Entitled

Ivory tower dweller; 
born with a silver spoon
in his mouth.
He's used to riding 
the lofty coattails 
of his tycoon father 

Selfish, 
arrogant 
and self-centered, 
he expects people 
in his life to go 
the extra mile to keep 
his life "comfortable"

When they fall short, 
he treats them 
like chopped liver.
He's convinced himself
the world owes him
something.

This guy you speak of is always on display, always playing victim. Your last line says it all!
