People would get on me for being like a dramatic little child.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But no, I was right to be a dramatic little s*** about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nVivian also noticed a strange &#8220;illusion&#8221; that the wealth is earned while others are struggling.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;[There&#8217;s a] level of detachment from reality itself, in favour of wealth and this illusion that you deserve it while people are sleeping on the streets&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Oh, and also Santa Claus is real. I also know that, like, I was a rich kid; I should not be lecturing anyone on materialism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Vivian admitted she has &#8220;absolutely&#8221; witnessed the way immense wealth has warped people in her life.<\/p>\n<p>\nWithout naming anyone, she revealed: &#8220;I have seen that s*** firsthand. It will change you, and the desire for power corrupts people from within. It is cartoonish.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Achieving that and wanting more is a never-ending cycle of greed and gluttony, where nothing is enough and you kind of go insane.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It turns you into someone different. Which is honestly one of my biggest fears.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nLast year, the model &#8211; who shares a home in Los Angeles with three other people because it is &#8220;cheaper&#8221; than living alone &#8211; was planning to enrol at a community college to continue her study of languages, and insisted she wasn&#8217;t rich.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe told The Cut: \u201cCollege is expensive. I don\u2019t have that inheritance.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cPeople assume I have a lot of money. I don\u2019t have hundreds of thousands of dollars at my disposal.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cMy mom is rich, right? But obviously the other one is unimaginable degrees of wealthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nBut Vivian insisted she isn&#8217;t &#8220;salty&#8221; about the situation because she is still more comfortable than others of her age.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cI don\u2019t have a desire to be superrich.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI can afford food. I have friends, a shelter, and some expendable income, which is nice and much more fortunate than most people my age in Los Angeles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/elon-musks-estranged-daughter-says-wealthy-upbringing-isolating-1440529.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 April 2026 Elon Musk&#8217;s estranged daughter Vivian Wilson says growing up around extreme wealth was &#8220;very isolating&#8221;.
