* In ''[[Fanfic/MiraculousLadybugSaltShots A Price to Pay]]'', Adrien and his father prove to be [[LikeFatherLikeSon cut from the same cloth]]: both take it for granted that things will work out ''exactly'' the way they want, which [[LaserGuidedKarma bites them both in the butt]] when Adrien [[FaceHeelTurn betrays Ladybug]] and helps his father [[TheBadGuyWins make his Wish]].
** Since the Wish requires somebody to die in Emilie's place, Gabriel decides to sacrifice one of ''Marinette's'' parents [[EvilIsPetty just to be petty]]. So Tom Dupain-Cheng dies in the new reality...in a car accident Gabriel caused. Gabriel then [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney bribes his way]] to a legal victory, even ''[[EvilGloating laughing]]'' when the verdict rolls in...but is shocked to find that he's still ConvictedByPublicOpinion. And Emilie is so disgusted by his brazen disregard for the pain he caused that she divorces him -- the Wish [[ExactWords brought her back to life]], but didn't guarantee that she'd still be part of ''his'', or that she'd still love him. He simply took her love completely for granted.
** Adrien also expected that there wouldn't be any fallout from his [[FaceHeelTurn betrayal]] since reality would be retconned, spending his last moments in the original world lecturing Marinette about how [[BlamingTheVictim it's her fault]] that his father [[EarAche ripped the Earrings off her ears]], and that they'll [[EntitledToHaveYou be together after the Wish]]. His LackOfEmpathy and defending his father during the trial led to his mother [[IHaveNoSon disowning him]], and he's legitimately shocked when Marinette declares she won't help him "fix" their Wish, accusing her of being petty for not accepting his BackhandedApology.

* ''Fanfic/AMothersTouch'' has Reiji Akaba, his mother, and Sylvio Sawatari, all of whom are both wealthy and incredibly entitled. In the anime, the trio have a laundry list of crimes to their names, including theft, corruption of minors, false accusations and bribery, and don't care what they do to Yuya or anyone else so long as they get what they want. (Namely, ''his'' cards.) They also hid the matter of Yusho's disappearance, simply ''not caring'' how his family would handle it. They subsequently learn what happens when you mess with the son of a ''[[JapaneseDelinquents sukeban]]'', who rips them a collective new one.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' [[AccusationFic Salt-Shot]] ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/44607043/chapters/121613383 A Price to Pay]]'', Adrien and his father prove to be [[LikeFatherLikeSon cut from the same cloth]]: both take it for granted that things will work out ''exactly'' the way they want, which [[LaserGuidedKarma bites them both in the butt]] when Adrien [[FaceHeelTurn betrays Ladybug]] and helps his father [[TheBadGuyWins make his Wish]].

* ''Manga/DeathNote'': Light Yagami is popular with the ladies, gets praised for his intellect, and has some of the kindest parents. And yet, when he finds the Death Note, he uses it to be viewed as a god.

** Freeza is the heir to an intergalactic empire. His father King Cold is overly doting, and as Cooler implies, he spoiled him rotten. He's also a mass-murdering sociopath that has destroyed many planets.

** Who can forget Vegeta? Being the Prince of a ProudWarriorRace who worked under Freeza and shows no remorse for his slaughtering. All with a huge ego to boot. He has mellowed out after his HeelFaceTurn to a degree.

** Katsuki Bakugou gets blessed with a really powerful Quirk at a young age, leading many to praise him. This causes him to develop a huge superiority complex and become TheBully.

** Ichiryusai Madarame is a famous artist who started suffering from Artists Block, so he began stealing his students' art projects to pass off as his own. One of his former students committed suicide, and he deliberately let another student, Yusuke's mother, die from a seizure so he can get away with selling her painting.
** Kunikazu Okumura is the CorruptCorporateExecutive of a food business that went into fast food. He combines this with AmbitionIsEvil since we learn he's motivated by his impoverished childhood and a desire to be the opposite of his father (a kind-hearted businessman who was not very successful.) He achieves his success by running his workers to the ground with minimal breaks and tries to achieve political power by marrying off his daughter Haru to the son of a prominent senator.

** Masayoshi Shido is a CorruptPolitician who uses his connections to get away with atrocities including murder and rape. When the Protagonist caught him trying to have his way with a woman and he ended up tripping on his own feet, [[NeverMyFault he pressed charges against the Protagonist]], an act that would ultimately [[CreateYourOwnHero come back to haunt him]].
