15 Non-Obvious Signs Someone is Wealthy

fifteen non-obvious signs someone is wealthy welcome to a Lux calm the place where future billionaires come to get inspired if you're not subscribed yet you're missing out hello a lack sirs welcome back we hope you had an incredible week so far before we start we want to take a moment to congratulate you on crushing your goals and making the choice to watch this video when everybody else is binging Netflix you are on the right path with that said today we're focusing on the subtleties of wealth when thinking about rich people you probably have this idea of extreme opulence fancy clothes big flashy houses and brand names but that's not actually the case you see the world of the rich is split into two parts new money and old money with new money you can tell right away someone just got rich they splurge they're loud they're screaming look at me from every pore but that's not the full story actually the majority of the rich population is what is considered matured money either passed down from generation to generation or self-made but through discipline and hard work the thing is you might be in the same room with someone that's incredibly wealthy and have no idea how much their works for the future billionaires in the audience today we're taking a look at the 15 subtle signs someone is super rich here's what to look for number one teeth hair posture and skin the biggest giveaway is how healthy they look starting from a general state of being - specifics one of the first thing rich people fix is their teeth they make it a priority to have their teeth clean white and presentable this doesn't mean having diamond grilles instead they focus on making sure their teeth don't distract from the conversation there's no bigger turnoff than bad teeth men will be properly groomed and ladies will usually have their hair professionally washed and colored you're not gonna see the roots showing with these ladies or god forbid they have the eyebrows black and their hair is blonde speaking of eyebrows it's also one of the big giveaways if they're groomed to look natural not the tattooed type or those skinny worm-like lines that they draw on their forehead because they can afford it they fix minor imperfections on their skin they look healthy and radiant also a good thing to mention they have perfect simple subtle fingernails not those Christmas tree decorations that some women's sport on their fingers number two they spend money to save time not time to save money a big tell comes from the way they spend money in relation to time it's often that you'll see some people drive 30 minutes to the other side of the city to save $5 on gas or groceries taking a helicopter from the airport to the city or a private jet to a certain event can definitely be a pretty obvious sign someone's rich but this type of thinking transpires into everyday actions the biggest difference between a rich person and a poor person is how they use their time number 3 clothes and shoes are not brand names they're bespoke you're probably thinking rich people are all over the Gucci and the weasel but you'd be wrong they aren't this is one of the reasons why these two brands are focusing their efforts on younger demographics that are trying to look rich out of the big brands Hermes is probably the only one who maintained their appeal to the true rich this might come as counterintuitive to some of you but in the high net-worth circles there is a saying money talks wealth whispers they care about the lifetime value of the purchase about the quality of the materials used and they go for timeless designs almost everyone who's really rich has a personal tailor who makes adjustments or creates their clothes in the case of both sexes but more predominantly women the quality of the shoe is a big subtle hint as to how much someone's worth number four they never look at price tags this might sound obvious but there's a subtlety to it that comes from the way they think about spending money when rich people go to a restaurant they rarely look at the menu at all they usually ask the waiter what the special is today or what the chef recommends and they'll order that they order the food they're craving instead of going somewhere more budget-friendly through our interactions with really rich folks we've learned a rule some of them use when buying anything if you have to think about whether you can afford it or not you probably can't afford it you see when you're in the supermarket and pick up tic tacs or gum at the checkout line you never take the time to think about if you can afford it or not you just buy it and to them this applies to everything else in life be so rich you can look at cars or buildings the same way you look at gum number five they value privacy over Fame this is another massively counterintuitive approach because most rich people you know of have become rich in the process of becoming famous but these people make up less than 3% of the rich class everybody else is quietly and privately going about their business they're secluded because attention comes with a lot of drawbacks you become a target your family becomes a target people want things from you here's how we want you to think about it the more famous you are the less you own yourself at some point you belong to the Machine to the fans to the system which ironically is the exact opposite of what money should do for you which is to buy your freedom this is why you see incredibly successful people miserable in their real life Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade are both tragic examples of this on the other side of the coin there's also the interest of buying security the thing about privacy costs is they become apparent only after they're paid there's an increase in the number of panic rooms popping up with rich folks privacy is increasingly seen not as a right but as a luxury good even when traveling we always use a VPN and virtual credit cards

you're anonymizing your internet activity it's a no-brainer number six they're private about their finances really wealthy people rarely show off their finances or boast about how much money they have making a big deal about being rich is a sign someone is looking for validation while true rich people already have it they might even use phrases like I don't care about that stuff the family lawyer handles that when it comes to rich people and rich families they usually have a financial advisor on board which makes sure the family is doing well they take care of their portfolio and manage their assets for them privacy is the biggest luxury of our generation number seven the color and weight of your credit card the average person will never know this but hotels resorts restaurants and any type of high-end service establishment will most certainly judge a book by the cover and in this case you're the book and the color and weight of your credit card is the cover banks give out cards of different weights and colors according to how profile a client you are the higher end ones are usually metal and sport either black gold or platinum colors the establishment will also silently judge you based on what you order but that's a different video for another time as a pro tip the cheapest metal credit cards you can get your hands on are revolute and Amazon Prime visa mr. Emil Anton the founder of Alex comm is using the black metal revolute when