In any society there are different strata of the population. People can be divided according to many factors, but one of the most striking factors is the level of wealth. Rich people can literally be seen from afar, and their lifestyle is significantly different. The habits and luxuries of rich people are amazing, and some even cause undisguised envy. This is not the best feeling, but you can take an example from rich people, imitate them and equal them, especially if you like this lifestyle.
Who is a rich man
Let's look at who a rich person is before we open the veil of the secrets of the life of rich people. In the usual sense of the term, a rich person is a person who has large quantity material values. Wealth can be not only material, but also spiritual or family. In this article, we look at the habits of people who are financially rich.
Wealthy people are people who are well above average. If in your region the average salary is 35,000 rubles a month, then a truly rich person either already has a significant amount, or receives at least 7-10 times more than the average. Material wealth is not only incoming money, but also already available.
Behind a rich person there is a sufficient amount of material values that can fully support his life. This includes real estate, antiques and collectibles, precious metals, products, etc. A "millionaire" can also be an ordinary poor person, for example, living in Moscow in an apartment worth 7-10 million.
But such a person cannot be called rich, even taking into account the cost of his housing. A rich person has a lot of material values, and in this case an expensive apartment is the only thing that the "millionaire" has in his soul.
How to identify a rich person
There are many myths around rich people. The biggest myth is that rich people don't work. If it were, then they would hardly have become rich if they had not inherited or won the lottery.
Rich people don't just work, they often work even harder and harder than everyone else. Polls have shown that rich people in America work an average of 50-55 hours a week when middle class works only 40-45 hours.
Rich people can be colossally busy, but they are more free to manage their own time. The reason for their vacation 3-4 times a year and numerous foreign trips is not only money, but also their approach to life.
They are not busy because they work for food/shelter, they are busy for another reason - they love their job, and it brings them a huge income. Therefore, they can afford to relax in Cyprus, the Philippines or luxury ski resorts in the Alps.
You are unlikely to be able to find out the exact work schedule of a person, so you should not focus on his employment. But you can define a rich person by his lifestyle. There are exceptions, such as, for example, the founder of the IKEA chain, Ingvar Kamprad.
He is a very wealthy man, but leads an ascetic life and still drives a Volvo 240 from 1993. But if we do not take into account rare exceptions, then rich people always betray their lifestyle.
Lifestyle is manifested both in small things and in global things. You can figure out a rich person even just by his suit or watch. An expensive car is an ambiguous indicator. You need to pay attention to the details.
A car, even an expensive one, can be taken on credit, as a thing necessary and clearly emphasizing the status. But few people will borrow 10-20 thousand dollars to buy a watch or a good suit. However, among the cars there are some brands that are typical only for truly rich people:
- Porsche;
- Bentley;
- Ferrari;
- Maybach;
Mercedes, BMW, Land Rover, etc. can belong to both rich people and people with sufficient income. Rich people are also distinguished by expensive rare cars. Some rich people are fond of collecting antiques, including rare cars.
Ideally, if you can watch a person for a while or look at the history of his life. Where a person goes to eat, where he cuts his hair and where he rests - all this betrays rich people, even those who hide their wealth. Notice where the person is getting their hair cut. The level of the salon and prices characterizes a person, as well as the regularity of visiting such places.
The same can be said about food. This includes not only expensive restaurants, but also proper nutrition, which includes a lot of fish, meat and fresh vegetables / fruits, even in winter.
The place of residence of a person is also a controversial indicator. As a rule, expensive houses or apartments are not just expensive, but because of their high quality or excellent location. Just wealthy people can buy such things, because this is a global issue of comfort. But there is also a certain sign where a person lives. Pay attention to the details of the apartment or house, as well as the materials and equipment used.
Pets bring joy not only to ordinary people, but also to the rich. There are very expensive breeds of dogs or cats, but rich people also choose classic breeds. The difference is not so much in the breeds as in the approach.
Rich people spend a lot more money on their animals. A pet is always well-groomed, and a personal doctor can be responsible for his health. Due to the catastrophic lack of time, animals are often not handled by the person himself, but by his family or specially hired people.
How rich people dress
Many rich people dress in branded clothes. Among the brands you can find both expensive, but very common and relatively "affordable" - Lacoste, and really expensive clothes. If you don’t know much about brands, then pay attention to the freshness of clothes. Wealthy people tend to update their wardrobe frequently and rarely wear second-hand clothes.
Among the favorite brands of rich people:
- Hermes;
- Ralph Lauren;
- Versace;
- Burberry;
- Armani;
For a simple man in the street, these clothes may look just stylish, but rich people appreciate them for their high quality. These are all factory clothes, but rich people often resort to custom-made clothes. This is especially true of men's suits and women's evening dresses.
Wealthy people simply can't be content with mass-produced clothes and prefer clothes that are tailor-made to fit their figure. Some rich people even have a personal tailor on staff who adjusts clothes from time to time.
Among the rich people there are also supporters Casual style buying T-shirts and sweaters up to 30 euros apiece. For example, the creator social network FaceBook - Mark Zuckerberg, wears pretty cheap T-shirts with regular pants. Another equally famous billionaire, Steve Jobs, did not pay any attention to either appearance or brands, so he appearance everyone remembers cheap black turtlenecks.
Accessories
It is much easier to identify a rich person by accessories than by his clothes. The two most important accessories that will tell you everything about a person are a phone and a watch. This applies to both sexes. Rich people prefer two brands of phones: Apple and BlackBerry.
There are status phones, for example, Vertu, but this is for true connoisseurs. Rich people prefer to use the latest models of devices, but they do it not as a tribute to fashion, but because of their functionality and convenience.
