About
Rich Raven, also known as Carnegie Crow, is an Advice Animal image macro series featuring a raven with seemingly immense wealth. The text first references a luxury or highly desired item or situation, which then Rich Raven scoffs desdainfully. Another variation refers an everyday item, but then presenting a ridiculously luxurious version.
Origin
The original image is (ironically) of a Common Raven (Corvus Corax) taken by photographer Timothy Blackmore and posted in his zezero.com website on 1997.[1] According to recounts, Rich Raven macros have been appearing since 2008.[2] Before being used as an Advice Animal macro, the original picture was photoshopped with a top hat (or gibus), cane, and a bottle of liquor.

Ok. Work, or Deadpool. Massive image dumps does not the meme make. This probably is a meme, but it needs to be edited hard.
