They just seem generally unsupportive. I'm sorry about that. I think they're jealous/envious of your success. You weren't even bragging: just answering questions when asked. You definitely need a new set of friends and to be around people who will genuinely support you and your achievements.
Also, you don't need to prove anything to anyone. It still sounds like you're doing all of this for their approval. Live life for yourself because you'll find you'll be happier. I understand that you want loved ones to be happy for you and I honestly think you should tell them that you feel they don't support you. But if they're unwilling to do so, find those people who will in your life.

If your poor friends are jealous of your high income - make high income friends.
I don't know your background of course but I've seen this where people's expectations of those around them are low.
They think anyone who makes it big has got above their station in life and are resentful.
You're going to have to accept your family for what they are, and find appropriate friends to spend time with. I'm guessing you have no problem believing in yourself.
That's very sad, resentment from your own family. I can't think of much worse then that. They should have celebrated your success like it was their own. Some people are extremely bitter, be proud of yourself for your achievements and show your family how they are wrong by leading by example.
