I actually imagine Weiss did have real hardships, though obviously still rich. To be honest, being rich and miserable is a touch worse than being poor and miserable. At least being poor gives you a sympathetic excuse. She has to admit that she probably gets lots of lovely trinkets and essentially any material desires are met without difficulty. Yet, all the riches in the world cannot buy you happiness or an enjoyable family experience. If she feels lonely it is likely because her home environment is stifling and not filled with love or affection. This also likely means she did not have any friends or playmates for whatever reason. Ruby notes that it is odd to see Weiss smile, which is probably because she has less reason to be happy than the others.
