BILLIONAIRE Goes Broke First Day Of College | Dhar Mann Studios

[00:00:00]I'm the loudest in the room moving.

[00:00:02]Big flex, but I do look kind of know.

[00:00:04]>> Hey, that's Alicia Cole.

[00:00:08]>> I'm the loudest in the room.

[00:00:09]>> Ooh, her dad owns like half of the skyline downtown. I didn't know she was starting school here.

[00:00:14]>> Um, sorry. I think I'm in the regular dining hall.

[00:00:19]Where's premium?

[00:00:20]>> Premium?

[00:00:21]Uh, this is campus food.

[00:00:24]There's levels of disappointment, but not dining.

[00:00:27]>> I'll just order in.

[00:00:31]>> AH!

[00:00:32]WATCH IT!

[00:00:33]THIS BAG COSTS more than your entire tuition.

[00:00:35]>> Sorry, it was an accident.

[00:00:38]>> Oh, that's a lot of luggage.

[00:00:40]>> Yeah, well, I'm moving into my dorm room today.

[00:00:42]>> With all of those?

[00:00:44]You have seen the size of the dorm rooms, right?

[00:00:46]>> Ignore her. She probably moved her stuff in with trash bags.

[00:00:49]>> [laughter] >> I'm Sienna.

[00:00:53]You have to sit with us.

[00:00:58]>> Rushing Bell House is a must. It is the best sorority on campus.

[00:01:02]>> Oh, Sienna's a legacy there.

[00:01:04]>> Her mom was the president. And soon, I will be following in her high-heeled footsteps.

[00:01:08]>> [laughter] >> I was thinking about joining a sorority, but it has to be chic. I have [music] standards to maintain.

[00:01:14]>> Yeah, Bell House has standards.

[00:01:17]They're having a private mixer tonight.

[00:01:20]The theme is quiet luxury.

[00:01:21]>> Ooh, do you have a table?

[00:01:22]>> I wish. It's like 1,500 a piece. Only the rich alum go there.

[00:01:28]>> That's it?

[00:01:29]Can I pay with my black card?

[00:01:32]>> Are you [music] serious?

[00:01:33]>> Really?

[00:01:34]>> That would be amazing.

[00:01:35]>> Of course.

[00:01:37]How about I get a slot taste and we can discuss our outfits for tonight?

[00:01:43]My dad didn't want me to bring my personal assistant to college, but I told him it was an absolute must.

[00:01:50]>> I'm sorry. I was calling.

[00:01:53]>> No, it's impossible.

[00:01:56]Can you excuse for a moment?

[00:02:02]Is your machine broken?

[00:02:03]>> No.

[00:02:05]Card declined.

[00:02:07]>> [laughter] >> There must be a mistake.

[00:02:10]Here.

[00:02:11]Try this one.

[00:02:15]>> [clears throat] >> Is everything okay?

[00:02:18]>> Uh yeah. Of course. [laughter] Just Just a banking issue.

[00:02:22]>> Oh.

[00:02:22]>> I'm just going to call my dad and get it sorted out.

[00:02:24]>> Totally.

[00:02:25]>> [laughter] >> Thank you.

[00:02:33]>> [music] >> Dad.

[00:02:34]Both of my credit cards just got declined. What is going on?

[00:02:37]>> I was just about to call you, Alicia.

[00:02:39]Your accounts have been frozen.

[00:02:40]>> Frozen?

[00:02:41]W- W- What What are you talking about? What does this mean?

[00:02:45]>> It means you no longer have access to your credit cards. I also have to stop paying for your driver, your assistant, and your stylist.

[00:02:52]>> W- What's happening?

[00:02:54]Am I poor?

[00:02:55]>> This is a temporary situation. But your room and board and your tuition are all paid up, as is your meal plan.

[00:03:03]So, I think you have nothing to worry about.

[00:03:06]>> You want me to eat in this dining hall?

[00:03:09]Everything here has gluten.

[00:03:11]>> I think you'll survive, Alicia. Millions of college students do it every single day. I trust you'll be just fine.

[00:03:18]>> No. No. Don't. Don't.

[00:03:19]>> [laughter] >> Uh just uh a banking glitch. Like I thought.

[00:03:26]>> Oh.

