"Then I learned that he was the son of an incredibly wealthy oil exec."

Envy isn't flattering. Perhaps he did not benefit from that "wealth". Besides many who are NOT wealthy manage to put their kids first, do with less and raise great kids. I'd rather see that than kids whose parents work to "give them what they didn't have" and turn out to be spoiled, ill behaved hoodlums.
