A short helicopter ride from New York, it is the millionaire’s playground where money is supposed to do all the talking.

But now one man is gleefully popping the egos of the wealthy elite in The Hamptons - with a biting Twitter feed  that mocks them all.

Joe Schwenk has been tweeting wry observations about city dwellers who come to the exclusive resort which show up how detached from reality they have become.

For Mr Schwenk however, his problems come from wealthy Manhattanites who are so high-powered and high stressed they are utterly clueless about anything.

His special wrath is reserved for ‘Hedgies’, or hedge fund managers who seem to cause him particular offence.

One of his Tweets reads: ‘Saving a boat that broke free from a mooring. Name of boat "just watch me". Should be "just watch me sink". Hedgies:pls learn to make a knot’.
