I think he is talking to his ex, someone who broke his heart. Did him wrong when he was just a regular struggling artist. Then he made himself a promise to succeed, so he goes back to her to show her that he is now rich and famous and she is nothing. He can make her year's salary in a week and he dates women who are more beautiful than her. They may be coke-heads but he loves them anyway. Its like a Great Gatsby, but in this one he doesn't want the girl, he just wants to shame her in his own twisted way.
@clicko You're kind of right. The song is a commentary on the negative nature of fame and fortune. It's about how fame and extravagance can damage an entertainers ego and cause them to overcompensate by mistreating others. In regards to your comment the ex would be fans and those who helped bring them success as well as those they feel are now jealous of that success-whether their fears are warranted or not.