[00:03:27]Okay, great.

[00:03:27]>> I'll get it sorted out in no time.

[00:03:42]You got to be kidding me.

[00:03:46]You're my roommate?

[00:03:47]Just when I thought this day couldn't get any worse.

[00:03:50]>> Look, I know we got off the wrong foot.

[00:03:52]>> Oh, really? Uh-huh.

[00:03:55]You mean when you got dirty mop water all over my bags?

[00:04:01]WATCH IT!

[00:04:02]And had the audacity to judge me for it?

[00:04:05]>> I was more so talking about how your friend insulted me in front of the whole cafeteria and you just laughed.

[00:04:12]>> You know what? I'm I'm going through a lot right now. I can't take any more of it.

[00:04:17]Oh, wow.

[00:04:18]Did I forget to put mattress in the mattress?

[00:04:21]>> [music] >> You know, the school has a fund that provides resources to students who need them.

[00:04:26]>> I'm not needy.

[00:04:28]>> Just trying to help.

[00:04:29]>> Well, I didn't ask for your help. Why don't we just stay out of each other's business, okay? Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a mixer to attend to.

[00:04:51]>> Nice shoes.

[00:04:53]Orthopedic?

[00:04:55]>> They're for work.

[00:04:56]>> Oh, so back to the dining hall then?

[00:04:59]>> No, this is for my second job.

[00:05:02]At a catering company.

[00:05:04]They're still hiring if you want to earn [music] some spending money.

[00:05:10]>> Do you have any idea what they would say to me if they caught me wearing that outfit carrying shrimp? [music] I'd be destroyed.

[00:05:23]>> Hi, I thought I saw you head this way earlier. Um, I live just down the hall.

[00:05:27]>> Oh, cool. Come in.

[00:05:30]Oh, mop girl. This is your roommate.

[00:05:32]>> It's [music] Maya, actually. And I was just leaving.

[00:05:39]>> Okay.

[00:05:41]Where were you?

[00:05:43]>> You have no idea.

[00:05:45]So, I just wanted to double check that [music] you could still get the table for tonight. I know you had that banking issue earlier, but I already [music] told all the girls that we'd have a table.

[00:05:53]>> Oh, yeah. Yeah, of course. Of course I can.

[00:05:57]I should have cash lying around here somewhere.

[00:06:00]>> [laughter] >> It's practically pocket change.

[00:06:03]>> You know, you should really be careful about leaving cash lying around though.

[00:06:08]Especially living with people like her.

[00:06:13]>> What do you mean?

[00:06:14]>> [music] >> You can't just poke people. They take from you every chance that they get, so just be careful is all I'm trying to say.

[00:06:21]>> Oh, wait. This one is totally quiet luxury. Um looks like it cost more than the entire mixer budget. You should definitely wear this tonight.

[00:06:31]Hi.

[00:06:32]Um How much for this?

[00:06:37]>> I'll give you a thousand for it.

[00:06:38]>> What?

[00:06:40]But I paid five times that six months ago.

[00:06:42]>> [music] >> Take it or leave it.

[00:06:47]>> Fine.

[00:06:49]But I want cash.

[00:06:50]>> [music] >> You made it.

[00:06:56]>> [laughter] >> Tonight is [music] all about first impressions. So, if you want to rush for a house, you have to impress the sisters. And buying a table is a great first step.

[00:07:07]>> Oh my gosh. What is she doing here?

[00:07:10]Ah, yeah. It's like she's stalking me.

[00:07:15]>> Hi. Name?

[00:07:17]>> Alicia Cole. We have a table.

[00:07:19]>> Yes. Uh it says payment [music] is outstanding. That'll be 1,500.

[00:07:26]>> Here you go.

[00:07:28]>> Uh excuse [clears throat] me. So sorry. Uh you're 500 short.

[00:07:35]>> What are you talking about? I >> [music] >> I had 1,500 in my purse.

[00:07:40]Oh gosh.

[00:07:42]It must have fallen out.

[00:07:45]>> [music] >> Can I just owe you?

[00:07:46]>> We require a payment up front for our tables.

[00:07:50]>> Okay, look. Why don't you just let us in now, [music] and I can bring you a thousand tomorrow. You can keep the extra 500 for your troubles.

