One of the ways you can tell is if they do something a lot that doesn't appear to make any money but costs a lot. For example - the Mike Stern Trio are a great band but it's not music or a show that used to sell a whole lot of tickets. Turns out that Mike's father is a billionaire, which is likely how he can afford to do it. Mike's guitar playing is great but not highly commercial. Another good example is Julia-Louis Dreyfus - who had quite a tenuous hold in the comedy world for about a decade before she cracked the big time with Seinfeld in about 1992. Most people couldn't afford a decade of that - her father is also a billionaire. Likewise, Kevin Bacon is married to actress Kyra Sedgwick (half sister of Mike Stern, sharing the same billionaire father) and we all know that Kevin actually wasn't in a whole lot of films and rarely plays the lead role. Most actors can't sustain a 40 year career doing that. This isn't criticism - most people with access to their money don't contribute as much as they do to the world. It's just simple and unignorable facts - touring the world in a poorly selling band multiple times, playing bit comedy parts for a decade and being a highly-selective supporting actor for 40 years are not forms of work that will pay the bills over that time, if someone isn't financed from some other source.
Some of these are definitely true. Started working a new job recently and my boss was someone you could tell was extremely wealthy. Good quality shoes and bags, nice watches, nice fitting, good quality clothes, but no brand names on anything. She was well groomed, spoke politely and intelligently, and was kind to everyone. I remember when she treated all the staff members to lunch at a high end hotel, she didn't even look at the bill, just called the waiter and quietly passed her card over. Found out later that she and her husband owned the school I was working at, the hotel we ate in, the amusement park beside it, the golf course, and basically developed half of the area I lived in. Co-worker told me once, "everything you can see outside this window were built by them". I find that people who are truly rich are comfortable in their own skin, they have no need to show off or to prove that they are rich. It is the fake poor that flaunt brand names and get defensive and self-conscious when they 'think' you look down on them. Wealthy people also treat people well, because they know that the people around them are important assets.
I’m the CEO of my businesses and I often come to my organisations where my staff wear LV, Armani, custom Saville Row suits, one even drives a Ferrari etc whilst I drive a fk’d up Honda whilst wearing an oily Ford Mustang shirt and my old work pants, which was for Domino’s. I often shout out “That’s what she said!” and just get away with it. I wear and do whatever is comfortable for myself whilst everyone is just a square and makes money for me. Smart.
@@fortitudevalance8424 you sound awesome. I’m like that as well. No take that back. I like a luxury car but ya I’ll say whatever I want. I like to make my employees laugh and I like my employees to feel a pride in the job and feel appreciated.
Illosovic Stayne Money in this context refers to “new money,” I.e. people wanting to be flashy and show off they have money and wealth in this context refers to those that have assets, solid cash flow that do not need to flaunt their wealth
I'm an insurance agent/ account manager to the wealthy and much of this is very true. One huge thing I notice about old money is that the people of old money are VERY nice and down to earth.
You are a fool to be mean to someone who manages your money. A fool and his money are soon parted. That's why people who have had money for a long time are always, always nice to their insurance account managers, financial advisors, etc.
@@evelynzlon9492fwiw, these so called Karen’s in modern videos have no idea what they’re doing when they yell at and harass employees at a business, do that and you just guaranteed poor customer service for life with that business. Like someone flipping burgers at Burger King is just going to turn up the grill to 2000 degrees to speed up cooking a burger 🤔😳🙄😂jk
@@IndyAvocadoKid It's all too to treat low-rung employees like trash because real wages for these workers has dwindled over time. The minimum wage is no longer a living wage. In stark contrast to the 1% who have taken off like a rocket. In every sense the highly successful are walking ALL OVER the poor. Often, lower and middle management are the messengers who in-your-face act like it.
After you reach a certain income, you start to realize the money really isn't the most valuable thing in life. It's TIME. Time is worth much much more than millions. Retiring early and enjoying life while I'm healthy. It's the only item on my bucket list.
I knew a super-rich guy when I was in my early 20s. He drove an old beat-up car, dressed like everyone else, rarely had money to do things the rest of us couldn't afford to do. We were good friends for a year before I was invited to his home. He made sure his friends were REAL friends before he allowed them to know that his family was extremely wealthy. Now I see people that appear to be like the rest of us and wonder how many of them are secretly ultra wealthy.
My Dad drove a 1977 VW Kombi up until 2010. His father retired at 45. Dad at 55. Both flew on Concorde. His father had a 20 year old Camry. It was Land, Land & more Land that made them financially successful.
@@lukespector5550 The rich want servants or slaves who they can pay below minimum wage and if they can get away with it want things for free because they're little gods who must be worshiped. Stingy with tips and paychecks and very smug since others are below them. A survey should be taken of those who have to deal with them to see that those who are considered poor or middle class are more humble, generous and kind and look out for their workers.
He may not have access to the money yet. His parents may have tied it up in his inheritance. They may also want him to appreciate money and live a normal life. Good for them! He sounds like a great guy.

I love this video! Thank you so much! Something I wanted to add: as a young girl my parents would always ask about the "family" of someone I wanted to date. They would always say, "sweetie, it's not the money that counts, just make sure he comes from a good family."
Amusing how many people feel offended by your comment and now have to reveal how they are actually “wealthy” and still watch this video. Well, two things: Firstly, good for you if you’re not just talking BS. Secondly, in any case those comments qualify you as both nouveau riche and lower class - because no sophisticated and civilized gentlemen (or woman) would ever respond in such a lower class manner. And lastly - for all those simpletons out there - no, having a lot of money does not make you upper class at all. In fact, upper class has nothing to do with money whatsoever.
Your revolution is over. Condolences. The bums lost. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me?
“What’s one time you found out someone is really rich?” I was in College. Jokingly said to my friend, “Nice bag! Can you give it to me?” 😁 then she tossed all the things inside her bag in a plastic bag and gave the bag to me. It was a louis vuitton bag which was worth $2000. She was always wearing plain clothes (but looks so comfy and with high quality) and a subtle accessories or a bag that ordinary college student can’t afford. I always know she was rich but i didnt expect her to be that crazy rich!!! We’re still friends and I think I learnt a lot from her! ❤️
I was thinking the exact same thing.. To say that as a blanket point is simply false. Completely and entirely ignoring every price tag no matter what? That's just idiotic. Having a price in mind of what you believe something is worth paying is what a truly wealthy individual does, trust me.. I seldom comment, but this was worth taking the moment to do so.
@@SGVirtusAuthor Maybe those born with a "silver spoon" are generally not cost-conscious. But the self-made ones would definitely mind how their resources are used. From time to time they would splurge, but not frequently.
There’s a difference between being conscious of how or what you’re spending on and looking at prices. And keep in mind, this vid is talking about the super rich for the most part. Not the the people who are comfortable after working hard for 40 years. I believe you’re confusing wealthy with rich. A better example of this is when someone travels, will they pay $20,000 for a first class flight or rent a $20k-$30k a night hotel? It’s not a question of “should I spend this money?” As much as it is “the $20,000 a night hotel is such a non-issue. My comfort is important... meh, just get it”.
True true story from a friend. Many yrs ago a janitor at my friend’s workplace all of a sudden announced he was retiring. This was it. Everyone learned that he had been silently in the stock mkt for a few decades and had done very very well. Needless to say it was a TOTAL shocker. Never judge a book by its cover.
I found out my old neighbor was a millions after being friends with her for 2 yrs. She’s frugal on a daily basis but always purchases good food regarding of the cost and always gets the best seat in the house at Broadway shows. Last big expense for her was a 60k surgery for her dog. She was so grateful that she was able to get the best care for her dog.
i remember my friend who is a socialite and works in a luxury fashion magazine. you wouldnt know she is from an old rich family because you can see her attend to models and photographers, carrying their luggage, serving lunch to staffs, etc.
My wife used to have a client, that turned out to be part of one of Indonesia wealthiest families. We’re talking Forbes list. And very humble and easy going people.
I was raised poor/middle class. In my 30’s I began investing in real estate and quickly gained financial success. Although my finances have changed I don’t wear name brand clothes or jewelry as a result people typically have no idea. Other than the bank tellers treating you super nice it’s cool to be incognito and not have to worry about money lol.
My favorite one is “they spend money to save time, not time to save money”. The wealthy value their time above ALL else! Excellent value. You guys inspired me to create my own self improvement/personal finance channel! Thank you!!
One of the wealthiest men I ever knew always wore out bib overalls, drove a beat-up Datsun pickup truck, and wore beat-up shoes. He owed half the property in a Northeast Ohio town in the 1980s. He worked every day I knew him and was a very dear friend for many years.
No. 8 most rich people are aloof. They maintain connections and important relations but they don’t socialise and make small talk with every one they meet
True ... also No. 6 at 6:45 only rich people that like losing their wealth have financial advisors and trust them, smart people can do without them ... "a fool and his money are soon parted"
"The quickest way to get rich, is taking a luxury that is reserved for the rich & making it avaible to the masses!!" I FEEL THAT!... Time is a luxury....
@@alux #3 rich people do wear designer brands and high end clothes but they carry themselves like it's another piece of clothing and aren't flashy about it. Many wealthy women wear Louboutins as well as Poor women.

