--- Quote from: Dliessmgg on 11 Feb 2010, 01:17 ---But it raises so many questions! How rich are his parents? If they're so super rich, why does he need a roomie? Why doesn't he have a fancier job?

Going to a private school doesn't necessarily mean your parents are rich. Indeed the fact that Angus refers to it as "One of those super-fancy prep schools for rich kids" suggests an outsider's viewpoint. Scholarship maybe? Or maybe just parents who, like many in the Chinese community here for example, were ready to sacrifice just about anything to pay for education. And if he was an "odd man out" at school, it might help explain his quirky personality, and later life choices.

Eh, not quite sure of that. The "education at all costs" mores in the US were more common at the beginning of the last century; not so much this one.
It's possible, though, that his parents are what we'd call "nouveau-riche": people who made their money in, say, the tech bubble or in the financial boom. Mommy and Daddy may have wanted him to go to a prep school, so he could get into an Ivy League college. I don't think Hampshire qualifies as that, though...