[00:07:59]>> It's 1,500. [music] >> Um, hello? This is Alicia Cole. Do you not know who her dad is? Trust me, she's good for it.

[00:08:12]>> Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

[00:08:15]Um, are you going to be able to cover the cost of [music] the rest of the table?

[00:08:20]>> What is it to you?

[00:08:21]>> I heard the call with your dad earlier.

[00:08:24]I know your accounts are frozen.

[00:08:26]It can be easy to get in over your head.

[00:08:28]>> I know what I'm doing.

[00:08:30]>> And I know those girls, they're going to make you spend more and more just to prove yourself. [music] But you don't have to.

[00:08:36]That kind of friendship isn't real anyway.

[00:08:38]>> When I want your advice, I'll ask for it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm here to have fun, not be lectured.

[00:08:50]>> What was that all about?

[00:08:51]>> Uh, nothing. Nothing. I was just wondering if she found my missing 500. That's all.

[00:08:59]>> Oh my gosh, do you think she took it?

[00:09:01]>> Probably. I mean, look at her shoes. She obviously needs the money.

[00:09:06]>> [laughter] >> But for real, Alicia, if your roommate stole from you, you should definitely report it.

[00:09:12]>> Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no.

[00:09:14]>> Why not?

[00:09:18]>> Well, then it becomes like it becomes like a whole thing. And my dad hates any kind of scandal associated to our name.

[00:09:25]>> [music] >> Besides, it's easier to just let it go.

[00:09:29]It's only $500.

[00:09:31]>> Oh my gosh, imagine being that mega rich.

[00:09:34]>> It's crazy. Like $500 means nothing.

[00:09:38]>> Forget that. Imagine how much fun we're going to have during rush week. At least he's with us.

[00:09:43]>> [laughter] >> Spa day, shopping, charity drive, we are going to blow all of the other recruits out of the water.

[00:09:49]Right, Alicia?

[00:09:52]>> Right. Yeah, right. [music] Right.

[00:09:58]>> [music] [music] [music] >> That wasn't so hard.

[00:10:52]>> I ruined my Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.

[00:10:54]Fire. Fire.

[00:10:55]What do we do?

[00:10:56]>> Is this [music] you asking for advice?

[00:10:58]>> Yes. Yes.

[00:11:13]How many capfuls did you put in there?

[00:11:15]>> Capfuls?

[00:11:16]>> Did no one ever teach you how to do this?

[00:11:18]>> I always sent my laundry out to be done.

[00:11:20]Although honestly it's rare I ever wore anything twice.

[00:11:24]But everything I own is now in this machine.

[00:11:27]>> Then you better take good care of it.

[00:11:33]You fill it this line.

[00:11:35]>> Uh Thank you for helping me.

[00:11:43]>> Us broke girls got to stick together, I guess.

[00:11:45]>> Mhm.

[00:11:46]>> Let me know if you need any tips on how to stretch a dollar.

[00:11:49]I have a lot of experience [music] in that department.

[00:11:53]>> If you really mean that I could use some help.

[00:12:01]Please.

[00:12:04]Oh gosh, why is being poor so hard?

[00:12:08]>> Hey.

[00:12:09]Gentle reminder, you currently have a warm bed, three square meals a day, and oh yeah, access to one of the best universities in the world.

[00:12:18]>> You know what I mean. Everyone's going to know this isn't at home manicure.

[00:12:22]>> So?

[00:12:23]>> Oh, so what if people find out that I don't have real money? They're going to make fun of me, and and they're going to laugh, and and they're going to make silly videos and post them online.

[00:12:34]Billionaire goes broke.

[00:12:36]>> And?

[00:12:37]You might lose some status, but you'll still be in the same place you are now.

[00:12:41]Your tuition is paid up. No one can come and take that all away from you.

[00:12:46]Is that what you're afraid of?

[00:12:50]>> I'm the first person in my family to go to college.

[00:12:53]It's always been my dream.

[00:12:54]>> [music] >> My parents worked multiple jobs to get me here, and it's still a constant struggle.

[00:13:01]That's why I work so many jobs on top of taking classes.

[00:13:04]>> [music] >> It's exhausting, but I have to keep going for my parents and my future.