@@allansmith7305 Look, man, I've got certain information, all right? Certain things have come to light.

I am now 62 years old, my grandfather held the title of both Viscount and Baron,I did not grow up thinking MONEY had anything to do with "wealth" I grew up knowing that an inherited title comes with great responsibility - it's one thing to posture and call attention to yourself it's a different matter to be grateful and realise your situation is a privilege not a right and that a person's merit lies in the kind of person you are and not in what you have materially.
I've worked as a private nurse for several billionaires and a lot of these are true. NOT ALL of them apply, but the super wealthy, especially the old rich, are usually very low profile. Wanting privacy is probably their biggest common quality. You'll probably never know they're billionaires when you see them on the streets (A lot of them wear old clothes and have zero brands).
I worked at the 1st class of emirates airlines A380 where there were "shower spas" inside the airplane, so they can shower even up in the sky... These rich people are usually quiet, soft-spoken, dressed conservatively, polite, and were not that demanding. There is a private bar lounge with several alcoholic drinks (including a bottle of Dom Pérignon), Godiva chocolates and hors d'oeuvres, but most would be happy just inside their private cabins in 1st class, not touching whats free :)
One time, a customer at my work came in wearing a hooded top and plain jeans. She didnt really give off anything noticeable at all that she was rich, and i only figured out she possibly was when i asked her (like with any customer btw) if she would like to add a tip on her card for the baristas. She said "yeah give them $20". And i realized how solid metal black her card was then lol i joked with her "wow 20 thank you so much, are you like secretly wealthy? XD" and she gave me this very stern yet open expression and said "yeah actually", and walked off. She was so cool about it. Wealthy people can honestly walk amongst us looking like average or below average folks. She was an example i couldnt forget lol
While working as a teller, I would often see this construction worker come in. You know the look, strong guy that's you always see in his work coveralls and boots. After a year I found out that he was not, in fact, a laborer, but a billionaire who wanted to learn how to make a house. He commissioned a vacation home and worked with the contractors to build it. Talk about a change in appearance the first time I was him in a suit and ready for a boardroom.
Years ago, my Dad felt sorry for this old guy sitting at a bar and bought him a drink. This was in a very small town with lots of farmers around. Who never were in the bar that time of day (they were working on the farms). This guy was in ancient overalls, raggy shirt, beat up shoes, torn straw hat, and drove a very beat up old pickup truck (paint job essentially down to the primer). After the guy left, one of the other men told my Dad who he was - the wealthiest guy around for miles. He was a multi-millionaire. He really did NOT care about appearances!
There is nothing admirable about a bum with money. Remove the money and you still have a bum. A wealthy person with class who has their money removed still has class.
@@luxebeauty5706 it's not because the guy doesn't value showing off fancy clothes and shiny cars that he's a bum. "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
I worked at a resort. You could tell which ones were old money and ones with new money. The old money would be polite and greet you. While the new money would snub you. It was hard because I'm a people person and love meeting new people.
My first experience was with a family that her husband was on the cover of Forbes they lived so modestly that I thought it was a souvenir that they had made, it was encased and on a special shelf. She allowed me open it and read his story to see that it was true! The article was about the business he created years ago and he was still running at the time I was working with them. I learned so much from them both. They really took me in and grew me!
Love it. Those covers are in dens and bought as a novelty souvenir so friends can say “Dan, wealthiest man in Minnesota, did Tammy buy that for you?” Only this time, it was real
In my country i used to work in the wealthiest part of the city and i noticed that rich people (recognizable by their cars) are always polite on the road: they would let u cross calmly, seldom horn etc. I always wondered if they're not in a hurry cos they already have money or if they don't want to fight on the road so they dont damage their cars, or if being calm and collected when driving is a trait that actually comes with wealth. Anyway, i decided to act like them when on the road 😂
It's more because they have less stress in their life. They also want to treat other people well because after you remove money out of the equation, it's all about how people treat you.
i noticed this, too. I went to two different Walmarts in the same day: one in a rich neighborhood and one in a poor neighborhood. The driving manners were night and day different. I think it's because rich people, in general, know that if you are considerate of other people than other people will treat you accordingly.
It is because those of us who are wealthy know how this universe works. We know that a high vibration attracts that which we desire. It will attract similar feeling events, people and circumstances that make us feel that positively again. Honking and having road rage is a very low vibration, which will attract similar feeling events, people and circumstances that make us feel negatively again.
I find myself having a lot of these traits (and I am not wealthy). I think most of them have to do more with class than money (even though they walk hand in hand). Charisma, taste, class, and a brand. I guess this thinking and way of life is part of my growth mindset.
Being wealthy gives you life lessons. People want to take advantage of you, people also want you to work for them for free being their doctor, their lawyer, their handyman, everyfuckingthing, this is fine if it's just one friend but when it becomes an every growing amount of people, you realise that they're all exploiting you and holding the gossip of "money has changed him" as a way to keep you in line. So it's a natural defense mechanism to present yourself in a way that's ambiguous to your income, fill your time with excuses and only provide your friendship and loyality to those who deserve it. Any person can exhibit all the positive traits you mention if they're independent, respect people time and privacy and has a little taste.
True. I've worked for corporate presidents. Some of them tell me to go to a certain car wash (asking for certain services) because they've heard about discounts at that place.

