The world already has plenty of genuine rich people that stink up the air with their gross displays of delusional entitlement. The last thing that we need tossed into the mix is a bunch of other people that are possessed by such haunting levels of insecurity that they end up insisting on pretending to be rich. Many of us have just enough awareness to be able to sniff out someone who is clearly putting on a front. Maybe these people's stories about their own experiences with encountering fake rich people will ring some bells.

On the weekends, he will drive by the bar several times before his shift as people are lined up outside revving his engine while at the stoplight. His new thing is pulling onto the sidewalk in front of the bar, parking it, getting out, saying hi to everyone he works with, waiting for people to walk by the car so he can let them know its his, and then leav

Would flash a wad of money while in the store and make it VERY specific that he wants $10 on "THAT GREEN CADILLAC RIGHT THERE!" Co-worker told me he does it with his SSI check. G Reply 4 6.8k ...

    Gesture - ur_boy_skinny_penis · 19h Honestly, anyone that feels the need to openly display how "much" money they have. By flexing designer clothes, talking about their income, showing off their car, etc. It just screams insecurity. Aside from maybe a few outliers, the only people who do this are poor or kids spending their parent's money. G Reply 4 1.1k 3 ...

    Font - Nirosat · 14h It's generally good advice if you have a lot of money to keep your wealth secret or at least ambiguous else people try to take advantage of you. Most wealthy people follow that rule, or they learn it pretty quickly. So anyone trying to show wealth is either new to it or showing more than they have. G Reply 4 738 3 + ...
