Sometimes, though, the signs of a wealthy person are more subtle. Are any of your friends secretly rich? Use this list to find out!
1.
Have a friend who is moving to the Bay area. To work for a non-profit. Part-time. She didn't know what her salary would be. -u/monkeyfeets
3.
I cleaned huge houses for a living, and to me, it was the custom-built Lego rooms with cabinets -floor to ceiling -full of organized lego sets. -u/EddieLaneWrites
5.
Friend of mine used to run a ridiculously exclusive cocktail bar. He always said "The ones in the fancy clothes who look filthy rich are normally reasonably wealthy. The ones in jeans and t-shirts who look normal are normally filthy rich" Basically, the truly rich people didn't see the place as anything out of the ordinary, so saw no reason to dress up. -u/DendroNate
6.
Paying for everyone’s food/ picking up the tab (when done in a passive and nonchalant way). -u/Everyday_a
8.
Suspicious amounts of free time to pursue their interests, travel, or just be out and about. -u/dildonic_aftermath
9.
Spontaneity. Just talking about something or some place and doing it or booking it there and then. -u/evilgiraffee57
10.
Alan Clarke, a British politician born into a wealthy family, once disparaged someone by describing them as "the sort of person who bought all his own furniture". -u/BobbyP27
11.
I know it's not a big thing, but people who use really nice plates and silver cutlery very casually. I've seen poor people with mustangs. But I've never seen poor people eating with polished silver. -u/garlicroastedpotato
14.
A Steinway concert grand piano in the living room (worth about $195,000) that no one in the household plays. -u/Back2Bach
16.
A family member owns a lake house but always refers to it as “just a little weekend place” like it’s no big deal and everyone has one. -u/samiam871
18.
I used to know the price of a gallon of milk but now I don’t. I am not rich, but I used to be poor. I needed to know that price. Now we are blessed to have enough that if I need it, I just grab it without looking at the price tag I imagine that being rich would be similar but on a grander scale. -u/ilyatwttmab
19.
I work in the private jet world. Rich takes tons of photos getting on the plane. Real money just walks straight onto the plane. -u/Clumsymax
22.
Maybe not quietly, but being able to afford college without loans, financial aid, or having a job screams money. Bonus points if the parents are bankrolling the whole experience. -u/mcmcsample
25.
"I was out with a few friends of friends last year, and I was talking about how I was going to be forced out of the area I live because rent prices have increased by 15-20% in the last 12 months. One of the group piped up with the sincere, but dumb as f*ck, suggestion, "Why not just buy your own house?" Cheers pal, never thought of that.
Spoke to him a while longer and it turns out his family are major landlords in the area and own many of the apartments within the area of the city I live in. One of the deciding reasons I can't buy my own property is, funnily enough, his parents buying it all up and charging so much for rent that being in a position to even save for a mortgage is a pipe dream, let alone actually getting one.