A classmate in my statistics class at uni always had on really worn out clothes and was always smiling. He turned out to actually own a personal plane. Wealthy family!
Well I learned from a young age that the world of the wealthy is split into 3. *Old money* ( transgenerational wealth), *New money* ( recently made wealthy typically self made and flashy) and *Quiet money* ( can be old or new money, but you wouldn't know they are wealthy since they don't flash, are humble, typically self made, financially conservative and blend in well especially into high middle class neighborhoods and lifestyle). I met them all, quiet money are the most interesting and better to get along with since they are not entitled and aware of the world, typically very worldly and intellectual.
Sooo true they make the best type of conversation, especially to learn from their experiences. On thing I've personally noticed people in this category love helping other on the "low"
I do too. I just decided to move out of MN. I am a single, chocolate woman and I have noticed the racism here. In the jobs Ive had up til 2019 and as far as opposite sex relationships. I love my privacy and freedom and nobody is worth me giving it up. 8-25-21
To be successful in life , just do something that will earn you money while you sleep, no matter how little. The pandemic was a prefect eye opener to really see how life can be without the usual income steam and every one had to sit at home 🏡. Well I never felt it because of my investment in a crypto trading company where I earn 4 figures weekly. The best one can do for himself is to invest more and spend less
#4 isn't correct in my experience. I have a self-made triple-digit millionaire friend and he is concerned about the tiniest detail when he spends money. He checks the price of everything.
“A fool and his gold are soon parted.” People may and will overcharge you if they think you’re rich. Companies will charge more for services and products in more affluent towns, despite offering the same service or products for cheaper in lesser. If you fall for this scam repeatedly, you won’t stay rich long. If you act like “I don’t care what it costs,” well, then you won’t mind getting robbed blind. Check the price, and if you don’t agree with it, walk away.
@@danielemoyon1649 Yeah i also believe many rich people are careful with their money. Because for me if you are not it is very easy to blow it all. Been enough cases of rich people blowing their fortune and are now poor.
The one time I let a complete stranger take a call on my phone, I had the best experience of my life. It taught me to behave as if I was wealthy at all times, even though I am poor as a church mouse. It is a mental setting, I never will abandon.
When i came to university i had a bit of a drinking problem, but it meant i met a lot of people. One person in particular i would drink with almost daily (but he would never get out of control). When i landed myself a decent paying job and was making more than most of my friends i would be a bit of a show off and splash my money around. With said friend, we would go out to restaurants every week and eventually he took me to dinner in a significantly more expensive place and i asked him how he could afford it. I found out his Dad was pretty high up in apple and had plenty of money. He told me 'he didn't want everyone to know though because he is more than just his money'. That tought me a huge lesson in being humble and respectable
People who poorly judge people actually working at any wage in a capitalist economy are what I call a champagne socialist. Billionaire capitalists truly appreciate any person working for money.
tell that to the financially ignorant common folk in dfw, texas. I have to waste time explaining that an $8M net worth janitor can provide more finances than most doctors
@WINNER lol sorry but it’s your own fault that you’re broke. Lol my dad came from an immigrant background and became a millionaire. What’s stopping ya? LAZZINESS!!! Also he me made earn my money since I was 5 in hot summer vacation days when it was above 100F… lol no excuse!

"Time is a luxury" Indeed, making use of time wisely could make us happier as what happens can never be experienced again. Money is equally important however we can always earn it while time can't be. Thanks so much for posting this type of motivational video, keep it up💖💖.
The really wealthy ones in NYC don’t even go out to restaurants. They have their own private chefs living in their townhouses. Thus you hardly see them in public
I used to work as a butler for an establishment. That's when I met a guest who had come from such humble means but his persiverence and love for what he does has made him the richest person of New Zealand. I got some very good valuable lessons from that gentleman.
My Mom is like this, she is quiet about her huge wealth. To look at her you would never know, she shuns brands like Prada or Chanel. She has lots of luxury brands but prefers to carry small practical purses and wallets and wear casual comfortable clothes. She's not a miser either, she enjoys entertaining her friends at home with big dinner parties and travels a lot. Her life inspires me.
@@yankeedoodle6293 I think the video is referring to old money . I'm a teacher and real estate investor with a net worth of approximately 3 million. I still have to work and my network is still lower to middle class people. We are not part of the elite.
@@yankeedoodle6293 I'm in NYC, my properties have appreciated quiet a bit so I'm going to be cashing out. Nyc is just a horrible nightmare for landlords. I just had a tenant stay for a year and half for free. Too much stress. I may go to a tenant friendly place.
“Fortify yourself with moderation.” The goal is to be wealthy and pass it down not to look wealthy. Rich and wealthy are not the same thing; not even close.
I wholeheartedly agree. Greed, ostentatious behavior and lavish spending are poisonous qualities. There's nothing wrong with wanting and striving for more. One shouldn't have an inflated ego and be arrogant though. Discipline and self control are key.
My Uncle use to smell really bad every day and family members would laugh at him. He would always talk to me and take me to lunch. One day I asked him why and he said one day he wants to build my house and he wants me to pay full price without negotiating. That day did come true. Thanks Alux!
There are values that are attached to wealth that stay even if wealth is lost. I have found this to be true over time. During my career in Academia, I met an elderly gentleman who was the Director of our university library. He was a quiet and very knowledgeable man of impeccable manners, who was a pleasure to work with. Many years later, I learned he was an exiled Hungarian Count who had helped many jews escape from the Nazis during WWII. Likewise, I had an old friend and classmate who was always very low key and down to earth. Many years after meeting her I found out she was a granddaughter of the Cuban founder of Partagas cigars, a family of enormous wealth who lost it all through the Castrist revolution. In both cases, I learned their backgrounds by chance because neither ever discussed nor flaunted it. In my opinion, that is true class.
@ravensonng If he was a Count then his demeanour is from hundreds of years of upbringing. I would imagine his offspring have already made back the fortune that was stolen from him.
I can relate to this actually. Somebody I know has one side of the family was heavily involved with politics and governance in South Vietnam before the War. During the Vietnam War, his entire family lost all their wealth when the communists took over the region. However, they slowly regained back their wealth and because of the networking and reputation that his great-grandfather and grandfather had during those days. He would have what I would call a "rich person" mindset and the assistance from the network.
@@LisaMaryificationAristocratic titles are more about accomplishments not money....they often don't have capitalist type values. An aristocratic title is bestowed on someone for performing an important service for their king/emperor etc. This can consist of negotiating a successful peace treaty, or making an important scientific discovery.

@@angelcanales9480 there is literally ton of stuff that where consider luxury not long ago and are now available to everybody today. So it your comment that dont make much sens.
Buying buildings or land with cash means mafia or drug dealers. Rich people do keep their money in banks. Just, different banks. Eg, in the UK, C. Hoare & Co.
I found out my friend was wealthy when she mentioned she was having a Christmas dinner party for over 20 people the next evening. I couldn’t believe she was so calm because I would have been frantic planning/preparing/shopping/cooking etc but she was totally relaxed about the whole thing. Then casually mentioned she was having the dinner party catered with a private chef and wait staff. And I just thought how cool (and efficient) that was.
When I was in prep school in the 1970's a classmate was driving a 12 year old rattle trap of a car. I later found out that his dad's net worth was greater than 220 Milion. Keep in mind that this was in the 1970's.
My friend I've known since Jr High school in the 70's found out his Dad was a Billionaire after he passed. His Dad was Cool back in the day. His brother worked with him doing Real Estate. He also owned Business around the world, he owned Stocks, bought Oil, Gold, etc. He was low key and valued his privacy. He loved going 2 Vegas his favorite was Sports betting.
I married VERY rich and had a crash course in social media and a few other things. Fastest lesson was get rid of all your social media. No one needs to know
My Mom is an private health aide to a lady whose husband was a millionaire. He left her a trust for after his passing. His wealth transfers to his grandson. In their family it is tradition to pass the wealth by skipping a generation. So his son received wealth from the grandfather. Their home is nice, but modest compared to what I'd imagine a millionaire living in. It is also in a remote part of a beautiful state. The lady is very kind and even attended my brother's wedding. She sees her aides as her family in a way. She attended Vassar as a young woman and had servants in her home growing up. She was a southern belle. I've met her and her husband. Their clothes were simple but good quality, as is their home. Wealth truly whispers. Wealth is refined.

