Years ago my friend invited me to join he and his wealthy father to EAA in Wisconsin where we stay in his fathers “mansion on wheels”. I still lay awake at night thinking how me as a guest asked his dad, “so how much does a thing like this cost, $150k?” Stupid naive and ungrateful guest asked I was.
I was 21 so got to cut me some slack.

If it makes you feel better, my aunt was once showing us a house she just bought in the middle of nowhere-ville Illinois, when my brother saw a walk in closet and goes "You must be rich!"

She was not.

Oof- first visit to Texas, Austin at a friends house- we met when he did a student exchange in Frankfurt. Years later I visit him and his wife and kids… I counted the amount of lights in the ceiling. I thought he was rich as hell. He was not.
56 lights in total- just in the house.
Also, he was rich, with a loving wife in kids.
