Celebrities are about as privileged as it gets.
Most have things we could only dream of, like million-dollar mansions , glam squads, and fat bank accounts. While there’s no problem with them having all this, there is a problem with their privilege showing.
That’s when the world’s tiniest violin comes out. It’s going to accompany this list of almost every time celebs were out of touch with how privileged they are.
