Steve Wynn Rich People Hate Being Around Poor People
Steve Wynn is America's modern day Marie Antoinette ... or at least he sounded like her during a meeting with investors where the multi billionaire blasted poor people.
Wynn -- owner of the Wynn and Encore -- made a presentation this week and said, "Rich people only like being around rich people. Nobody likes being around poor people, especially poor people."
CNBC reports the casino mogul was talking up Wynn Resorts as offering aspirational appeal to everyone.
He added that his company "caters to the top end of the gaming world. We're sort of Chanel or Louis Vuitton."
"Let them eat cake" was catchier.

Steve Wynn Sued By Casino Dealers ... Split Aces, Not Tips
A group of Wynn Las Vegas casino dealers are pissed they have to split their tips with casino workers who customarily don't get tipped ... and now they've filed suit to get what they feel they deserve.
