      All good lies have bits of truth in them. All of these very public rich people have PR firms behind them designing their image.

  I wish people would stop spouting this nonsense. In my country, rich people are very flashy, whether they are “old money” or “new money.” Other countries may be different. Not every rich person is exactly the same (though being rich is unethical, so they are all the same in that regard).
