I found that if you treat people like normal people they respond to you better. I'm not in any position to judge people. I'm not a wealthy man, I don't come from money or do I want or need yours. If you need something, I will do whatever I can to help you. With that said, I am very rich. I can and will talk to anyone and everyone. I love to hear your story, just don't feed me a line of BS. I know people that are very poor to billionaires, poor people (ex: homeless) are surprised that I talk to them just like my neighbors, coworkers, family and friends. Surprisingly very wealthy people are the same way towards me. I met a man, who didn't lie to me, just gave me a very vague description of himself and that he owned a few companies. Which was fine, after spending a few days with him (I guided an upland bird hunt for him and his family) he confided in me that he wasn't forthcoming with his life description. He was very, very wealthy but tell people cause they always ask for money. He owned the company that sells the juice in silver packets, a leer jet dealership (He was flown in by his own jet pilot) and several other high end businesses. Which made no difference to me, I treated him like I treated a homeless person, the waitresses at the restaurant, the manager of the his hunting preserve, a guy walking down the street. The same way I treated the guy whose truck had broke down beside the road, my family and friends and people I don't even know. Courteous, friendly, helpful and kindly. Be content with who you are and what you have. Materials things don't make you "rich", what's in your heart and soul make you "rich", I want everyone to remember me for being a good human being that did what I could to make them like regular people. We're all the same, whether we're wealthy, poor, homeless, a waitress, a preacher, a convict, whoever. We're just people, living the best life we are dealt. Some hard, some easy. Just the best as we can. Sorry it got long, but I truly believe this in my heart. Have a wonderful day, wear your best smile and you'll brighten someone else's day.
Yes. The way they would look at you differently would depend on who they are as a person and who you are. They mix of outcomes would be as numerous as these potential combinations. People would also look at poor people differently as well. It just is. At the end of the day, people are just people for all the positives and negatives that that can bring.
CNo one can predict how people will react. Everyone is different. I quite honestly do not see why it would matter if someone came from a rich background or a poor one. I've known people from all walks... What matters is the persons behavior and Outlook on life. Jerks are jerks and good hearted people will be good hearted people no matter what their background are. Honestly this question can be flipped 🙃 "would people look at you any differently if they knew you were from a very poor family?" And of course the answer to this would vary as well... The only thing to be said is if someone does judge badly or treats you wrong based on your family background then cut them off. The way I see it Great friends are hard to come by and A Good friendship is precious. They're economical background isn't going to make a difference to me. I love my friends and I could never maltreat or abuse a friend... Damn a person who would isn't exactly a "friend" ... Cliche perhaps but with a friend like that who needs enemies
About 99% of my friends do not care how much money I have, they judge me by my personality, my achievements, my behaviour and my clothes. I have met one or two people who cared but they were the exception and both were people I hated. I think cause all my friends are super religious, and 98% are high quality people.
The thing is so many people judge others based off of stupid shit all the time , That’s something that never bothered me honestly considering I am grateful for what I achieved and accomplished in life , I am very independent and consider myself a hard worker so if someone is richer than me or poorer then me doesn’t really faze me, all that matters is they are cool with me and treat me nice , I don’t depend on anyone to take care of me and things don’t really faze me honestly , when people show off their shit to me I am like that’s cool that’s awesome , when someone compliments things I have I just say thank you and agree with them that yes I like it as well , I am not the type to rub shit in peoples faces I am the type that wants others to enjoy it with me. People that get jealous off of other people’s things is pointless cuz it’s just things , We are all human and we all have to do what we have to do to survive , take all those things away and all that would matter to me is survival , I would do what I had to do to survive
Everyone would look at you differently, even if it wasn't obvious. Middle-class people would feel a bit alienated, wealthy would be somewhat more accepting, and the poor would be after your money (all generalizations, of course - individual responses would vary).
I work for a bunch of upper-middle class and a few outright upper class, and I have a close relationship with many of them, and it makes little difference to me, but there's no question that they ARE different in some ways than other people.
Absolutely! If you are from a very wealthy family, by default you have a whole lot more chances to be a very successful person than peasants who are fighting each other just to get by. And people who are looking at you, Know that. Wealth gets you more power, more power gets you more influence and more influence gets you even more money and vicious circle continues.
Yes, some people care a lot about social and/or financial status, and wealth undoubtedly contributes to have a good social standing. Such people would probably look at me and treat me differently... for good or bad, as a lot of people where I live hate rich people

This is one of the reasons I don't tell people about my family or what stock I'm from. It wouldn't matter anyway as I turned my back on my family when I wss young and have never accepted their money. But when they die I'm still The heir to the family estate, although I will donate most if it to charities and organisations. I made my own money and don't want theirs.
The people I'm friends with wouldn't think differently about me. They like me for who I am and what I believe in. I know I wouldn't think differently about my friends. I don't care if they are filthy rich or dirt poor.
There is absolutely ZERO doubt about it , ask anyone from a famous family , if you are a Johnson ( J and J ) everybody knows your heritage , everyone seeks you out , you are viewed completely differently.

Yes. Tons of gold diggers and users and harpies, that only care about benefiting from you. Can't trust people once they know how extremely wealthy you are. You never know if they are with you because they really like you or because they know you can benefit them and being used for the money and everything, that comes with it.
It's a very dangerous position to be in. A fool and it's wealth are soon to be parted.
Not my friends or family but other people will definitely change their opinion coz all these high class models and escorts and celebrities are always seen okay but girls like me are always looked down on just because we are prostitutes
That's the problem with some, if not most, people. They see dollar signs and then they want some. But, if they never knew you were rich, they'd treat you the same as anybody else.
Really it sucks but if I found out a friend was actually from a wealthy family after thinking or being led to think differently it would be weird I’d like to think it wouldn’t matter but the truth is if you ever go to the family’s house and meet the family it would kinda weird I mean I don’t know of any rich people that actually go slumming in real life and I wouldn’t blame them because to many people would have their hand out wanting something also I wouldn’t be able to afford their life style and I have too much pride to let them pay for everything so with all that being said it’s sucks but yes they would the users would be crawling from under every rock around you wouldn’t be able to trust that someone is really your friend unless they came from the same kind of money
