This Is What Happens When A Prime Minister's Son Complains About Housing Affordability

The meme bemoaned how difficult it is for young people to break into the housing market, blaming baby boomers for "destroying" it.

Many New Zealanders were not keen on hearing about Key's financial struggles given his family's wealth, and they were sure to let him know in the comments.

Max's father, John, has been prime minister of New Zealand since 2008. A former investment banker, he was listed in the National Business Review's "Rich List" with an estimated net worth of $55 million.