I live in a resort area. I once rented out a room in my house here in Hawaii to an athlete who was into water sports. In the morning, he would work at his desk, then in the afternoon he would go windsurfing. In the winter, he did ski patrol in Aspen. I asked him what kind of work he was doing. He told me he sat on a few boards. Years later, I found out his family had incredible generational wealth, several businesses, and was the second or third largest landowner in the nation. No one on the island was at all aware he had money.
I think that really depends how people came into their wealth. People who have hustled hard know what it's like to start from the bottom, often times having worked those same service jobs, so they have a level of empathy that often gets lost on those who are born into wealth. Of course there are always exceptions, but, at least with the people I've known who have come from modest means and have moved into the upper or upper middle classes, are all very empathetic to the struggles of service industry workers. It seems like the people who are pretending to be wealthy (e.g. they get a Platinum card to flash at restaurants, but leave a 5% tip) are the douchiest people on the planet. They seem to be worse than the people who are born into wealth because they know they're riding so far along the edge of financial stability that the stress of maintaining the charade piles up and they act like dicks to everyone else because of their own insecurities.
I have noticed an easy way to tell if a wealthy person is self made or was gifted wealth … the self made or ones who had to grind and earn their wealth love telling you very useful information and want you to have wealth and usually tip and appreciate services, the ones who were given their wealth seem to almost always want to tell you about their materials and cost and don’t want anyone else to have money.
I’ve been in the room with many rich people. Some billionaires even. The richest always look like they have nothing. Seriously they look like a normal person. Sometimes an expensive watch on their wrist gives it away but that’s super subtle...
I doubt that. If you look at what you're saying think about extremely rich celebrities. They do not dress poorly. Very wealthy corporate types also dress well. Bespoke clothing etc. Rolex or Piaget watch. How many rich circles do you mix in? If none. Then you know nothing.
Julie Randall you sound misinformed. Super wealthy people do not need to come off as wealthy, their work and business speaks for itself. As for middle class trying to be rich, they dress and fit a stereotype of rich because that is exactly the image they are trying to provide.
@@LilSexyGAMER Are you American by any chance? Only I am English and we tend to do things differently over here. The super rich here don't go around looking like scruffy Zucker for example. I actually know billionaires on the London circuit and not one of them turns up to a society party dressed in a t-shirt and jeans!! That's just rude. Everybody there is well dressed in bespoke designer clothing out of respect for the host. That is how London Society conducts itself. We are an old world country so we tend not to change too much sometimes. I know billionaires who have their own helicopters or have second homes in the most expensive streets of Paris. I don't just sit in a room with random rich people, I actually know them. You should not presume others knowledge based upon your own. Very dangerous. Different countries adopt different ways. America is a new country and doesn't have the same class system for a start. If a party goer were to turn up in dressed down scruffy attire they would not be welcomed. For example I was at a party in London on the Thames at a penthouse apartment worth over £10M. And that was just ONE of their homes. I think I know what I'm talking about.
I didn’t know my family had money until I went to university and met friends from different backgrounds. Up until then, my upbringing was very protected through private schools, friends from the same background, always traveling as a family. I assumed everyone had two nannies growing up. I assumed most people had gardeners, housekeepers, a cook, a majordomo, etc. it was a huge wake-up call.
I'm so happy you were able to realise that not all rich people have nannies or housekeepers or maids or someone to put on and then pull of their shoes.I found out as well and I now put on the shoes I've bought at the outlet shops.
A friend of mine had a similar upbringing. She also thought every kid had a nanny and personal driver until I asked her if her nanny's kids had a nanny and if her driver had a driver. You said you were very protected but you were actually in daily contact with people who obvious don't have the same privilege as you.
Bart Watts i grew up in a blue collar working class neighborhood. My parents were never in debt with credit cards and such as they were frugal and knew the value of a dollar even though they were not rich. No nannies, no private schools, no exotic vacations just simple living. I now have that same frugal mentality I saw in them growing up, no credit card debt, no car debt but with money to invest.
My whole life I’ve always maintained Time is more valuable than money, money you can always make but once time is gone it can never be replaced. I’m still trying to build my wealth and I love watching these A Lux videos which help to motivate and inspire my journey through real estate!
A few years ago I was employed by one of the richest and most influential families on the west coast. I haven't met the wife yet, so one day this pretty woman walked into the room and after greeting us, just kept going. That's when I was informed that she was the matriarch. She was wearing coveralls and a checkered shirt and carrying cleaning supplies. She had no makeup on and her hair was in a neat ponytail. I assumed she was the cleaning lady..LOL. She also turned out to be a former supermodel and yet very sweet, down to earth nice. I also have a childhood friend who is a self made super rich, yet he grows veggies in the front yard of his mansion. His neighbors are very annoyed, but are too afraid of him to do anything about it, since they know he's the only one in that neighborhood who purchased that mansion with cash.
My mom was babysitting at a nice house on the beach in long beach, doors left open Scruffy person at screen door just dropping by to see family, my mom pretty much shooed away Told family when they came home Oh that was mr knudsen, he was on milk cartons, not his picture, just his name and everything else in the dairy section
This happens a lot in California. The really rich older women / matriarch are actually very nice. I once wandered into a golf club right next to highway 1 on the pacific. They offered me tea, etc while my dad used the restroom. Right next to the golf club was an infinity pool looking out to the pacific. Every older female smiled at us while they were coming or going. When we left I noticed they were all driving range rovers. 😂🤣
When i was working in a luxurious hotel, we had this one reguler VIP guest who owned the biggest food product factory in south east asia. His business chains even spread out to middle east and other countries in the world. But when you Google his name, he never there only arrays of his company names but not his. But knowing that he might be one of the riches man in Asia, he is extremely humble. I remembered he talked and laughed with the bartender and waiters for hours. He always smiled and greeted employees very politely, not to mention the amount of tips he spoiled for us 😁. Indeed, the real rich people do have character.
Story Daniels Depends on how you define rich. Material wealth increases your number of options. But there are other kinds of wealth that are non-material.
@@Beautyinwverything Disagree, this is a great mentality that most people don't have the character or self-understanding to have. Your desire for more is a byproduct of the society around you constantly brainwashing you into thinking you need more. The elite at the top are the ones who control your life.
@Eddie Morra And if it’s exclusively material wealth to which you refer, then you might be surprised how poverty stricken the materially wealthy can be. As a case in point, I just read about squabbles between billionaire neighbours. I sure wouldn’t want to live anywhere near them. Nasty people. As Jesus put it, and I paraphrase, what good does it do you to gain the world but forfeit your soul?
Most wealthy people I know drive Honda’s and Toyota’s. My dads friend owns a lot of of apartments in the Seattle area! Dude drive a 2002 Honda Accord. I think it’s cool how he has a lot of money but acts like he’s broke. Hands down if a family emergency happens he has the funds to cover it.
He is not purposely acting broke. He is wealthy because he uses every dollar he can to reinvest to make more money. Rich people use money to make money. Rich people buy time from other people. Rich people pay people to make money for them. Poor people sell their time. Time is the most valuable asset.
The movie about a musician waking up into a world where no one new the Beatles After kate mckinnon packages him to fame, his rendition of help is a scream
One time - at a wedding party a financial advisor pull me aside and started to pitch his company and how they could manage my family’s wealth - I was confused - until he said - that he can tell by the way I engaged with people and by my suit (which was tailored) - that I was wealthy - and also since the bride, a friend of mine was wealthy- he came to that conclusion. So Alux you nail this one on the head.
From my experience rich people, just like anybody else come in all shapes and forms. It largely depends on where do they come from (culture & country), if they're old or new money, and simply their personality! Some just like to flash money, while others don't. I see younger generations who made money more like that, than older folks. In some countries, it's a norm to be flashy, and if you're not you don't fit in. In others, it's a norm to be low key. One thing that's very common among all the wealthy people that I know is that they all travel a lot. Some will stay at expensive 5-star hotels, while others opt-in for more affordable accommodation. Plenty of travel is a common denominator of the rich crowd, even though there are more and more middle-class people who are well-traveled. There is simply no way you can generalize rich people, most of these things are stereotypical and many rich folks wouldn't follow those signs.The only way you can tell if someone is rich is if you look at their bank account and assets they own.
Totally agree with that. It's like you adopt to where you are. The feeling you are in an airport and realized that it's time to do the simple adjustment of how you use your clothes.....
My friend got married to an IT guy. His best friend had dropped out of college (they were majoring in Comp Sci) and started his own tech start up. A few years later he sold his start up to Microsoft. At the time, Google wasn’t around so I didn’t realize for how much. So one day she invited us to dinner at their friend’s “new place”. It was the entire building in downtown Manhattan. The guy who sold his tech co bought a whole building with his newfound wealth. This was in the late 90’s. Fast forward to last year. He sold the building at an incredible profit. Funny thing is, you would *never* know he was wealthy. He loves old tee shirts and ripped jeans. Super down to earth and his kids attended public school. Nicest wife I ever met and he never ever bragged.
When I was a teen, I babysat for people who picked me up in a Rolls. I've met people who had real French Impressionist paintings on their walls. Old money expects their family to have impeccable manners. New money shows off and loses their money. Tina
that's a double whammy 1) no complaining because moral character. no one likes complainers and moreover complainers are generally failures and 2) no complaining about money because i have as much of it as i want whenever i want.
I'm not yet rich but now that I am more sensible with my money I don't complain about money anymore, either. It's weird to listen to others complain now. I just hum at them politely.
Your worth as a person goes beyond your social class and financial status. You are capable of achieving great things regardless of where you come from or how much money you have.
When I was 16, i spent the summer on a teen camp tour of Israel. There were about 100 teens on this tour and one in particular was very low key and quite. He wasn’t flashy or loud in any way. Once we got back home, I found out by chance that he was part of a billionaire family who is now married to the presidents daughter.
As a middle-class guy who works as self-employed since I was a 14yo kid, I found out that a friend was actually rich with sign number 15 in this list. He was trying to do his own thing from scratch, but in reality his mom was rich. He was asking me for entrepreneurship and self-employed career advice because I'm a Business Mgmt professional and small business owner. He was wondering what would he do if at any moment he became orphan before being 21yo. How would he take care of the family business or start a new one? He didn't know much about working and negotiating, but during our friendship, we tried different types of work until he found out what he was passionate about.

