We tried to learn what the indications are that someone’s richer than they seem.
Pretend Begging

“Where rich kids will travel to some low-income country in Asia or Central/South America and bum around in hostels for a few months while earning money through begging.”
Backpacking

“I live very close to SE-Asia but am hesitant to go on vacation to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc., because of their perception of Westerners. I don’t want to be lumped in with those idiots.”
Couch-surfing

“I always heard it called Trustafarian.”
Certain Ignorance

“They don’t understand why that cashier or waiter who is missing teeth can’t just go and get some dentures. They’ll blame drugs rather than the cost of dental care.”
Being Judgmental

“The second I realized how much dental work costs, I would actively correct my parents from making those comments. It sounds bad that it took me that long, but I never could really grasp it until I saw a bill.”
Money Blindness

“What I’ve run into with people is they don’t understand that ‘a few thousand’ dollars are a lot. And not everyone has that kind of savings to dip into.”
They Live Off the “Bank of Mom & Dad”

“A lot of hippies and artist types do this. They’re really evasive about how they get by with an expensive loft in a high-rent city without a proper job (it’s their parents/family).”
Living Situation Beyond Normal Means

“Met two guys who lived together in a 1500 square foot, 3 million dollar loft in Soho. Claimed they were artists! Def got Dubai oil money vibes (parents money).”
Paying A Massive Debt Quicker Than Usual

“That reminds me of those articles that are like, ‘How I paid off $20k of debt in 2 years.’ And it starts off as starting a gig job, couponing, not eating out as much, and then at the end, it’s like, ‘and my parents pay for my rent’ or ‘and I inherited $10k from a dead relative.'”
Pseudo Humbleness

“It reminds me of how Grimes tried to make Elon Musk sound humble and relatable by saying that he only eats peanut butter and has a hole in his mattress. That’s his choice. He’s still a multi-BILLIONAIRE.”
Wrong Ways of Trying to Be Relatable

“Or how he apparently doesn’t have a home. So? He could buy every home and every jar of peanut butter in the country if he wanted to. His choice to be a weirdo; doesn’t make him poor!”
Class Wars

“I knew a guy in college who constantly used the fact that he was ‘middle class’ as an excuse to be incredibly nasty to people he considered more privileged than him.”
Judging People Based on Wealth (Or Lack of)

“I later discovered that his parents paid for his tuition, rent and regularly bought him electronics worth thousands of dollars.”
Confusing Cheapness For Poverty

“I had a roommate for a while who would always talk about how poor she was growing up, but as far as I can tell, her concept of poverty was having to use coupons, sticking to budgets, and eating things like hamburger helper.”
Equating Thriftiness With Being Penniless
Image Credit: Shutterstock.
“I knew a girl like this because her parents were just cheap, but she’d lament about her childhood, then got gifted 80k for a downpayment for a suburb by Boston. If your parents own multiple properties and can pay your college tuition in cash, you’re not poor. They’re just spendthrifts.”
The Wealth Face

“Influencers and celebrities who try to throw you some poverty sob story for PR — especially influencers — don’t realize that there’s a ‘wealth face.'”
Perfect Appearance

“They will have their teeth straight and pearly-white. Their face will be near perfectly symmetrical from growing up with excellent nutrition and access to endodontics that ‘correct’ their face shape. They will have slightly too perfect noses and eyebrows from when they started on cosmetic surgery in their teens.”
Diet
Image Credit: Shutterstock.
“Being extremely into clean eating/splurging on vegan stuff, like meat and dairy substitutes, and feeling like something better, because they are doing their part against global warming and the climate crisis.”
Clothing Brand Choices

“Wearing Urban Outfitters’ new ‘urban renewal’ collection, specifically the Dickies shirt.”
Clothing Brand Choices

“Urban Outfitters, in general, is really overpriced clothing to look thrifted or poor.”
OTT Gang Vibe
Image Credit: Shutterstock.
“Suburban rich kids swearing they’re from the hood and joining gangs. You grew up with a maid, butler, and chauffeur. There’s nothing ‘hood’ about you.”
Fake “Hood” Aesthetic
Image Credit: Shutterstock.
“What comes to mind with that are these young celebs and/or celebs’ kids. Maybe not acting like they’re in a gang, but they certainly look like they’re trying to pull off the hood vibe. Like, please, your parents are literally millionaires.”
Acting Underprivileged

“My ex is like this. Grew up in a pretty decent area, never worried about money, had his parents pay for everything, and swore he ‘had it tough growing up’.”
