Yes. There are envious and crazy people out there.

Given this perspective, it always makes me wonder why non famous people are constantly showing off on social media. They are completely capable of flying u dear the radar and enjoying their wealth and toys but want to broadcast it to the world, inviting what the pro athlete wants to avoid but can’t.

What’s worse is that I suspect many of them don’t own the toys that they flash online. Worst of both worlds.