To calculate a rich person by the clock, you need to understand them. A watch for a rich person is not only a decoration on the wrist, even if its owner is a woman, but also a working tool. Rich people, like no one else, value their time and know its value. Watches should be not only beautiful, but accurate and reliable.
One of the most expensive watches in the world, the 201-carat Chopard, costs more than 25 million. Again, this is an accessory for connoisseurs and extreme. Rich people know how to count their money, and most often the watch on their wrist costs between 10-60 thousand euros. Agree, for a simple person, this amount is astronomical, but for a rich person, this is the average price for a watch. Watches of the following popular brands fall into this price category:
- Patek Philippe;
- Breguet;
- Frank Muller;
- Audemars Piguet;
- Jaeger-LeCoultre;
Patek Philippe watches are in high demand among wealthy people in Russia. For example, Alisher Usmanov has such a watch - the Perpetual Calendar 5140 model, and Vagit Alekperov - the Chronograph 5170 model. Leonid Mikhelson wears the Classique Grande Reverso model by Jaeger-LeCoultre. The most popular Breguet watch, the Marine Chronograph, is owned by several millionaires. All watches are distinguished by their extraordinary beauty, high-quality workmanship and reliable mechanism.
Expensive watches have always been the subject of copying. You need to be able to distinguish the copy from the original in order to get an idea of the person. Even a non-professional can distinguish a cheap copy, but some copies of expensive watches can also be “expensive”, and cost 1-2 thousand euros. Therefore, the clock is best considered in total with other indicators of a rich person.
History knows many examples when billionaires, having the opportunity and access to the most expensive and iconic things, refused all blessings and led a modest life: instead of luxury cars they bought and rode bicycles, instead of smart suits they wore ordinary trousers, shirts and jumpers, which they can hang in any wardrobe.

What girl doesn't want to be considered a rich fashionista from high society! Alas, no matter how hard some of the fair sex try to pretend to be wealthy ladies, buying expensive things and making an important person, they are still easy to “figure out” by typical mistakes in choosing wardrobe and accessories. British fashion experts offer some very practical advice for those who want to look perfect.
1. Clothes must look perfect.
To make your clothes seem very expensive to others, it is not at all necessary to brag about elite labels. The whole point is not in the number of zeros on the price tag, but in how the thing looks on you. You can, for example, buy a shirt that is modest in price, but if it is perfectly ironed and washed, it will be perceived by others as expensive. So it is better to spend money on a great iron with a steam mode and a quality washing machine than to spend money on clothes from expensive boutiques.
2. Feel free to wear white clothes
If you often dress in all white, it will tell others that you are not shaking over every item of your toilet, and the risk of putting a stain on your clothes is nonsense for you. Your whole appearance should seem to say: “I will stain the snow-white dress? Not a problem: tomorrow I’ll go and buy the same thing, because I’m a wealthy girl.”
3. Shoes with heels
Don't be afraid to wear expensive boots and shoes high heels. If you constantly cut through the streets in sneakers and non-staining boots designed for chilly, dirty weather, this will not speak of your practicality, but only that you are forced to constantly move on foot or in public transport. But expensive elegant shoes and stilettos are evidence that their owner, most likely, usually drives a taxi or is driven by her own chauffeur.
4. Love silk and cotton
Wear silk and cotton, and avoid polyester and other synthetic materials. natural fabric at all times was, is and will remain a sign of a wealthy person. It is eco-friendly, comfortable and looks rich. These outfits will give your look a touch of sophistication.
5. When leaving the house, take an umbrella-cane
If the weather in your city often brings unexpected surprises, don't forget to carry an umbrella. At the same time, it should not be folding, but large (cane). Firstly, such an accessory will add solidity to you. And, secondly, if you suddenly get caught in the rain without an umbrella and ruin your hair and makeup, this will negate your entire image. After all, a rich person looks well-groomed always and everywhere.
6. Buy the right bag and carry it the right way
You must have a Birkin handbag. Yes, it is expensive, but you have to fork out if you want to be considered very wealthy. After all, this is one of the invariable attributes of a rich woman. Another important detail: the handbag should be worn in the crook of the elbow, and not held in the hand.
7. Wristwatch
Even though you always have at hand mobile phone(and it is possible that it is fashionable and expensive), always wear Wrist Watch. This is also an attribute of a rich person. When a girl or woman urgently needs to know what time it is, and for this she starts digging through her bag in search of a phone, it looks awkward and fussy. Wealthy ladies don't do that - they just take a quick look at their wrist.
8. Try not to wear a jacket
If you want to look rich, forget about down jackets. A warm sports jacket is, of course, indispensable on the ski slopes or during a winter family trip out of town. But if you often go out to people, it is better to prefer a perfectly fitted down jacket fashion coat or trench coat. Such outerwear looks rich, elegant and refined on a woman.
9. Don't stuff your bag with junk
Don't carry too many things with you. Speaking figuratively, a wealthy woman needs a handbag only to put lipstick, a phone and a bank card in it. If you are with a lot of money, you do not need to carry "reserves" in your bag for all occasions. After all, in the event of some unforeseen situation, you can buy everything you need after the fact. And your gaze at the same time should be condescendingly careless, and not preoccupied. In general, a massive bag stuffed to overflowing with women's things does not look aesthetically pleasing and is not at all associated with luxury and high society.
10. Pay attention to ... a suitcase
If you are traveling, your luggage must be immaculate. An expensive set of travel suitcases is the same business card wealthy woman, such as her shoes or handbag.
