Affluenza: a psychological malaise supposedly affecting wealthy young people, symptoms of which include lack of motivation, feelings of guilt, and a sense of isolation.The term "affluenza" can refer to rich kids who were so spoiled rotten that they've lost all empathy for other human beings. The word has even been used in court to defend them when they commit a crime.

They are so pampered that they can't even comprehend the consequences of their actions. If anything, they are victims of their parents' neglect.
