There are about 2700 billionaires in the world. There are probably about 10,000 centimillionaires in the U.S. alone.
Especially if you include family members, it’s not just a few dozen.
Comment on How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not?

If we’re not talking about the super rich, because there is only a few dozen of them, and they have their own parallel universe… it’s usually mannerisms, language clues (in articulation and content), but of course also signals like expensive clothing and accessories. Also the places where they meet. This opens the door for all kinds of grifters who emulate behaviour and style to get into those circles. Jeffrey Epstein is an (in)famous example for this.

My grandma was very wealthy. She wore tweeds to death. If she’d still been alive she’d have looked down on people showing off their wealth with clothing and accessories.
