Comment on How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not?

People generally hang out with other people of their general socioeconomic class, so it doesn’t take much guesswork. Usually, they just have nothing in common with poorer people (not the literal poors, upper middle class is poor to them), don’t go to the same places that poorer people go to, and unfortunately, poorer people generally tend to be less attractive than rich people due to lack of access to cosmetic care. The cosmetic care includes skincare, dental work, and I’ve even seen growth hormones as soon as elementary school.
One last point, multimillionaire and billionaire circles are extremely small because, as you can imagine, there’s not that many of them! They tend to know way too much about each other, so if you do happen to be poorer and run in their circles, they’ll either know and/or you’re smart enough to be playing their game.

Sorry, but why is every single rich old person I see on TV literally looks like goul. .

Maybe old people just look like that? I went to a rich kid college and they were certainly more attractive on average. Everyone’s teeth were white and straight, people’s skin and hair were beautifully maintained, clothing (including sweats) were well fitting and flattering. Glasses were flattering. No one was making due with anything, they just had whatever they needed.