traveling so you might want to check it out number eight they have social greys have you ever seen people that fit perfectly into any social setting they look like they're floating they talk to everybody they ask questions not always polite and people love being around them this is because social skills are incredibly important when it comes to climbing and maintaining your position in the social hierarchy there are some places where you can't go alone and the rich society knows to stick together your network is your net worth this is very different from the education and middle-class individual scat you rarely see lower income families focus on making networking a priority because they never really see the value in it number nine they never complain about money a subtle sign that someone is well-off financially is the fact they never really complain about money in public you'll never hear them talk about bills or unforeseen expenses or how they're going to make rent this month once again it's one of the things you learn growing up in a wealthy family where the image of financial stability maintains their social position but there's more to it than just saving face people who complain about money are usually bad with it you've probably even seen your friends do this they complain about not having enough money but never take the opportunities to work a bit more in order to keep themselves afloat even the money they do have they spend it quickly on the most superficial things don't be the girl with a $1,000 purse and no cash inside of it or the guy with a $500 tattoo who has to borrow money for gaps and is speaking of bags the size of the bag is usually in reverse proportion to someone's wealth or importance rich people don't need to carry everything with them at all times number 10 they value experiences over things they can always buy more stuff they have the money that's why they're interested in something different they engage with other people prefer to eat home-cooked meals over fancy restaurants they love traveling to new places and trying new things any Luxor's take a moment to think about yourself what would make you happier right now spending four days on the other side of the world in a remote village or a brand-new 20/20 laptop be honest with yourself it's the laptop isn't it and for the majority of the population it's a fair choice the four days would soon be over but she'd used that laptop for the next couple of years this is one of the biggest distinctions between people who are wealthy and everyone else they can afford to indulge in a passing moment because buying a laptop is a lot easier than figuring out how to take six days off with flights they are also taught to value experiences and things all of the signs we listed earlier are the result of education we made a video called 15 lessons rich people teach their children which you can open up by clicking in the top right corner right now number 11 they have proper accessories for the occasion accessories are a big sign someone knows what they're doing it's one of those subtle luxuries that round up a picture simple examples are the proper attire for any sporting activity like the right shorts for tennis proper gym clothes proper running shoes and so on if you're going to the beach the towel the bag the shorts the loafers they're all part of the picture there are different types of pants different types of shirts t-shirts and more that go for particular settings rich people usually fit the setting perfectly at all times number 12 they understand financial and legal lingo they know this because they've had a crash course on everything through personal experiences they've had to sit down with a lawyer before they explained what a trust is what happens with their finances if their parents die they understand how the family business is run what the basic rules of finances are and so on they basically speak money a language the general population doesn't it definitely comes in handy when you're speaking to bankers or when your lawyer is giving you sound advice because most people never bother to learn the lingo they end up in stupid situations where they don't understand what they're actually signing from how to read a profit and loss statement to terms like operating cash flow the difference between a trust fund and a hedge fund between current liabilities versus non current liabilities between bonds and stocks and so on if you want to make money you better start speaking the language number thirteen they have the family crest embroidered or embossed on their things this is one of the more subtle things that almost everybody else will miss but it's pretty common with the rich especially those who come from old money or royal families the entry-level status symbol is the monogrammed shirt and slowly moves up to having custom tailored bespoke pieces you'll see Prince Charles sporting the signet ring the Emir's of Saudi Arabia have the crust on garments usually in subtle places you'll find their initials even on their bed sheets and their pillows these subtle reminders are key that they need to behave in a certain way number 14 they speak a language that's not in their family background while most of the bilingual part of the population is bilingual because they have to be usually they learn the heritage language and English for daily use in this international climate the rich usually go beyond that it's pretty common to learn distinct languages that might serve as negotiating tools in the future you'd be surprised how many kids are picking up Chinese or Arabic as their third language these days the parents see it as an investment in their child's future 40 years ago it was German or Russian trends do change with the markets the most valuable languages to learn right now are English Chinese and Spanish while some people are suggesting Hindi is the fourth option India has been quick to embrace English as their business language so you should be fine but depending on which industry you're developing you might be interested in learning both the language of your supplier and that of your customer number 15 they work not because they have to but because they have nothing else to do maybe we should rephrase that basically they're doing it for the experience they're getting rich people have no problems with unpaid internships as long as they're within the right company because money is not an issue parents encourage them to build connections and because of their family name they're not treated like trash that said they're not taken seriously either it's usually a bunch of fluff work and supporting the people who are actually doing what needs to be done this is why most of them are frustrated and have a massive urge to prove themselves but life isn't a Gossip Girl episode and it usually doesn't work out the way they expect it to they start superficial businesses like clothing lines jewelry lines event planning flower arrangements and so on however despite their connections these businesses usually fail pretty quickly because they lack the drive and the hunger to keep pushing day in and day instead what they end up doing as following in their parents footsteps joining part of the company under the tutelage of that parent being groomed to take over the business when the time comes and a Luxor's that's a wrap on our list we're super curious to know if you had any encounters with people
