What makes a person look rich?

[Anonymous]

How they look? Or behave? Suggestions?

[FictionalCharacter]

From the different states and neighborhoods I have moved to, as a child. My father was an electrician working in rich family houses in Colorado.

He wanted me or my siblings to tag along, to watch him work. Here’s what I noticed about rich people or families:

-They own Cadillacs or lincoln cars

-They have two assistances with them. The designer and main assistant.

-The wife handles the assistants while the husband is at work and the children are at camp or private sports.

-They own BIG dogs like German shepherds, Labradors, and mastiffs.

-The children wear California logos.

-you’ll see newspaper 📰 clippings and trophy 🏆s of their accomplishments on the walls.

-There’s always a mini bar for the husband.

-if you’re a worker/stranger and have something to say, you speak to the assistants or the wife.

-They own different house properties (mostly cabins on gateway trips).

-They surround themselves with sports people or are involved with sports/Olympics.
Now, I was a little kid like 11/12 years old. I would watch and analyze these people behavior. That I notice, they’re just like us. But surround themselves with activities and positive people. Like couches, sports, and entrepreneurs.

The point is, surround yourself with accomplishing people and get into activities. Like sports, gym, and traveling. Living a rich life. Not money. LIFE.

That depends on your definition of rich? Strictly speaking of money, then they way you dress and carry yourself. Confidence is a big part too. Its easy to spot someone trying to look rich by their attitude as opposed to someone who is. Most everyday rich people don't go flaunting their wealth around talking about driving they're Audi and their indoor swimming pools. Rather its smaller things that slip out in regular conversation that seem normal to them, but aren't to those less fortunate. Like, I made some delicious swordfish on the grill last week for my dinner party. Its typical non bragging conversation, but swordfish is expensive and most don't serve that at dinner parties unless they have money.

In our community the richest people are quite ordinary.
One looks like a overworked oil patch redneck, always in work boots, loose laces, work pants work shirt, plaid jacket, drives a muddy 4x4 and flies a 10-year-old plane and he owns a business worth $100 million.
A local real estate owner wears t shirts with a tiny alligator or ponies on them and drives a modest car and he's one of the richest men in town.
The owner of one of the local mills, a woman, whose family owned a chain of wood mills- she sold them for $350 or $550 million- drove a top-of-the-line Mercedes, convertible, green, was always flying to some country or other and lived in a nearby city. She was the only local person who looked rich. Her conversations were filled with travel experiences.
There are others, and all impress as rather ordinary. An accountant who could live anywhere in the world chooses here. I have no idea how much he's worth but it's certainly $10 or $20 million, but you'd never know except for his firm's beautiful office building.
But it's Canada. It could be the culture.

Sounds like the Silicon Valley.

10 years is not old for an airplane. There are much older airplanes still being flown.

[coffeewithcream]

@slatyb That's true.
A buddy has a '57 Cessna.

[BCA6010]

The richest guy I know strolls around town wearing a faded baseball cap, jeans, and a t-shirt. He's very polite and also full of energy despite being upwards of 75 years old. If it weren't for his extremely limited production supercar that he takes out on nice days, you would never guess that he was as well off as he is.

The thing is... Most wealthy men do not do anything differently than they would otherwise. They don't have anything to prove to anyone, so they're just going to enjoy life.

Mostly it's really how people carry themselves. Class is about knowing how to fit in, be respectful, and make others feel comfortable around you.

But clothing is key, not goona lie.
Buy classic pieces that are good quality and not fast fashion that shrinks, loses shape, and fades. Look up the term 'capsule wardrobe' and follow those rules.
I personally recommend trying to find natural materials, not synthetics - leather, suede, cotton, not polyester, etc., as much as possible. (Though these materials are much harder to come by nowadays. Their production cost is high.)

Also, your language and way of speaking. Those elevate people.
So many people are so concerned with personal comfort, and individual rights nowadays. Looking put together, and acting composed, basically like you give a shit - about yourself, the world, society - is what sets people apart.

[sheikalana]

You need to have a certain poise and finesse. Wear fancy clothes or if you can't afford anything fancy opt for good quality clothes with nice fabrics. A good purse and nice shoes. A good perfume, you need to smell good all the time. Minimum jewellery. A good pair of shades to wear every time you go outside. You need to have manners while you're eating too. I've noticed that people who come from rich families or for example if you look at the royal family they always try to look as natural as possible, simple makeup or barely any makeup however the hair is always impeccable, nails are usually short and natural nothing crazy like long ass acrylic nails and they usually opt for for the classic red, french manicure or neutral tones.

[CrystalSnowflakes]

Looking rich and being rich are quite different.
Most people that look rich just do that to avoid being seen as less fortunate. The main factors to looking rich are attire and confidence, attire doesn't always mean brand names. If someone looks like they're dressed well or have a great sense of fashion they automatically get a more opulent vibe. Acting confident in yourself will also make someone appear higher class, although being narcissistic isn't recommended in my book.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Opulent. Good SAT word lol.

[Warrior_Nun]

Rich people but certain over priced clothes of certain exclusive that identifies themselves to each other and the style changes each year. Yes its often how they look and behaved but often its a case of the emperor having no clothes, theh might look rich but really aren't

[slatyb]

It doesn't take a lot of money to look rich. My wife has a closet full of designer clothes and shoes she got at resale for about 10% of the price new. She has an $1800 Thom Browne sweater she got for $50. All kinds of designer shoes and dresses, Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Stewart Weitzman, BCBG, Vince, etc.