The family crest embroidered on their belongings??? What does that have to do with anything?
One of the ways you can tell is if they do something a lot that doesn't appear to make any money but costs a lot. For example - the Mike Stern Trio are a great band but it's not music or a show that used to sell a whole lot of tickets. Turns out that Mike's father is a billionaire, which is likely how he can afford to do it. Mike's guitar playing is great but not highly commercial. Another good example is Julia-Louis Dreyfus - who had quite a tenuous hold in the comedy world for about a decade before she cracked the big time with Seinfeld in about 1992. Most people couldn't afford a decade of that - her father is also a billionaire. Likewise, Kevin Bacon is married to actress Kyra Sedgwick (half sister of Mike Stern, sharing the same billionaire father) and we all know that Kevin actually wasn't in a whole lot of films and rarely plays the lead role. Most actors can't sustain a 40 year career doing that.
This isn't criticism - most people with access to their money don't contribute as much as they do to the world. It's just simple and unignorable facts - touring the world in a poorly selling band multiple times, playing bit comedy parts for a decade and being a highly-selective supporting actor for 40 years are not forms of work that will pay the bills over that time, if someone isn't financed from some other source.
Some of these are definitely true. Started working a new job recently and my boss was someone you could tell was extremely wealthy. Good quality shoes and bags, nice watches, nice fitting, good quality clothes, but no brand names on anything. She was well groomed, spoke politely and intelligently, and was kind to everyone. I remember when she treated all the staff members to lunch at a high end hotel, she didn't even look at the bill, just called the waiter and quietly passed her card over. Found out later that she and her husband owned the school I was working at, the hotel we ate in, the amusement park beside it, the golf course, and basically developed half of the area I lived in. Co-worker told me once, "everything you can see outside this window were built by them". I find that people who are truly rich are comfortable in their own skin, they have no need to show off or to prove that they are rich. It is the fake poor that flaunt brand names and get defensive and self-conscious when they 'think' you look down on them. Wealthy people also treat people well, because they know that the people around them are important assets.
It's not poor people who feel they need to show off pretending to be rich , it's INSECURE people who show off
I’m the CEO of my businesses and I often come to my organisations where my staff wear LV, Armani, custom Saville Row suits, one even drives a Ferrari etc whilst I drive a fk’d up Honda whilst wearing an oily Ford Mustang shirt and my old work pants, which was for Domino’s. I often shout out “That’s what she said!” and just get away with it. I wear and do whatever is comfortable for myself whilst everyone is just a square and makes money for me. Smart.

What's the difference between money and wealth in this comparison?
Illosovic Stayne
Money in this context refers to “new money,” I.e. people wanting to be flashy and show off they have money and wealth in this context refers to those that have assets, solid cash flow that do not need to flaunt their wealth
As soon as I heard it I posted it! Lol I like to enlighten my friends
Imagine a wealthy man whispers to your ear saying he’s rich while in the elevator.
Me too!
I'm an insurance agent/ account manager to the wealthy and much of this is very true. One huge thing I notice about old money is that the people of old money are VERY nice and down to earth.
You are a fool to be mean to someone who manages your money. A fool and his money are soon parted. That's why people who have had money for a long time are always, always nice to their insurance account managers, financial advisors, etc.

@@IndyAvocadoKid It's all too to treat low-rung employees like trash because real wages for these workers has dwindled over time. The minimum wage is no longer a living wage. In stark contrast to the 1% who have taken off like a rocket. In every sense the highly successful are walking ALL OVER the poor. Often, lower and middle management are the messengers who in-your-face act like it.
Andrew Tate is old money, right?
After you reach a certain income, you start to realize the money really isn't the most valuable thing in life. It's TIME. Time is worth much much more than millions. Retiring early and enjoying life while I'm healthy. It's the only item on my bucket list.

I knew a super-rich guy when I was in my early 20s. He drove an old beat-up car, dressed like everyone else, rarely had money to do things the rest of us couldn't afford to do. We were good friends for a year before I was invited to his home. He made sure his friends were REAL friends before he allowed them to know that his family was extremely wealthy. Now I see people that appear to be like the rest of us and wonder how many of them are secretly ultra wealthy.
Loyalty and trust or should long lasting relationship is hard to come by these days...
My Dad drove a 1977 VW Kombi up until 2010. His father retired at 45. Dad at 55. Both flew on Concorde. His father had a 20 year old Camry. It was Land, Land & more Land that made them financially successful.
@@lukespector5550 The rich want servants or slaves who they can pay below minimum wage and if they can get away with it want things for free because they're little gods who must be worshiped. Stingy with tips and paychecks and very smug since others are below them. A survey should be taken of those who have to deal with them to see that those who are considered poor or middle class are more humble, generous and kind and look out for their workers.

Amusing how many people feel offended by your comment and now have to reveal how they are actually “wealthy” and still watch this video. Well, two things: Firstly, good for you if you’re not just talking BS. Secondly, in any case those comments qualify you as both nouveau riche and lower class - because no sophisticated and civilized gentlemen (or woman) would ever respond in such a lower class manner. And lastly - for all those simpletons out there - no, having a lot of money does not make you upper class at all. In fact, upper class has nothing to do with money whatsoever.

“What’s one time you found out someone is really rich?”
I was in College. Jokingly said to my friend, “Nice bag! Can you give it to me?” 😁 then she tossed all the things inside her bag in a plastic bag and gave the bag to me. It was a louis vuitton bag which was worth $2000. She was always wearing plain clothes (but looks so comfy and with high quality) and a subtle accessories or a bag that ordinary college student can’t afford. I always know she was rich but i didnt expect her to be that crazy rich!!! We’re still friends and I think I learnt a lot from her! ❤️
“Time is A Luxury.” That is a quote I agree with.
I disagree somewhat with #4. Most real rich are cost conscious. Every dollar matters. They are careful where their money goes or how it's used.
I was thinking the exact same thing.. To say that as a blanket point is simply false. Completely and entirely ignoring every price tag no matter what? That's just idiotic. Having a price in mind of what you believe something is worth paying is what a truly wealthy individual does, trust me.. I seldom comment, but this was worth taking the moment to do so.
@@SGVirtusAuthor Maybe those born with a "silver spoon" are generally not cost-conscious. But the self-made ones would definitely mind how their resources are used. From time to time they would splurge, but not frequently.
@@fpvillegas9084 Couldn't have said it better myself.
@@SGVirtusAuthor Thanks 👍
There’s a difference between being conscious of how or what you’re spending on and looking at prices. And keep in mind, this vid is talking about the super rich for the most part. Not the the people who are comfortable after working hard for 40 years. I believe you’re confusing wealthy with rich. A better example of this is when someone travels, will they pay $20,000 for a first class flight or rent a $20k-$30k a night hotel? It’s not a question of “should I spend this money?” As much as it is “the $20,000 a night hotel is such a non-issue. My comfort is important... meh, just get it”.
True true story from a friend. Many yrs ago a janitor at my friend’s workplace all of a sudden announced he was retiring. This was it. Everyone learned that he had been silently in the stock mkt for a few decades and had done very very well. Needless to say it was a TOTAL shocker. Never judge a book by its cover.
I read about him
Excellent! He did the right thing!
I found out my old neighbor was a millions after being friends with her for 2 yrs. She’s frugal on a daily basis but always purchases good food regarding of the cost and always gets the best seat in the house at Broadway shows. Last big expense for her was a 60k surgery for her dog. She was so grateful that she was able to get the best care for her dog.
i remember my friend who is a socialite and works in a luxury fashion magazine. you wouldnt know she is from an old rich family because you can see her attend to models and photographers, carrying their luggage, serving lunch to staffs, etc.
My wife used to have a client, that turned out to be part of one of Indonesia wealthiest families. We’re talking Forbes list. And very humble and easy going people.
I was raised poor/middle class. In my 30’s I began investing in real estate and quickly gained financial success. Although my finances have changed I don’t wear name brand clothes or jewelry as a result people typically have no idea.

