What screams “I’m way richer than I look”? (r/AskReddit) 

This makes me realize that my rich friends aren't that rich and we're all just upper broke-

putting your damaged diamond pickaxe in a shulker box and pulling out a fresh one

money

From a young age, I have refused to wear clothes that have their name brand on them. They aren't paying me to advertise for them.

Screaming “I’m way richer than I look”

*I Look Like I Only Have 2 Dollar, But I Actually have 3 Dollar’s :)*

Sometimes I just want to be able to buy groceries without having a panic attack

This is how rich I want to be. So rich that I start thinking money can't buy you happiness

Fun facts: Poor people thinks wealthy people keeps their money in the bank.

Having RU-vid premium.

what I learnt from this:Jeffree Star is poor

I went to see an opera once in a hoodie and flip flops. Wonder if people thought I was an undercover millionaire.

my dads side is in the top 1% in our country and i can confirm literally all of these, my aunt once gave me $30 for gum and it confused the hell out of her when i said i only needed 35¢

I saw a guy in a walgreens with a straw hat, tshirt, jorts, and no shoes. He had the first tesla ive ever seen in person. It was electric blue.

“A Patek Philippe might slip under their nose” Me: a who??

Rather than being rich, I wanna be successful someday without having to look at the price when I buy groceries, or take my mom for a dinner. As I grow up, it's a pain to see my mom sighing when looking at the price whenever we wanna eat outside. I want her to be happy

wearing pajamas and crocs... I already act rich, I just need to be rich...

"would you like to know how much they are, sir?" "can you ship them all to my place? Idk why but that killed me 😂

I can’t even afford to eat at Olive Garden my cousins have been to Disney world like 5 times and the only way I went is because they payed EVERYTHING AHHH IM STILL GUILTY TIL THIS DAY

My uni friend’s family is rich - not rich rich, but still very comfortable in their multi-million dollar home. His mum and dad dress so casually you could never tell. He also never told me what his dad did for a job which makes me suspicious on just how much his family makes. Another family I know are rich rich - over $250 mill. But are the most humble and nicest people I’ve ever met. The wife hates flaunting her wealth so she de-badged every car they own so only those who are car people know the real value

I live in Hungary. People here aren’t really the most accepting when it comes to Arabic people (the government is incredibly racist, and the propaganda kinda sank into people’s brain). In 2015, when I got into high school, the first day, there was a short, quiet Arabic boy in our class. Everyone was making memes out of him because he was Arabic, dressed like shit, so they thought that he was an illegal migrant. I always hated this attitude so I sat down next to him and started talking. He became one of my best friends throughout the years. It turned out, his family worth a couple *billion* dollars, and half of the family lives in Dubai, the other half lives here. He got a $30000 Cartier for his 18th birthday. Nobody recognized that it was an ultra expensive watch. I was the only one who knew the actual price. Still, he kinda dressed like a middle school nerd. Every time when I asked him why, he told me: “Why the f*ck would I flash out brand names, when only dumb and poor people do it?” I have only bought plain hoodies and T-shirts ever since lol

"Imagine having $60 Billion in the bank." Nobody has that much, or even close to that much, in the bank. If someone is worth $60 billion, $59.8 billion of that is in stocks and property.

Turns out that I'm basically rich, money aside.

Money talks, wealth whispers, and power is silent. Rich people want friends. But it’s a lot harder to have friends when you are rich

The wearing whatever you want and not trying to impress people is actually true. My family is well off so we go to nice restaurants fairly often ($1000 dollars or so for a meal for 4 people) and I was there with my friend and I said, look for the guy who looks like he doesnt care. Everyones in formal dinner attire except this one guy in sweats and a hoodie, sure enough hes wearing a 50,000 dollar Patek Phillippe on his wrist.

Idk why but I feel really weird that there are people who are so rich like this. I know a person who killed himself because his family couldn't afford him to take online classes; he felt like a burden and couldn't take the guilt. I know someone whose father is bartering 3 chickens just so his son could have a second hand phone to use for his online class. It's crazy that the super rich and super poor could live drastically different worlds just because of money. Edit: I don't mean to compare the rich and poor nor did I say that one was better than the other. What I felt and what I observed were the only things that I mentioned.

When you’re 18 and consistently forget to check prices while shopping

"Everyone can recognize a rolex" Me: su...sure👀

My dad collects patek philip watches but I had no idea he had this money till recently he had lied to me my whole childhood and is filthy rich

Mom always said to work hard until 1 grand looks and feels like 1 dollar

"Having money isn't everything, not having it is." -Kanye West

" *That's around 7 Dollars to 11K Dollars* "

“What screams I’m rich” First of all, doesn’t scream. It’s silent.

