I think affluenza is real because it is often those who are financially privileged who ignore the rules and disrespect others. That is not to say that only rich people are ignorant and unable to recognize one's actions, but there is probably a correlation. These people feel as though they would not have to be responsible because they are privileged. Also, they also don't recognize the privilege they have, but instead see their advantage as a part of their status and being earned. The feeling of financial stability and excess could lead to the feeling of invincibility and entitlement. They could moralize their ignorance and the actions they do in their own favor.
