The family crest embroidered on their belongings??? What does that have to do with anything?

[@ReturnOfTheJ.D.]

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.

@@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.

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."

[@anothersujufan]

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.

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.

[@prittyugly86]

My grandpa.... he was a superintendent of all the schools in Southern California. I knew his job was very important and I've always had a ton of reverence, but I didn't understand the wealth until I started hearing about financial advisors, trusts, and estate... but I always grew up thinking they were not rich at all because they harped on frugality and the future is uncertain. I was passed my grandmothers engagement ring recently and it was the only piece of fine jewelry she had. He is 94 years old, just survived covid, and we all hope he makes it to 100. Time is a luxury!

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.

[@Kombaiyashii]

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.

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”.

[@Tidus902]

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.

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.

A friend of mine got a good deal on a big house in Marion Pennsylvania. Marion is in an area refereed to as "The Main Line" which got it's name from the main thoroughfare of the Pennsylvania Railroad heading west from Philadelphia back in the day. There has always been big wealth there since the railroad money first came in but is now mixed in with those who are just "faking it" shall we say. This friends house was really solid but had gotten run down and had a whole bunch of weird renovations over the years. I would help him work on fixing it up. Gutted a bunch of stuff and had a dumpster in the driveway pretty often. Some of the neighbors were really friendly and enthusiastic about the place being fixed up and would stop and chat about random things like wood carving or other hobbies. Others would leer at us while driving by in their BMWs or what have you and there was an occasional complaint about the construction debris etc. Turns out the friendly ones all had ridiculously huge estates and so much wealth they couldn't burn it if they wanted to and the haughty ones with their noses up were mortgaged up to their ears.

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.

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.

I did residential cleaning of large mansions, so the person's wealth didn't surprise me. Many of them like to go on vacations and bring back unique objects. For example one family had African animal parts fashioned into furniture. For example, an elephant's foot was made into a coffee table. They also had a lot of antique ivory carvings. Many of them will get an impractical liberal arts degree in anthropology or archaeology. So they'll have photographs of themselves at a tribal dance or they'll be holding up a piece of pottery from Mesopotamia. Some will have trophies in horsemanship or for sailing a windjammer in a race. Once in awhile you'll see a photo of the family hanging out with Henry Kissinger or some such. Every Christmas they'll give each other gifts in the form of charitable contributions to the other person's favorite cause. Some of the worst disappointments are not being invited a prominent social event. Society women will throw tantrums over such rejections. They'll also get upset if some luxury enterprise freezes them out of some one of a kind piece of merchandise such as not being invited for an auction for Fabregé eggs or being frozen out of the purchase of a one of a kind dress or accessory.

He called later and said I could pick them up at his home which turned out to be an old mansion. He later introduced me to my 2nd wife who was an heir to the Stokley-Van Camp vegetable dynasty.

Very strange to me because I grew up in Memphis in the 70's, you understand. That particularly month was a very bad month and I told him I didn't have the money in the bank to cover the check but I was expecting a few checks that day from some of my clients. So, he wrote an address on a piece of paper and said "just bring the check to this address later." So, I did get checks from my clients, made the deposits in my bank and wrote out a check and delivered to the building manager. Wow! I just pulled up in a place that literally looked like the Beverly Hillbilly's California Mansion. It had the dual stair case after walking through the double mahogany doors and window pane glass to the ceiling with the swimming pool on the outside by the manicured lawn.

@John Fisher 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).

Many of my real estate clients may show up looking like a bum with an older car, But purchased a buildings, or land with cash.

[@Manas_Kale]

Wdym??

[@alexcoop522]

Yep I unfortunately can't dive into real estate but I do own a lot of reits

[@stalinsmum6475]

that is literally my father. He drives a golf, wears brands no one heard for and owns 3 companies a lot of land and is in real estate…

[@storiestotell]

I know this is true ... I have them in my work place all the time. Real estate tells the story

[@_Mentat]

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.

[@zeusinho1986]

The spending money to save time I totally agree on. We travel business class so my baby daughter can have space to sleep in, move through the airport quickly and get on board. All my money is for the next generations

The only place to go shopping without looking at the price is 99 cents store.

[@edwardcurtis2716]

Thats funny.

[@maretvilla1531]

Exactly

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.

[@whatsupbudbud]

Hahaha, annoyed pompous neighbors, cracked me up.

[@syahirah3245]

Wait his neighbours are annoyed he grows veggies?

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. 😂🤣

I would add two things to that list: investing in art, and engaging in philanthropy

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.

[@edwardkim2511]

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.

Time is money. I was recently planning a trip and was deciding on which hotel to choose. I emailed a four star hotel and I emailed a five star hotel. The four star never got back to me but the five star got back to me within twenty-four hours. The latter showed respect for my time. The former caters to people who do not value time.
