The fact is, money impresses a LOT of people — even the illusion of having a lot of money.
It can buy a lot of influence and “friends” but they’re just hanger-ons and users.
I’m sure she’s a perfectly nice person, but there’s no way she would’ve ever gone out with him if he didn’t have money or the illusion of wealth.
He bought her a lot of gifts and wooed her with money.
In my view, he bought her affection.
I remember hearing about him when that broke.
None of the people he partied with were his true friends and neither were the beautiful women.
I think it’s sad.
