AIBU to have very little to do with brother

The background is that he does well for himself ( business ) ... lives abroad .

Not exactly self made , grew up UK, not doing well at school , tearaway at 17 so got sent abroad to stay with wealthy relatives aged 19 , to learn to fend for himself etc.

The rest of us siblings ( all sisters ) did well at school with professional careers .

Brother gets bankrolled by wealthy relatives and parents support to set up own business and does well out of it eventually .( abroad )

Fast forward years and now we are all in 30s, and I have a young child aged 10 months wearing a gorgeous designer outfit and my brother is visiting UK.

Everyone commenting on the lovely outfit ( a gift ).

His comment is ‘ the point isn’t to LOOK like you are rich , the point is to BE rich ‘

Massive argument erupts , a lot of other things said .

Never received an apology .
Sick of the attitude .. I wouldn’t say I’m rich though some may say we do well for ourselves ....I’m never likely to receive financial support from my family for starting a business as I am not a boy ( I know ... my culture is warped ).

AIBU to be seriously pissed off and having little to do with this sibling ?

This is the general attitude we have to deal with from him ... he thinks he’s better than everyone and I suppose I’m fed up of it .

I would never have thought he’d be jealous to be honest ... just thought being a stuck up prick lol !
