In the modern world, I know a very rich family. Let's say they have a net worth of €10 million, and no one would ever guess it because they drive around in Toyotas, buy secondhand clothes, and don't display any signs of status.
In short, they seem like ordinary people.
I know another family, however, who has a net worth of €1 million, but who runs a real estate company, owns a restaurant, owns a regional soccer team, and are well-known locally.
They drive good cars, not luxury ones, but Audis and BMWs, and they dress well, but not designer clothes.
They seem 100 times richer than the first ones, even in their mannerisms, how they express themselves, and what they do.
Having said that, I would like to say that there are some elements, for example, owning a real estate company, owning a sports club, that, especially at the local level, give you celebrity status.
What are these other elements?
For example, owning a private university, or something else, I don't know.
A bit like top football teams that have these directors who are obviously first directors of their own companies, entrepreneurs, and then they have the football team that calcifies their major status.
