In reply to the discussion: The $38,000 hand bag: if you had more money, how would your lifestyle change? [View all]gollygee
(22,336 posts)We're outraged she would even ask to look at a bag, but I've been at high end shops, and things don't have price tags prominently displayed. She might have liked the look of it and asked to look at it but not even have known how much it cost. She knows walking into any store that she can afford anything in that store, so there's no reason she wouldn't ask to look at anything she liked the looks of.
Also, I'd rather see rich people pissing away money than sitting on it. Get it back into circulation, even if you're buying something stupid.
She does give a lot of money to charity. It isn't like she keeps all her money, doesn't pay her employees well, is a miser, and doesn't care that people suffer.
The bag is named after Jennifer Aniston, who has one, and I haven't seen a thread complaining about HOW DARE Jennifer Aniston have a $38,000 bag, and she actually has bought one. Oprah never bought this purse and might very well have not known how much it cost when she asked to buy it. It could be that she'd see the price and say, "No purse is worth $38k" and might have moved on to look at something else.
This whole outrage over Oprah daring to look at an expensive purse pisses me off. She can look at whatever the hell she wants.
