Would you please explain this expression to me: "Nothing is too good for them, not even talent". I'm not sure I understand this correctly.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Anastasia!
The sentence is a play on words that uses an old phrase: "Nothing is too good for . . ." them, him her. It means that there's nothing that they don't have or possess in a way that they are spoiled with everything.
The sentence is actually quite sarcastic and insulting. It's a nasty criticism. The writer uses the phrase to say that there's nothing they don't have not even talent. The English reference here is double - entendres or double meaning. Using a "play on words" in this manner is advanced usage of the language.
Good luck with your learning goals in English.