I am now 62 years old, my grandfather held the title of both Viscount and Baron,I did not grow up thinking MONEY had anything to do with "wealth" I grew up knowing that an inherited title comes with great responsibility - it's one thing to posture and call attention to yourself it's a different matter to be grateful and realise your situation is a privilege not a right and that a person's merit lies in the kind of person you are and not in what you have materially.
I've worked as a private nurse for several billionaires and a lot of these are true. NOT ALL of them apply, but the super wealthy, especially the old rich, are usually very low profile.

One time, a customer at my work came in wearing a hooded top and plain jeans. She didnt really give off anything noticeable at all that she was rich, and i only figured out she possibly was when i asked her (like with any customer btw) if she would like to add a tip on her card for the baristas. She said "yeah give them $20". And i realized how solid metal black her card was then lol i joked with her "wow 20 thank you so much, are you like secretly wealthy? XD" and she gave me this very stern yet open expression and said "yeah actually", and walked off. She was so cool about it. Wealthy people can honestly walk amongst us looking like average or below average folks. She was an example i couldnt forget lol

Years ago, my Dad felt sorry for this old guy sitting at a bar and bought him a drink. This was in a very small town with lots of farmers around. Who never were in the bar that time of day (they were working on the farms). This guy was in ancient overalls, raggy shirt, beat up shoes, torn straw hat, and drove a very beat up old pickup truck (paint job essentially down to the primer). After the guy left, one of the other men told my Dad who he was - the wealthiest guy around for miles. He was a multi-millionaire. He really did NOT care about appearances!
There is nothing admirable about a bum with money. Remove the money and you still have a bum. A wealthy person with class who has their money removed still has class.
A wealthy person gives to charity if they feel people are most important.
@@luxebeauty5706 it's not because the guy doesn't value showing off fancy clothes and shiny cars that he's a bum. "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
@@wotanmituns33 Ask people in third world countries how sophisticated they feel; it doesn't get simpler than that.
@@truthserum5855 I'm Brazilian and feel just fine.
I worked at a resort. You could tell which ones were old money and ones with new money. The old money would be polite and greet you. While the new money would snub you. It was hard because I'm a people person and love meeting new people.
My first experience was with a family that her husband was on the cover of Forbes they lived so modestly that I thought it was a souvenir that they had made, it was encased and on a special shelf. She allowed me open it and read his story to see that it was true! The article was about the business he created years ago and he was still running at the time I was working with them. I learned so much from them both. They really took me in and grew me!
Sounds like they used you as their little "bed-warmer."
@@uncleanis45 sounds like your jealous of the original poster
Love it. Those covers are in dens and bought as a novelty souvenir so friends can say “Dan, wealthiest man in Minnesota, did Tammy buy that for you?”
Only this time, it was real
In my country i used to work in the wealthiest part of the city and i noticed that rich people (recognizable by their cars) are always polite on the road: they would let u cross calmly, seldom horn etc. I always wondered if they're not in a hurry cos they already have money or if they don't want to fight on the road so they dont damage their cars, or if being calm and collected when driving is a trait that actually comes with wealth.
Anyway, i decided to act like them when on the road 😂
It's more because they have less stress in their life. They also want to treat other people well because after you remove money out of the equation, it's all about how people treat you.
Its so true what you say about the rich...I think they have peacefull minds...
i noticed this, too. I went to two different Walmarts in the same day: one in a rich neighborhood and one in a poor neighborhood. The driving manners were night and day different. I think it's because rich people, in general, know that if you are considerate of other people than other people will treat you accordingly.
It is because those of us who are wealthy know how this universe works. We know that a high vibration attracts that which we desire. It will attract similar feeling events, people and circumstances that make us feel that positively again. Honking and having road rage is a very low vibration, which will attract similar feeling events, people and circumstances that make us feel negatively again.
There is no picture of the richest man in Germany nothing Nobody knows how he looks, that is privacy
Viktor Royal Aldi owners. Kidnapped in the 70’s, decided to hide from public forever. Best decision
maferdash Maria the owner of Lidl is the richest german person, but i agree with you
He/she is so hidden that none of you can agree on who it is.
@ why don't you change your living area?) It's better to live in the area where people are close to your standards (both material and mental).
@ is she the same with gigolo scandal??
I find myself having a lot of these traits (and I am not wealthy). I think most of them have to do more with class than money (even though they walk hand in hand). Charisma, taste, class, and a brand. I guess this thinking and way of life is part of my growth mindset.
Being wealthy gives you life lessons. People want to take advantage of you, people also want you to work for them for free being their doctor, their lawyer, their handyman, everyfuckingthing, this is fine if it's just one friend but when it becomes an every growing amount of people, you realise that they're all exploiting you and holding the gossip of "money has changed him" as a way to keep you in line. So it's a natural defense mechanism to present yourself in a way that's ambiguous to your income, fill your time with excuses and only provide your friendship and loyality to those who deserve it. Any person can exhibit all the positive traits you mention if they're independent, respect people time and privacy and has a little taste.

A classmate in my statistics class at uni always had on really worn out clothes and was always smiling. He turned out to actually own a personal plane. Wealthy family!
Well I learned from a young age that the world of the wealthy is split into 3. *Old money* ( transgenerational wealth), *New money* ( recently made wealthy typically self made and flashy) and *Quiet money* ( can be old or new money, but you wouldn't know they are wealthy since they don't flash, are humble, typically self made, financially conservative and blend in well especially into high middle class neighborhoods and lifestyle). I met them all, quiet money are the most interesting and better to get along with since they are not entitled and aware of the world, typically very worldly and intellectual.
diamondheart11 I agree! Quiet money is the most intense by far
If i claim myself to be 'quiet money'...does that translate me being 'new money' as well?

“A fool and his gold are soon parted.” People may and will overcharge you if they think you’re rich. Companies will charge more for services and products in more affluent towns, despite offering the same service or products for cheaper in lesser. If you fall for this scam repeatedly, you won’t stay rich long. If you act like “I don’t care what it costs,” well, then you won’t mind getting robbed blind. Check the price, and if you don’t agree with it, walk away.

