That doesn't mean mom and dad got no money, though.

I happen to know a kid with rich parents and they frequently have to buy him stuff he discovered on instagram -- YEEZY shoes and whatnot.

I'm sure there are enough kids that'll bug their parents about planning their next vacation where some popular influencer were.

You meant to say "rich parents who frequently chose to buy him stuff", didn't you?

To the extent that the parents chose to raise their children in an environment that taught them advanced emotional manipulation skills at an early age, sure.