The first story, tho. I read tweet about meeting girlfriend parents and they treat you so good, bring you to the good restaurant, buy you a gift because they want to tell you that this is how they raise their princess, can you?

I'm still questioning why buying popcorn in a movie theater is being considered wealthy. In that case I am a billionaire because I always get popcorn. Its just like the natural law for me

People who don’t really talk about their wealth usually are very wealthy. I worked at a restaurant where this guy used to go with his wife, mom or brother all the time. He used to be a little intimidating at first, so only my aunt (who was also a server) would serve him. It wasn’t until a couple of days of me serving him that I got to know more of him and his family. He owned a couple of very successful companies in the city, and eventually learnt that he helped with most of the money that helped the owner open the restaurant I worked on. He is an amazing person, he never showed off his wealth, and had amazing respect for everyone who worked really hard. Even though I don’t work there anymore, I hope he is doing well. It was always a pleasure to have convos with him when he went to have lunch there.

I went to look at the prices of a Patek Philippe and goddamn, I’ve never felt so broke...

I did not know my friend was rich until he asked me to buy samosas and gave me 20 times the worth of money to buy them

Meanwhile I collect rocks off the side of the road

This is actually really comforting, as in I never got brands and flexing to begin with, I figured most people don't but to see that it really doesn't matter is nice.

As Napoleon Bonaparte once said: not everybody has the right to underdress.

They also don’t have social media, except maybe a private instagram

Anyone who doesn't mention weather they have a new phone, pair of shoes, or car.

When you’re so poor you don’t even know what a gold credit card is 🤣

When working with the old man, we had to deal with a guy that was filthy rich. Emails my dad, tells him to call on a specific number. Dad disregards it, cause it’s not from any of the companies we deal with. A day or 2 later, old mate emails again, and mentions dad’s company, and another MASSIVE company we deal with. Literally the biggest shipping agency in the world at the time. Dad ends up calling the number, secretary answers, and puts him through to the guy. Old mate says he’s just purchased the Agency, PLUS one of the ports in Sydney, so he’s coming out to check on them, but doesn’t want anyone to know he’s coming. Tells old man to be at the airport, he’ll be on X flight, and to just have a sign with the company name on it. Anyways, day comes, old man is out waiting, when a guy with jeans, tennis shoes and a t shirt comes up and goes “hi X, ready to go?” Old man just goes “uuuuhhh, sorry, who the hell are you?” The bloke goes “I’m so and so, who you’re looking after!” Old man doesn’t believe him until he shows his passport. Dad just laughs and goes “shit, sorry mate, didn’t realise!” He just laughs and says “lemme guess, you were expecting the robes, and several security escorts?” Needless to say, this guy had just purchased the 2 companies for a combined $27 billion or so......

once, when my sister was still in school (fancy private school, sacrifices were made, and we were the poorest kids in school, which is actually not poor at all), they were doing presentations about pet's (with english as second language) and a chinese kid who didnt speak very well started doing his presentation on a lion. The teacher and classmates were telling him it was supposed to be pets, not favourite animals, and explaining the difference bcs the kid had very poor english and portuguese (our native tongue), the kid was trying to say that he understood, and it took him advancing the slides of the powerpoint to show himself with his pet lion in the private zoo inside his house. The kid only stayed in our school some months and he didnt make any friends (that we know of) but my sister never forgot and still tells the story every now and then. She never forgot bcs of the faces of her "rich" classmates.

My late grandmother had a giant ass treehouse in the middle of no where. I'm saying it was absolutely humongous. I had only seen it once and it's sad that she sold it before I would've gotten to at least go inside once

I always thought that clothes with huge ass logos were tacky as hell, now i know why

“We’re not rich, we’re comfortable” Knows the differences between wealth and richness For me I spot the differences in language

Wealthy people don't have "money" they have ASSETS

Who else looked up Patek Philippe and lost their breath when they saw the prices of their watches

My ex-wife's family was pretty well off but aside from a nice home they didn't really outwardly show it. Nobody in the family worked or had any kind of income though. Her and I lived on our own and were honestly fairly poor. We both worked full-time jobs and went a community college full-time. She never asked for any help from her family and was very frugal. One time I remember we ended up not having enough money to pay all of our bills and she asked her mom if she could borrow a little money until payday. Her mom just wrote her a check for $10,000 like it was nothing, and then asked if that was enough. She honestly didn't even know that we lived on less than $2000 a month. Her mother had never worked, and had no concept of money. She once gave me a bathrobe for Christmas that cost more than my car. I never even had a bathrobe before that. We split up amicably because we'd gotten married too young and had different goals, but I will say she never took advantage of her family wealth. She didn't even accept that check her mom offered, and we ended up selling some stuff at GameStop to pay the bills. She worked her way through college and we lost touch over the years, but I always respected her a lot for making her own way.

one time I was bragging to my friend about getting a full row all to myself on an airplane and she was so confused as to why that is something to celebrate. found out she's never flown coach before... ok

4:22 "After we ate the owner". I guess only the rich could get away with something like that.