Behave? I can only tell you how classy people behave: courteously. Classy people with money are generous to waitstaff and others who provide a service, without demanding special treatment.

[NewZion]

A fleet of luxury cars, private security/jet, a mansion with "blue marble floors". Two Olympic sized swimming pools.

A fucking pile of hundred-dollar bills wrapped together that his God-children can just pick at without him getting butt-hurt about not having enough money.

But even with all that, he's still pretty chill.

No he is not my Godfather. But it'd be pretty nice to have him as one.

[Shampan]

For looks all you have to do is dress nice and look clean. Behave with class and do not boast or exaggerate what you have, because no one likes a braggart

[michol123]

It’s obviously multiple bankruptcies, stealing from charities and not paying taxes lol.
Ok seriously I’m not sure about looking rich some rich people look rather plain others dress for success I guess I thinks it has to do with the confidence in the way talk about business the show shark tank a good reference of rich people discussing money and negotiating

[RawIronhide]

To tell you the truth, it's mostly about the clothes you where. A trained eye can tell how expensive your clothes are. Manners, vocabulary and education level are important too but not as obviously as clothing or good style.

[lucas262]

Feeling unconfident i told myself i had a million dollars in the bank. You walk a little taller when you think highly of yourself id be surprised of i had 2000$ in the bank but you'd think I was rich, a rich mans clothes would feel natural to me

[darline19]

how they behave, how they act, how they talk, and how they look. if you ever be friends with someone real rich and someone fake rich, you'll notice the differences.

[pepperhicks]

They wear a funny hat and a monocle.

. Know them by these signs.

[Gwenhwyfar]

“As my Brother Ackerman once said, the clothes make the lawyer...”

[jamesgoldman]

I knew UHNW individuals who looked like they were on the breadline and heaps of single digit millionaires and regular affluent earners who like in designer clothes and wear a minimum wage salary on their wrist

[Jersey2]

That’s just the difference between being used to wealth and not used to it.

[jamesgoldman]

Basically looking rich is pointless unless you have the cash to back it up

[TheAfrikan]

Well basically learn how to
1. treat people right.
2. Never judge without knowing both sides.
3. The way you respect others.
4. The way you talk and position yourself.
5. The way you dress.

[JosyJosy]

Don't 'look' rich, BE rich. Else you're probably going to drain yourself dry

As for the answer ehm expensive clothes, phone, watches, car, world trips etc

[Adam1978]

Whatever it is it stupid to go around looking like it. It's a recipe for disaster. You will only draw bad people to you.

[codyccc]

Its hard to say there is this old farmer were i live thats dresses like a bum but is worth over a hundred million dollars and a guy who drives a Ferrari but is so far in debt it would take a lottery jackpot to get him out

[Anonymous]

Answer anonymously to avoid getting hate. I’ve always been told I look rich. Now I make more money than most people do so I have the means to look rich but even when I was starting my career I always got those comments. Along with them I was always told I had a very clean and polished look. And it didn’t have to do with expensive clothes, it was more about what and how to wear it.

[Hermes-Paris]

If they are wiping their ass with 20 dollar bills it is usually a pretty good sign they are somewhat rich. Or stupid.

[wankiam]

they wear a sports jacket and stupid coloured chinos... at least thats how to spot them here in the uk

[DiscomfortZone]

Just a guess, but it's usually the money they have in their hands and how they use it

[TonyT1986]

A rich person will dress in expensive clothing, drive an expensive car and wear expensive jewelry. Some may not but it’s easy to look rich if you flaunt it with material possessions.

[zagor]

That is usually shallow people trying to look rich.

[Aquiline_feast]

Expensive oil in his or her hair, expensive everyday brands of clothing or jewellery or perfume, luxurious restaurants for foods, expensive cars, all the time giving tips to any look a like poor. Providing donations and arranging it.

[DStover91]

That's a good question, cause for some reason people seem to think I'm money bags

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

You can't tell unless they dress or drive extremely expensive stuff.

Trust me, when I tell you, you will be very surprised of people who are very rich money wise yet look nor appear nothing like it. You'll shocked.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

**be

[sensible27]

Depends on your 'cultural capital' I guess... and how 'rich'...

[cerys04]

Jewellery.
Fancy car.
Nice clothes.
Designer clothes.
Handbags.

[Anonymous]

How they dress and that "the world owes me and should be kissing my ass" attitude they bring everywhere.

[Anonymous]

Their make up, hair and clothing can make a huge difference.
It is a great way to look rich.

[Paul09]

Buying over priced products? Following the "rich trend". Typical. If I was rich, you probably wouldn't even know it. I do not get theses show offs

[blondfrog]

Looking rich doesn't matter if you actually aren't. Faking being rich is just really really stupid.

[Jakeofalltrades93]

nice cloths, but its more attitude than appearance.

[Nadim171]

Do you want to be rich, or to look rich? Because they are not the same and someone who fakes being rich is easy to spot.

[OddBeMe]

Not caring about money. That’s why Trump doesn’t look rich.

[ClosetHoe]

How they dress and carry themselves.

[Konabeana]

Compassion and ambition

[avaawolf]

Why would you want to look rich lol

[1CentWorth]

Apparently, if you're white.

[cute_short_nerd]

Walking fast. Like their time is worth a lot.

[On_cloud_wine]

Polished look, behavior, speech

[2Lips]

Only obvious one is plastic surgery

[Arjunaguy]

Their behaviour, dressing and attitude

[stickytoes]

I don’t think rich people want to look rich...

[Iron_Man]
