Redditors who grew up filthy rich. What did you think was normal till you learned otherwise?

0:04.0

Honestly, it was the little things. I knew we had nicer cars than average, a bigger house, went on more trips, etc.

But I thought everyone's refrigerator had wood-paneled cabinet doors. For example, we had a sub-zero built-in refrigerator and freezer.

The first time I saw a metal fridge, I thought it was weird,

0:21.4

and I thought it was even weirder that the fridge and freezer were combined, but then I got really

1:26.3

1:28.5

etc. And I just thought that's what plates and stuff were made of, because we didn't have anything