The one time I let a complete stranger take a call on my phone, I had the best experience of my life. It taught me to behave as if I was wealthy at all times, even though I am poor as a church mouse. It is a mental setting, I never will abandon.
When i came to university i had a bit of a drinking problem, but it meant i met a lot of people. One person in particular i would drink with almost daily (but he would never get out of control). When i landed myself a decent paying job and was making more than most of my friends i would be a bit of a show off and splash my money around. With said friend, we would go out to restaurants every week and eventually he took me to dinner in a significantly more expensive place and i asked him how he could afford it. I found out his Dad was pretty high up in apple and had plenty of money. He told me 'he didn't want everyone to know though because he is more than just his money'. That tought me a huge lesson in being humble and respectable
These are true. People may judge a person making minimum wage at a wine shop but really that person is just working for fun.
Haha. Yes! Hm, do you know of someone rich? That was very perceptive.
People who poorly judge people actually working at any wage in a capitalist economy are what I call a champagne socialist. Billionaire capitalists truly appreciate any person working for money.
tell that to the financially ignorant common folk in dfw, texas. I have to waste time explaining that an $8M net worth janitor can provide more finances than most doctors

Being wealthy is also a state of mind not just financial
Time and choice. The time and ability to choose what you want to do means your wealthy.
This is a great point. Lots of “wealth consciousness” types talk about inner wealth of peace, good cheer, health, confidence erc.

The really wealthy ones in NYC don’t even go out to restaurants. They have their own private chefs living in their townhouses. Thus you hardly see them in public

They go to events and they do eat out if it’s a grand opening of their favorite chef or restauranteur
Trust me. They DO go out. Rich people tend to be social. Parties. Friends. Travel etc. Not many are socially shy
I used to work as a butler for an establishment. That's when I met a guest who had come from such humble means but his persiverence and love for what he does has made him the richest person of New Zealand. I got some very good valuable lessons from that gentleman.

Social grace is a sign of good upbringing, which can imply old money.
My Mom is like this, she is quiet about her huge wealth. To look at her you would never know, she shuns brands like Prada or Chanel. She has lots of luxury brands but prefers to carry small practical purses and wallets and wear casual comfortable clothes. She's not a miser either, she enjoys entertaining her friends at home with big dinner parties and travels a lot. Her life inspires me.

“Fortify yourself with moderation.” The goal is to be wealthy and pass it down not to look wealthy. Rich and wealthy are not the same thing; not even close.
I wholeheartedly agree. Greed, ostentatious behavior and lavish spending are poisonous qualities. There's nothing wrong with wanting and striving for more. One shouldn't have an inflated ego and be arrogant though. Discipline and self control are key.
I will try to remember this.
Wow
My Uncle use to smell really bad every day and family members would laugh at him. He would always talk to me and take me to lunch. One day I asked him why and he said one day he wants to build my house and he wants me to pay full price without negotiating. That day did come true. Thanks Alux!
There are values that are attached to wealth that stay even if wealth is lost. I have found this to be true over time. During my career in Academia, I met an elderly gentleman who was the Director of our university library. He was a quiet and very knowledgeable man of impeccable manners, who was a pleasure to work with. Many years later, I learned he was an exiled Hungarian Count who had helped many jews escape from the Nazis during WWII. Likewise, I had an old friend and classmate who was always very low key and down to earth. Many years after meeting her I found out she was a granddaughter of the Cuban founder of Partagas cigars, a family of enormous wealth who lost it all through the Castrist revolution. In both cases, I learned their backgrounds by chance because neither ever discussed nor flaunted it. In my opinion, that is true class.
@ravensonng If he was a Count then his demeanour is from hundreds of years of upbringing. I would imagine his offspring have already made back the fortune that was stolen from him.
I can relate to this actually. Somebody I know has one side of the family was heavily involved with politics and governance in South Vietnam before the War. During the Vietnam War, his entire family lost all their wealth when the communists took over the region. However, they slowly regained back their wealth and because of the networking and reputation that his great-grandfather and grandfather had during those days. He would have what I would call a "rich person" mindset and the assistance from the network.
Once the money goes and what’s left is their lovely manners.
My mum had lovely manners because she came from the city fathers class in the Netherlands.
@@LisaMaryificationAristocratic titles are more about accomplishments not money....they often don't have capitalist type values.

Buying buildings or land with cash means mafia or drug dealers. Rich people do keep their money in banks. Just, different banks. Eg, in the UK, C. Hoare & Co.
I found out my friend was wealthy when she mentioned she was having a Christmas dinner party for over 20 people the next evening. I couldn’t believe she was so calm because I would have been frantic planning/preparing/shopping/cooking etc but she was totally relaxed about the whole thing. Then casually mentioned she was having the dinner party catered with a private chef and wait staff. And I just thought how cool (and efficient) that was.
🤣
Poor people can do that too. Just save money every year and hire chef to cook for you for christmas night its not that expensive 😂😂😂
“Have good teeth”
*laughs in British aristocracy*
Yeah, it might not all be spot on. Besides, middleclass to higher middleclass will do many of these things as well.
When I was in prep school in the 1970's a classmate was driving a 12 year old rattle trap of a car. I later found out that his dad's net worth was greater than 220 Milion. Keep in mind that this was in the 1970's.
My friend I've known since Jr High school in the 70's found out his Dad was a Billionaire after he passed. His Dad was Cool back in the day. His brother worked with him doing Real Estate. He also owned Business around the world, he owned Stocks, bought Oil, Gold, etc. He was low key and valued his privacy. He loved going 2 Vegas his favorite was Sports betting.

I married VERY rich and had a crash course in social media and a few other things. Fastest lesson was get rid of all your social media. No one needs to know
My Mom is an private health aide to a lady whose husband was a millionaire. He left her a trust for after his passing. His wealth transfers to his grandson. In their family it is tradition to pass the wealth by skipping a generation. So his son received wealth from the grandfather. Their home is nice, but modest compared to what I'd imagine a millionaire living in. It is also in a remote part of a beautiful state. The lady is very kind and even attended my brother's wedding. She sees her aides as her family in a way. She attended Vassar as a young woman and had servants in her home growing up. She was a southern belle. I've met her and her husband. Their clothes were simple but good quality, as is their home. Wealth truly whispers. Wealth is refined.

I think that really depends how people came into their wealth. People who have hustled hard know what it's like to start from the bottom, often times having worked those same service jobs, so they have a level of empathy that often gets lost on those who are born into wealth. Of course there are always exceptions, but, at least with the people I've known who have come from modest means and have moved into the upper or upper middle classes, are all very empathetic to the struggles of service industry workers. It seems like the people who are pretending to be wealthy (e.g. they get a Platinum card to flash at restaurants, but leave a 5% tip) are the douchiest people on the planet. They seem to be worse than the people who are born into wealth because they know they're riding so far along the edge of financial stability that the stress of maintaining the charade piles up and they act like dicks to everyone else because of their own insecurities.
I have noticed an easy way to tell if a wealthy person is self made or was gifted wealth … the self made or ones who had to grind and earn their wealth love telling you very useful information and want you to have wealth and usually tip and appreciate services, the ones who were given their wealth seem to almost always want to tell you about their materials and cost and don’t want anyone else to have money.
Most homeless look alike people in SF turn out to be tech millionaires and most well groomed are the lawyers working for them.
I’ve been in the room with many rich people. Some billionaires even. The richest always look like they have nothing. Seriously they look like a normal person. Sometimes an expensive watch on their wrist gives it away but that’s super subtle...
I doubt that. If you look at what you're saying think about extremely rich celebrities. They do not dress poorly. Very wealthy corporate types also dress well. Bespoke clothing etc. Rolex or Piaget watch. How many rich circles do you mix in? If none. Then you know nothing.
Julie Randall you sound misinformed. Super wealthy people do not need to come off as wealthy, their work and business speaks for itself. As for middle class trying to be rich, they dress and fit a stereotype of rich because that is exactly the image they are trying to provide.
@@LilSexyGAMER Are you American by any chance? Only I am English and we tend to do things differently over here. The super rich here don't go around looking like scruffy Zucker for example. I actually know billionaires on the London circuit and not one of them turns up to a society party dressed in a t-shirt and jeans!! That's just rude. Everybody there is well dressed in bespoke designer clothing out of respect for the host. That is how London Society conducts itself. We are an old world country so we tend not to change too much sometimes. I know billionaires who have their own helicopters or have second homes in the most expensive streets of Paris. I don't just sit in a room with random rich people, I actually know them. You should not presume others knowledge based upon your own. Very dangerous. Different countries adopt different ways. America is a new country and doesn't have the same class system for a start. If a party goer were to turn up in dressed down scruffy attire they would not be welcomed. For example I was at a party in London on the Thames at a penthouse apartment worth over £10M. And that was just ONE of their homes. I think I know what I'm talking about.
I didn’t know my family had money until I went to university and met friends from different backgrounds. Up until then, my upbringing was very protected through private schools, friends from the same background, always traveling as a family. I assumed everyone had two nannies growing up. I assumed most people had gardeners, housekeepers, a cook, a majordomo, etc. it was a huge wake-up call.
I had a similar experience when i went to off to college.
I'm so happy you were able to realise that not all rich people have nannies or housekeepers or maids or someone to put on and then pull of their shoes.I found out as well and I now put on the shoes I've bought at the outlet shops.
A friend of mine had a similar upbringing. She also thought every kid had a nanny and personal driver until I asked her if her nanny's kids had a nanny and if her driver had a driver. You said you were very protected but you were actually in daily contact with people who obvious don't have the same privilege as you.
Bart Watts i grew up in a blue collar working class neighborhood. My parents were never in debt with credit cards and such as they were frugal and knew the value of a dollar even though they were not rich. No nannies, no private schools, no exotic vacations just simple living. I now have that same frugal mentality I saw in them growing up, no credit card debt, no car debt but with money to invest.

