Comedian Nikki Osborne has brutally slapped wealthy Australians in a harsh column.
The Australian comedian and actress, 42, wrote that when she complains about her “sliding career” she is annoyed by the advice of wealthier people who “cling to the self-proclaimed title of wise man.”
“Yes, you clearly did something right at some point to achieve this financial status… but patronizing me… won't work… I'm here today to disprove that wealth = wisdom,” she wrote in a column for The Daily Telegraph.
Nikki continued to reach out to baby boomers and address recent debates about generational wealth disparities.
“When you bought a house it was only three times your annual salary, whereas now it's more like ten times double your income. 'That's right, both parents have to work now.'
Even wealthy celebrities and other successful people couldn't miss Nikki's criticism, with the columnist claiming: “The more successful you become, the more removed you become from reality.”

This comes after Nikki recently revealed that her two young sons were taken away from her during a frightening ordeal at Dubai airport and checked for “explosives”.
She had been holidaying in France with sons Will, 15, and Teddy, 10, before catching a flight back to Australia and was in transit in the early hours of the morning.
Recalling the exciting time in The Courier Mail, Nikki said airport officials waved them through but stopped the boys for inspection.
Nikki further targeted baby boomers, saying: “When you bought a house it was only three times your annual salary, whereas now it's more like ten times double your income. 'That's right, both parents have to work now'
Wealthy celebrities and other successful figures were also able to somewhat deflect Nikki's criticism, with the columnist claiming, “The more successful you become, the more removed you become from reality.”
“I handed security our three boarding passes and passports and, to my confusion, instead of handing them all back to me, he identified my two boys, pointed to them, gave them the relevant papers and then said to me, 'Lady, you.' Go through the gate to board your plane. “Boys, come with me,” she explained.
Nikki said she refused to leave her two little boys, who were frozen in fear.
She added that one of her sons even loudly said “Stop her” after she was told he would be separated from her.
It comes as Nikki revealed her two young sons were taken away from her during a frightening ordeal at Dubai airport and checked for “explosives”.
“I went into mama bear mode and said, 'Noooo, they're staying with me or I'm coming with them,'” she said.
“It's 2:30 in the morning, in a foreign country, they've got my boys, they've got their passports, what do I have to do to stop them?” We've seen the films. “We know that traveling abroad can happen quickly.”
The two boys were then led into an examination room, where Nikki marched behind him.

Nikki noticed that apart from her, only adults and not children were checked.
After the examination, the trio boarded their flight back to Australia.
Nikki scolded the airport staff and asked, “Who in their right mind thinks it's OK to separate little children from their mother?”
The performer added that her two sons were deeply affected by the incident and one of them cried throughout the entire 14-hour flight home.
Finally, she warned other holidaymakers planning a trip through Dubai and said she hopes a similar incident does not happen to her family.
