22-year-old BILLION-heiress Petra Ecclestone -- the chick who just bought Candy Spelling's mansion for $85 MILLION -- says she's NOT spoiled ... she's privileged -- and there's a HUGE difference.

Ecclestone spoke with "Good Morning America" -- and explained why she decided to purchase the home ... saying, "It was a great investment, and I got a really good deal and it was, like, prime real estate."

When asked why she didn't use the money to pay for affordable homes for 1000's of families -- she replied, "I help as much as I can, but at the end of the day ... however much the house has costed, that's not going to kind of I dunno ... like change the world I don't think."

Petra -- daughter of a Formula 1 racing tycoon -- added, "I'm not going to not live in a certain way ... just because there are people less fortunate than I am."

1. People like this I'm all in favor of seizing some of their assets

And donating the money on their behalf.

Unbelievable.

[FiveGoodMen]

7. I think we should donate her organs while we're at it.

Fuck the rich.

To hell with them.

[gratuitous]

2. So let us have no more prattle about raising taxes, okay?

Can you imagine the hardship Ms. Ecclestone would face if her taxes costed her more? That's her money, you goddam socialist vultures!

3. And flunked third grade grammar, to boot......

"...however much the house HAS COSTED....."

Jesus wept.

4. I used to think that only the wealthy could afford education...

And with that an assumption that they were all smart enough to take advantage of the ability to get a world class education.

Seems the idiocracy knows no social stations in life.

12. It's like being thin used to be a sign of poverty and now it's often a

sign of wealth. Her lack of education shows to the world that she is SO rich she has no need for education. Money will insulate her from the consequences of ignorance.

13. 30 Rock had a great line on that.

The character of Tracy Jordan believes he's dying and is giving last minute orders about his estate. "Make sure my kids are well taken care of," he says, "because I don't want them to have to go to college."

5. Buy A College

and attended the classes.

6. People like this make me ill.

8. That's like, so totally cooler than, like, the mostest anything, Petra.

9. Can we start building the guillotine yet?

Just asking.

10. Ms. Ecclestone has *costed* me my lunch.

:puke:

[riderinthestorm]

11. Then how about you start "small" and help a few families to start, perhaps a milion here and there

Trust me, you'll feel great and perhaps you might even become a real person instead of a selfish jerk.

This OP is mind-blowing. Good thing she's not spoiled or anything - that would really take the cake!! :puke:

14. Did anyone listen to the clip?

She is clearly not a native American English speaker. Given her name, Petra, and her grammar foible, I'll take German for $100, Alex...

15. She is right, her interview and her lifestyle won't have any effect

on the planet and when she dies it won't matter either...rich or poor that is just the way the world turns.

16. Be nice, she's a job creator. n/t