A few years ago I was employed by one of the richest and most influential families on the west coast. I haven't met the wife yet, so one day this pretty woman walked into the room and after greeting us, just kept going. That's when I was informed that she was the matriarch. She was wearing coveralls and a checkered shirt and carrying cleaning supplies. She had no makeup on and her hair was in a neat ponytail. I assumed she was the cleaning lady..LOL. She also turned out to be a former supermodel and yet very sweet, down to earth nice.
I also have a childhood friend who is a self made super rich, yet he grows veggies in the front yard of his mansion. His neighbors are very annoyed, but are too afraid of him to do anything about it, since they know he's the only one in that neighborhood who purchased that mansion with cash.

But knowing that he might be one of the riches man in Asia, he is extremely humble. I remembered he talked and laughed with the bartender and waiters for hours. He always smiled and greeted employees very politely, not to mention the amount of tips he spoiled for us 😁. Indeed, the real rich people do have character.

@@Beautyinwverything Disagree, this is a great mentality that most people don't have the character or self-understanding to have. Your desire for more is a byproduct of the society around you constantly brainwashing you into thinking you need more. The elite at the top are the ones who control your life.
@Eddie Morra And if it’s exclusively material wealth to which you refer, then you might be surprised how poverty stricken the materially wealthy can be. As a case in point, I just read about squabbles between billionaire neighbours. I sure wouldn’t want to live anywhere near them. Nasty people. As Jesus put it, and I paraphrase, what good does it do you to gain the world but forfeit your soul?
Most wealthy people I know drive Honda’s and Toyota’s. My dads friend owns a lot of of apartments in the Seattle area! Dude drive a 2002 Honda Accord. I think it’s cool how he has a lot of money but acts like he’s broke. Hands down if a family emergency happens he has the funds to cover it.
He is not purposely acting broke. He is wealthy because he uses every dollar he can to reinvest to make more money. Rich people use money to make money. Rich people buy time from other people. Rich people pay people to make money for them. Poor people sell their time. Time is the most valuable asset.
Staying wealthy, or rich means retaining it.
Truth about the Hondas and Toyotas!

sike not true depends on the person.. same goes with having a job just think about it
Time is a luxury because once given you can never get it back.
To give your time to another is priceless
One time - at a wedding party a financial advisor pull me aside and started to pitch his company and how they could manage my family’s wealth - I was confused - until he said - that he can tell by the way I engaged with people and by my suit (which was tailored) - that I was wealthy - and also since the bride, a friend of mine was wealthy- he came to that conclusion. So Alux you nail this one on the head.
Except that you cannot spell...a suit you wear, a suite is furniture

My uncle has 23 million in the bank. He wears overalls every day and drives a 1976 pick up truck.
Your uncle is a boss.
What's the point to have all that money if it's just sitting in the bank?
sandy 1 .... that’s called “F you” money.
He is an old-school farmer that sold most of his land. I really don’t think he knows what to do with it to be honest with you.

From my experience rich people, just like anybody else come in all shapes and forms. It largely depends on where do they come from (culture & country), if they're old or new money, and simply their personality! Some just like to flash money, while others don't. I see younger generations who made money more like that, than older folks. In some countries, it's a norm to be flashy, and if you're not you don't fit in. In others, it's a norm to be low key. One thing that's very common among all the wealthy people that I know is that they all travel a lot. Some will stay at expensive 5-star hotels, while others opt-in for more affordable accommodation. Plenty of travel is a common denominator of the rich crowd, even though there are more and more middle-class people who are well-traveled.
There is simply no way you can generalize rich people, most of these things are stereotypical and many rich folks wouldn't follow those signs.The only way you can tell if someone is rich is if you look at their bank account and assets they own.
Totally agree with that. It's like you adopt to where you are. The feeling you are in an airport and realized that it's time to do the simple adjustment of how you use your clothes.....
My friend got married to an IT guy. His best friend had dropped out of college (they were majoring in Comp Sci) and started his own tech start up. A few years later he sold his start up to Microsoft. At the time, Google wasn’t around so I didn’t realize for how much. So one day she invited us to dinner at their friend’s “new place”. It was the entire building in downtown Manhattan. The guy who sold his tech co bought a whole building with his newfound wealth. This was in the late 90’s. Fast forward to last year. He sold the building at an incredible profit. Funny thing is, you would *never* know he was wealthy. He loves old tee shirts and ripped jeans. Super down to earth and his kids attended public school. Nicest wife I ever met and he never ever bragged.
When I was a teen, I babysat for people who picked me up in a Rolls. I've met people who had real French Impressionist paintings on their walls. Old money
expects their family to have impeccable manners. New money shows off and loses their money. Tina
Love your hustle, keep it up!
New money (IE, first wealthy generation in a family) doesn't always lose their $$. My parents didn't.

15 Non-Obvious Signs Someone is Wealthy:
9) They don't complain about money
that's a double whammy 1) no complaining because moral character. no one likes complainers and moreover complainers are generally failures and 2) no complaining about money because i have as much of it as i want whenever i want.
You think so, the satisfaction can be had at any level. Dont you think if someone is not satisfied they can complain about more then we comprehend.
I'm not yet rich but now that I am more sensible with my money I don't complain about money anymore, either. It's weird to listen to others complain now. I just hum at them politely.
A older lady once told me " You look like you got money" I guess it's in the way a person carries themselves, even though I'm not rich.
That makes no sense. What is your point?
It's likely how you carried yourself, or her perception of "someone that had money"

@Jonathan Man lmao 😂 ... you’re so mean
Your worth as a person goes beyond your social class and financial status. You are capable of achieving great things regardless of where you come from or how much money you have.
When I was 16, i spent the summer on a teen camp tour of Israel. There were about 100 teens on this tour and one in particular was very low key and quite. He wasn’t flashy or loud in any way. Once we got back home, I found out by chance that he was part of a billionaire family who is now married to the presidents daughter.
Jared Kushner?
@@motojc My thought too.
I used to live in Miami. When we were at the marina we would say look for the guys who have holes in their tee shirts because they are the rich guys.
As a middle-class guy who works as self-employed since I was a 14yo kid, I found out that a friend was actually rich with sign number 15 in this list. He was trying to do his own thing from scratch, but in reality his mom was rich. He was asking me for entrepreneurship and self-employed career advice because I'm a Business Mgmt professional and small business owner. He was wondering what would he do if at any moment he became orphan before being 21yo. How would he take care of the family business or start a new one? He didn't know much about working and negotiating, but during our friendship, we tried different types of work until he found out what he was passionate about.