Getting extra meat on your subway sandwiches

Anyone here who looks rich, but is actually poor? No? Just me? 🙂💔

1995, in primary school. Me & my best friend playing on field, suddenly approach by Mercedes Limo. He tried to open rear door of this car. I stop him, telling that limo is State Secretary car. He smiles, and said 😉"thats my dad"

4:49 THIS 💯 no matter how rich some people get, they stay living frugal, saving money wherever they can! That is a huge part of becoming rich, the other being generating more SOURCES of income, not just income itself

$7 per person isnt bad for first class tickets from US to AUS

There was also this grandma who wore like a dress that wasn't that all special and was in the market buying some ordinary stuff, then she went outside to be picked up by a very expensive car like, woah granny

I look rich but I'm actually financially struggling lol

Talk less, smile more. Wealth whispers, riches roar.

grandma approved

My family is kinda rich I guess? We have an elevator in our house if that gives some insight. But I don't wear loud designer everytime I go out. If I do own designer, it's mostly bootleg because I don't support those companies anyway. I thrift almost all my clothes nowadays. I really don't get the appeal of "hypebeasts"

I had a coworker at the hospital who was super chill, she and her husband lived in the nice but small house she grew up in, and they weren’t showy or anything. Then she let it slip that neither of her parents worked growing up. They were so rich that both parents just stayed home. Apparently, her grandfather or great grandfather was one of the biggest distributors of alcohol during prohibition and went legal afterward. They still own a company that distributes it, but aren’t involved at all.

This channel is somehow great even though listening to Microsoft Sam struggle through illiterate reddit posts is genuinely painful.

My moms best friend’s family owns the biggest food company in Thailand, she buys a new phone if she runs out of space and takes a trip to Macao (basically Asian Las Vegas) once a month and spends an ungodly amount of money, but she only wears baggy nondescript clothing and carry’s her belongings in a plastic bag instead of a purse.

1:32 "Not knowing prices for common household items" Meanwhile me, knowing the prices of all products on the 5 supermarkets close to my house and always checking which one will be putting the best discounts during the week, and even weighing the groceries (even in supermarkets where it's not necessary) and adding up their prices in a calculator to make sure I don't run out until the end of the month Yeah

I went for lunch with my father at the food court in a mall. While we were eating he said "hey, you see that guy over there? You know who he is?". I looked and saw a little Asian guy, mid 30s, in crocs, tank top and beach short(I live in a tropical country) . The guy was unloading boxes for the fast food where we're eating in. He was a bit dirty and sweaty. "No idea who is." I said. "He is the owner" he said. "he owns the fast food?" I asked in surprise. "Yes also that. He owns 80% of the foodcourt's fast-foods. " he chuckled. "But what I meant is that he owns the mall, the entire building, he's the landlord. Retailers, stores and franchise are renting the place but he owns it." "Holy crap!". I was flabbergasted. You'd never imagine that the working class looking Asian guy would be a millionnaire. I have to add that his car was a 10-15yo Ford ranger pick-up truck. While it had been well maintained it was obviously old. That day I learned that there are rich people out there who just don't feel the need to display how much they are rich.

I remember having a friend who ended his relationship with his ultra-rich girlfriend. He described how intimidated and self-conscious he was whenever they went on dates.

I lived in a small town, I mean a very small town in Tennessee. There was always this one house that had crazy, amazing decorations for the Holidays. Turns out he owned a section of Disney World and that was one of his many properties.

How you feel when you think you have only 2 dollars but then you check your bank balance and it shows you have 20 dollars left.

6:19 "Patek Philippe Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Platinum 5016P-021" Price: £525,000 Condition: Pre-Owned (!!!)

What screams I'm way richer than I look? Have you seen me? The opposite of that.

My best friend in college had rich parents. Living in the trump tower famous. Sitting on millions. But my friend never acted she was above everyone and she worked at the mall and drives a 2006 car and 2013 MacBook Air. Would give me clothing from j crew and other high quality name clothes casually that she wore once. She would even befriend the staff at the dining hall and we would all hang out. befriends corner store employees and hangs out with them. The only problem is she would buy gifts for girls she liked and spend all her money on them. Love her tho. ❤️

When the sun hits your reptilian skin JUST rightttt and you warm up (oh yeah).

