True friends in SMU?

It is always seen in television shows that the rich will have many friends but once they become poor, most of their friends will start to ignore them. We may have seen many of such cases in shows, however, there are many of such cases in real life too.
It was reported that in Singapore Management University (SMU) such case really happened. People would only friend you if you own luxurious items and those that do not own such items were ignored and outcast.

Personally, I find these people very materialistic and superficial. If you only friend someone because he/she owns branded goods, the friendship would not last and you will not gain real happiness through it. By doing so, you will only become more materialistic and have lesser friends in time to come as your wants will start to increase and you will only want to gain from the friendship instead of giving.