[00:13:11]>> Kind of puts my crappy manicure into perspective.

[00:13:14]>> Right?

[00:13:17]Come on.

[00:13:18]I know where the dining hall keeps all the gluten-free foods.

[00:13:21]>> What? They have gluten-free?

[00:13:24]So so I'm assuming it's like so what is it again? It's one? Just have a cup >> Uh Why would Alicia be hanging out with her thief of a roommate?

[00:13:33]>> I [music] don't know.

[00:13:35]Something is definitely up with her.

[00:13:37]I'm going to find out what.

[00:13:39]>> [music] >> Bid Day is the event of the shorty season. We have to be on point. Our lives depend on it.

[00:13:46]>> Well, don't worry. There's nothing I take more seriously than fashion.

[00:13:50]>> Really?

[00:13:51]Cuz I'm pretty sure that fits a repeat.

[00:13:55]>> Yeah. [laughter] Yeah, I know, right? I mean, these dorm room closets, they're just not big enough for my entire wardrobe.

[00:14:02]>> Yeah.

[00:14:02]>> Yeah, I'm I'm going to ask the Dean for a second room just to store my winter season clothes.

[00:14:09]Yeah.

[00:14:10]>> Well, today you can add one more piece to your collection. It's tradition for Faelan House prospects [music] to wear pink on Bid Day.

[00:14:16]>> [laughter] >> Oh my gosh. That one's so cute. We should all get one and match.

[00:14:28]>> You know, I don't usually do off-the-rack dresses, but you two should totally go for it.

[00:14:34]>> I'm just going to go and consult my stylist.

[00:14:36]>> But there's no time. It's literally tomorrow.

[00:14:38]>> This one's perfect.

[00:14:41]Come on, you can summit with us just this once.

[00:14:43]Unless there's some other reason you can't buy this dress today?

[00:14:47]>> No. No, you're totally right.

[00:14:50]This one's perfect.

[00:14:55]Oh my god. Oh my god.

[00:14:58]My credit cards, they're missing.

[00:15:01]>> [laughter] >> They must have fell out of my purse somewhere.

[00:15:04]>> Or someone stole it.

[00:15:07]>> Oh my gosh, Alicia, your roommate actually is a thief.

[00:15:11]>> Someone should have really report her. I mean, it's honestly a campus safety issue.

[00:15:16]>> Yeah.

[00:15:17]Yeah, you're right. I I I maybe I will.

[00:15:21]But after Bid Day, I would hate to ruin it with drama.

[00:15:25]And like I said before, my dad does not like scandal. He doesn't want any bad press associated with the Cole name.

[00:15:33]>> Oh, that gives me a great idea. One that will definitely bring good press [music] to the Cole name and make our pledge class one of the best ones that Bale House has ever seen.

[00:15:43]>> Oh?

[00:15:44]>> Yes.

[00:15:45]What if your dad [music] came to Bid Day and announced a huge donation to the sorority? It would be absolutely legendary.

[00:15:53]Yeah, and it would totally overshadow your roommate drama.

[00:15:56]>> That's genius.

[00:15:57]>> Yeah, I mean, money's no object [music] to your dad, right?

[00:16:00]What did you um call the other day? It's like um >> Pocket change?

[00:16:07]>> That That is >> [gasps] >> good idea.

[00:16:11]>> Yeah.

[00:16:13]I'm going to give him a call right now.

[00:16:15]Like right now. I will I'll be back.

[00:16:18]>> Pretty sure that phone call isn't going to go over too well.

[00:16:21]>> What do you mean?

[00:16:21]>> Well, I'm like 88% sure that our resident billionaire is completely broke.

[00:16:29]Banking glitches, stolen cards, repeat outfits.

[00:16:33]Too many coincidences.

[00:16:34]>> But then, why would you ask her to make such a big donation?

[00:16:38]>> To back her into a corner.

[00:16:40]At the Bid Ceremony, I can get her to admit that the Coles are financial frauds, which will break the biggest news story in a generation.

[00:16:48]That will definitely make me stand out to the sorority.

[00:16:52]>> But what if her dad actually comes through and makes the donation?

[00:16:56]>> Sorority gets a ton of money and it's still my idea. So, either way I still win.

