace1640 6. "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." "Eventually, I just said screw it and did my own thing, and I got much more credit for that than trying to be like all the rich kids."-Anonymous, 54, Arizona 7. "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." -Anonymous, 67, Florida SOPA Images / LightRocket via Getty Images 8. "In my freshman year of college, there was a geography course taught in a big lecture hall. The TAs would have a few cl
