Nice clickbait but it's a huge fallacy. For starters, the premise is false.

And fellas, that’s what rich folks do, they throw money around like it’s nothing.  Cool

Warren Buffet would be the most obvious counter example of this, but there are plenty more. People who started out poor or middle class and become rich usually don't waste money, and if they make expenditures that may seem obscene to you you have to think of them as a tiny part of their net worth.

Besides the bullshit you say has the following fallacious form:

1. Rich people waste money,
2. I waste money.

Conclusion: I am rich.

The bullshit is just as stupid as the following:

1. Monkeys drink water.
2. I drink water.

Conclusion: I am a monkey.