[00:17:02]>> And you'll be one step closer to becoming the president of the Bale House.

[00:17:08]But what about Alicia? Wouldn't she care that you're just using her to get a step ahead?

[00:17:13]>> That's just the way the world works, Brea.

[00:17:16]Alicia knows that better than anyone.

[00:17:18]>> But Dad, isn't there something you can do? I mean, just >> Something you can sell?

[00:17:23]Or an account that you can unfreeze?

[00:17:25]>> We've discussed this, Alicia.

[00:17:27]>> But Dad, it's not for me. It's for my sorority.

[00:17:30]Please, I'm begging you, Dad. Please.

[00:17:32]>> I'm sorry, Alicia. I understand this sorority is important to you.

[00:17:37]I just can't do it.

[00:17:40]>> Thanks again for lending me money for the dress. I promise once I sell off the luggage, I'll be able to pay you back.

[00:17:47][music] >> I know you will.

[00:17:49]But are you sure this is the best way to spend your money?

[00:17:53]>> Well, I have to keep up appearances.

[00:17:55]It's bad enough I can't go through with the donation.

[00:17:59]Do you want to come to the after-party?

[00:18:01]I mean, once you're off work, of course.

[00:18:04]>> Really?

[00:18:06]Won't that [music] be bad for appearances?

[00:18:10]>> Well, it's a big party. I mean, no one will even notice you.

[00:18:15]And it would be nice to have a friendly face there.

[00:18:22]>> Thanks.

[00:18:23]But I should probably go home and study for my chem test tomorrow.

[00:18:28]If I ace it, the dean says I get to skip the chem 201. [music] I'm on track to graduate a semester early, which would save me so much money.

[00:18:35]>> Oh my god, that's amazing.

[00:18:38]Good luck.

[00:18:39]>> Thanks. You too.

[00:18:44]>> Oh, why is Dean Harris here?

[00:18:48]>> Uh she's a former president of Vail House. She's an alum.

[00:18:51]>> Oh, I'm going to head to the kitchen and clock in.

[00:18:55]>> So, how much is your dad donating to Vail House? 10,000? 20?

[00:18:59]I told all the sisters that we'd make the announcement tonight, and oh As a matter of fact, um can I have everyone's attention? Gather around.

[00:19:06]>> No, no, don't.

[00:19:07]>> What? Why not?

[00:19:09]This is huge for the house and for us.

[00:19:16]I have some exciting news. Sure you all know my fellow pledge Alicia Cole, I talked her dad, Victor Cole, into coming here tonight, >> [music] >> and he's going to announce a major pledge TO BALE HOUSE.

[00:19:28]>> [laughter] [applause and music] >> I >> [music] >> I'M I'M SORRY, UM, BUT but my dad couldn't come through tonight.

[00:19:41]>> Oh, no. But >> [music] >> he can still make the donation, right?

[00:19:46]>> Uh, she Unless he doesn't have the money.

[00:19:49]>> What are you talking about? Of course he has the money.

[00:19:53]>> I'm not [laughter] sure he does.

[00:19:56]Does he? I don't think he does.

[00:19:59]You know, I'm starting to suspect that the Coles have gone broke, and you've been hiding it from the world, which has got to be some kind of financial fraud. Yeah, why else would your dad not donate to his only daughter's Mr. Wardy? And why else would you not report your roommate for stealing from you?

[00:20:15]>> [music] >> Unless you lied about that, too.

[00:20:18]>> No.

[00:20:19]No, I I didn't lie. I didn't.

[00:20:21]>> Oh, well, then I guess it's a good thing that I told Dean about Maya.

[00:20:24]>> You did what?

[00:20:25]>> Stealing's a crime, Alicia. Probably just as big as [music] fraud.

[00:20:31]Wouldn't you agree?

[00:20:34]>> But it isn't true. I didn't steal.

[00:20:36]>> The reports [music] are serious and credible, Maya.

[00:20:39]>> Please, you have to believe me. Who would I have stolen from?

[00:20:42]>> Your roommate, Alicia Cole.

[00:20:45]And if the accusations are true, we will have to take disciplinary action. So, you could face suspension from school and be [music] expelled from the dormitories.

[00:20:57]>> No, we have to talk to Alicia. She'll back me up. Please.

