I’m not kidding.”<\/p>\n “It was when I was in my 20s that my mom and I talked at some point, because there he was, on this list. And we laughed about it, because we said, ‘Well, isn’t it funny? You know, we know who we are, but everybody’s treating us differently now.’ It was a fascinating switch, although not a huge one, because we didn’t live in that world, or a cultural framework, where there was a lot of wealth being shown,” Peter, a musician, continued. “Our friends were as surprised as I was.”<\/p>\n Warren, for his part, added of the situation: “The kids were formed by that time, and they knew who their friends were, and their friends were their friends because they liked ’em, and not because they were the rich kid on the block or anything of the sort.”<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/strong><\/p>\n
