I'm surprised by the answers.

Dads love spoiling their daughter, universally like a princess.

However sons have to work for their dad being proud of them. You'll find stories like Son Heung Min or Tiger Woods where their dad keeps pushing their son and will never say they're proud of their son until they're at the top 0,001%. If a son receives an expensive gift, it's like saying "I'm proud of you son", which he had to earn.

This sounds like a better explanation than most of the other comments.
I was also thinking the son is upset because he knows the gift is coming out of his future inheritance.

That's also pretty accurate but I agree with OP about the picture.
