My man, we have people almost as bad as these posh coneheads in Norway, and it's only been stinking rich for a generation or two!

Ah, maybe it doesn't take so long. As long as there's no living memory in the family of money really mattering that much, I guess that's all it takes.

I think it's more about the exceptionalism, tbh. Even (especially?) poor white Americans can be completely insufferable in similar ways.
It's the belief that you're a special people (or class) that arises with special treatment.
But yeah, in Norway you often marry that exceptionalism to the belief that no money problems will ever blight your life, and you're already pretty far along the path to full upper class English.
