We also included responses from other Reddit threads here and here.
1."They wear very nice clothing without any brand identification."
"Exactly. Gucci and Prada and all that is for absolute SUCKERS. I have a friend who’s a trust fund baby in the nine-figure range – zero logos anywhere."
"I used to do remodeling/carpentry in a very wealthy town here in New Jersey. I never caught any of these people wearing clothes covered in LV logos or Gucci signs. If they weren't dressed in a suit for work, they wore solid-colored T-shirts with khakis or jeans and running shoes."
2."They are quiet when the discussion is about cost of living pressures, and will deflect the questions from themselves and/or nudge the conversation into a different direction."
"Most of the time, they will stay quiet about money, but never balk when presented with a bill."
3."Casually having expensive hobbies. Stuff like sailing, skiing, and golfing. Especially in areas where those activities aren’t as accessible, and if they’ve been doing it for a long time. You live in the Midwest, but you’ve been surfing since you were 10? Probably rich."
4."They have a certain ease with which they move about the world that you have to see to understand."
5."Minimalist homes. I don't know why, but many rich people like the simple aesthetic, which honestly doesn't feel homey. They'd rather live with very few things."
"Once you know you have money to replace things, it’s much easier to let go of them. Minimalist decor aesthetics are very rooted in this idea."
"Minimalism is for people who didn’t grow up saving all the plastic food tubs to use as Tupperware."
6."They will be very selective in those they choose to be friends with, for various legal reasons."
"I went to high school with the offspring of millionaires and billionaires, and something that I always noticed was how close sibling groups are. It's because they exist in the same space in life, they understand what that means, and they don't have to worry about each other's intentions. But then, if you manage to become friends with someone, then you kind of get absorbed by the whole sibling group. They're all kinda like, 'Well okay, clearly he's okay.'"
7."Teeth are a subtle sign. You can tell when someone's gone to the dentist multiple times a year their entire lives, and that's an expensive habit. Their parents had the money to establish that routine when they were young, they had the money to keep it up, and they're not too busy or poor to sacrifice something so cosmetic as the pearliness of their whites."