[00:21:03]Alicia, please tell her I didn't steal from you.

[00:21:09]Just tell the truth.

[00:21:10]>> Yeah, Alicia.

[00:21:12]>> Tell the truth.

[00:21:14]If you're even capable of that.

[00:21:16]>> Ms. Franklin, this is not the time to make a scene.

[00:21:20]Let's go.

[00:21:21]>> I'll lose everything.

[00:21:32]>> [music] >> Please.

[00:21:39]>> [music] >> Let's go, we'll discuss this later.

[00:21:44]>> [music] >> Wait.

[00:21:48]Wait.

[00:21:52]Maya never stole from me.

[00:21:55]I am so sorry, Maya.

[00:21:57]>> [music] >> I thought I had to protect my reputation and status.

[00:22:01]I thought that was what was important. I mean, the people around me have always made [music] the most important thing.

[00:22:08]And I thought if I lost my money, I would lose everything that mattered.

[00:22:16]But I was wrong. You taught me that. And I am so, so sorry. [music] >> You still lied about Maya stealing from you.

[00:22:24]>> Yes.

[00:22:25]And that was wrong and horrible.

[00:22:28]But I'm not the one who [music] reported her.

[00:22:31]>> You did. And I told you not to.

[00:22:34]>> Is this true, Selena?

[00:22:35]>> I just wanted Alicia to admit that she's [music] broke.

[00:22:39]The Coles have no money.

[00:22:40]>> And I proved it.

[00:22:42]>> No, you did not.

[00:22:45]>> Dad.

[00:22:47]I thought you couldn't come.

[00:22:48]>> You told me how important this sorority [music] was to you. I wanted to be here for you. Even if I couldn't give you the money you asked for.

[00:22:55]>> Because you're broke.

[00:22:56]Admit it.

[00:22:58]>> That is categorically false. And I could have you charged with slander, young lady. The Cole family >> [music] >> and businesses are doing better than ever.

[00:23:08]>> But I thought you said my accounts were frozen.

[00:23:10]>> Yes, I froze them.

[00:23:13]I was worried about you becoming spoiled, Alicia.

[00:23:17]You needed a dose of reality.

[00:23:21]>> So, we're not poor?

[00:23:24]>> Hardly.

[00:23:25]>> Hardly.

[00:23:26]>> I wanted you to experience college like everyone else and see what kind of character you developed on your own.

[00:23:32]>> [music] >> And I am happy to see the progress you've made.

[00:23:36]>> But I'm I messed up. I made everyone believe that my roommate stole from me just because I wanted them to believe that I still had money.

[00:23:44]>> But you admitted your mistakes.

[00:23:47]And you put your friend before your reputation. That is character.

[00:23:55]Something some people, unfortunately, >> [music] >> never develop.

[00:23:59]>> Okay.

[00:24:01]If you're really still a billionaire, then prove it >> [music] >> by making a donation to Vail House tonight.

[00:24:09]>> That is another big difference between us, young lady. I do not have to prove anything.

[00:24:17]But I will leave the decision up to my daughter.

[00:24:21]I am willing to make a large donation tonight if you think [music] the Vail House is the right place for it.

[00:24:33]>> Actually, I can think of another place [music] that donation can go.

[00:24:38]There's this fund for students on campus who could use a little bit of extra support. I'm sure that [music] your donation can go a long way.

[00:24:50]You know, I don't really think Vail House is the [music] right fit for me anymore.

[00:25:04]>> Hey, looking good.

[00:25:06]>> I look like I'm going to wait tables.

[00:25:08]>> Exactly.

[00:25:09]>> I can't believe my dad's keeping my account frozen for another [music] 2 years. Haven't I built enough character already?

[00:25:16]>> Oh, did I tell you that I aced my chem test?

[00:25:19]>> Oh my god, that's amazing. Congratulations.

[00:25:22]>> Thank you.

[00:25:23]>> We should celebrate tonight.

[00:25:25]After work, of course.

[00:25:26]>> Well, I do know this place that does a two-for-one ice cream special [music] on Friday nights. It's not very fancy, but it's good.

[00:25:34]>> Sounds perfect.

[00:25:36]Do they have gluten-free options?