I had a friend throughout Year 7-9 (6-8th grade) who I was unaware was very rich. I come from a pretty lower than usual middle-class family, so it was pretty unbelievable that he was actually THAT rich. One thing I’ve noticed is that their accents are usually indistinguishable, because they’ve never really had many friends aside from family, so I guess they must’ve just been raised on cartoons and films. He was very friendly, but a bit of a compulsive liar (not in a malicious way, just menial things but he did it so often) and he was quite awkward around people. He invited me to his house one time after his birthday, and i couldn’t believe how huge it was. He had mentioned a few times that his parents were rich, but believe me when I tell you this house was massive. I’m talking about 4 floors and dozens of rooms. He didn’t think much of it, but I had flashbacks of how many times he had came to my small council house and I felt embarrassed and thought about what his parents might have thought of me. I’ve grown pretty distant from him, but when school starts back up I might try to talk to him again.

"How much does coffee go for these days, 50 dollars?" "Oh Lorenzo!"

The millionaire next door is a good book to understand the spending habits of the rich, mostly they don't overspend or care of showing their status through purchases of luxurious items.

I can afford to send my kids skiing for $7 per person

5:53 I'm not rich but these brands seem tacky indeed, at least in my opinion

If I was rich, I think I’d still relatively use the same amount of money as an everyday person. If I could just be financially supported comfortably to work on my art for a few years before getting a stable job in the art industry, I would be so happy just to have that chance.

One thing I can tell: Rich people don't talk about money. They don't want others to know what they've got and just want to live a peaceful live among all others.

I just googled a Patek Phillipe. Oh my!

what screams “i’m way richer than i look”? *one direction in 2012*

I remember my mom drives an old, cheap car and only wears expensive clothes when it's appropriate. She never flaunts her money and always tells us to work if we want money, but gives us money anyways of we really ask since we rarely do. But man, people do get very shocked when they realize she actually earns a lot from our business and always hung out in cafes in the afternoon (pre-pandemic, we just order coffee beans online and brew it ourselves now). Her rich friends who are part of the richest families in our province are also the same. Very simple looking people who do are quite frugal. The time it really dawned on me how privileged we were was when my mom treated my family and her friends to this expensive resto on her birthday. After that her friends brought us to this newly opened cafe that was very expensive. Told us to pick any dessert we wanted, and of course we picked cheaper ones out of courtesy also cause we were full. I can still remember how a pay check never landed on our table then I was told that the lady who told us to pick anything was actually the owner and was a good friend of my mom's friends. Damn. I'm glad we grew up working hard and living somewhat simple compared to others because we're actually grounded and know what it's really like for most people.

"What screams im way richer than i look?" An entitled rich kid that didn't get the clothes he wanted, so it's wearing less expensive clothes than usual

Like the guy who founded IKEA, he's worth billions, but he still drives around in a 90's Volvo to save money.

Walking past iron instead of mining it.

Hey man, you're not buying a watch for yourself, you're just holding onto it for the next generation. Like my wedding ring and cane, I'm intending to pass them on so I want something that lasts longer than my walmart sandals or wrangler jeans

At this place I was going for therapy I met a guy with pyjamas with minions on them, shabby looking crocs on casually getting into a jaguar with a chauffeur. My first time seeing a Jaguar in real life

2 words: *Mark Zuckerberg*

I'm pretty well off. People probably wouldn't know from the car I drive, how I dress, live etc. However the old stereotype about shoes is kind of true. I grew up poorer and hated having shoes that fell to bits or needed replacing too often. I will usually buy the best shoes or boots in a shop and I wear them even when I'm rolling around in shabby clothes.

Recently I just realized how stupidly rich one of my best friend family is. The house that he's currently living in is his sister's old house. It got 1 stupidly large room that he said was a clothes warehouse and 3 average sized room (one of it is where he sleeps, it's a 4mx4m room and the other is for his friends when they come for a sleepover). One day I got curious and enter the so-called "clothes warehouse" and boom, it was a fucking luxury item museum. His rare collection of basketball shoes, his mom's collection of luxury branded bags and watches, his sister's collection of branded clothing. Just from a glance I can tell that the whole collection in the room must've worth at least $500k (I remember seeing at least 7 hermes bags and some other bags that I don't even know the brand) And a little digging told me that his mom is one of the founder of the most successful housewares brand in my country.

I don't know prices of things, I never look at prices at the supermarket. I'm broke af, I was just raised bad.

"It's one banana. What could it cost, ten dollars?" Ayy arrested development

Does spending real life money for game items count? I always see youtubers do that and as someone not as rich as them, I just can't stop thinking about it lol

It's amazing to see how commonplace luxury brands and wealthy lifestyles have become. Movies from the 1980s usually depicted ultra-weathly individuals driving a Mercedes, shopping at Gucci and lounging in a pool next to a 4,000 sq ft home. That almost seems middle class now.

"...accessories like Dolce&Gabana or Mount Blanc". Yeah, like H&M or Chanel.

I can also sense if someone is rich if he says "thats........so expensive" in a awkward way like he doesnt know that, that is a normal price
