It is flat out not okay to judge him negatively for not being one of the 1% and making the sort of personal financial decisions that come with having to work for your money and not inherit it. At the same time, I do think that complaints along the lines of him using the party credit card for personal expenses are legitimate as those charges are a matter of ethics not class.
