Wouldn't it be more fun to hang about with your mates? You know, with people who were with you before you got rich? Most people who are friendly toward the rich are the most insufferable hangers-on, and you're right, they won't be there if something bad happens.

I would, though. I bet there are others who would. Should warn you, though, a lot more of the expensive delicacies rich people like are actually shite.
