![20 Facts About Rich Jerks From Movies & TV](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/5/9/4/861594_320x180.jpg)
They’re the worst. They go out of their way to make lives miserable for virtually no real reason. But do you know what’s worse than a jerk? A rich jerk!
A fool with money has fewer limitations and more opportunities than your average Joe. A regular yo-yo risks going to jail if they punch you in the face. Rich one will have their bodyguard punch you, and then they’ll laugh their way to their private helicopter, juiced up sports car, or rare rideable ostrich.
While there are plenty of rich yo-yo's in real life, there are far more entertaining ones in popular culture, television, and film. We mean, at least those use their wealth to build a space laser, play God with animal species, or go to the Moon — okay, that last one was a bad example.
In any case, here’s a Pictofact list of facts about rich cads from movies and TV that will never be as harmful as the actual rich cads in today’s society.
