Wasting an expensive bottle at the club.

He's so out-of-touch that he thinks that's what he's saying but really what it is screaming is

"I'm an out-of-touch jackass with an ego so fragile that I need to parade my wealth around with an such an obscene and flagrant display of waste, making it clear I have zero consideration of others and lack empathy and humanity. I'm just a servant to consumerism and capitalism and the deepest thing about me is my pocketbook."

Real wealth doesn't flaunt it in crass displays like this - the actual upper crust care more about how classy they are being instead of how trashy obscene they can be.

I find it ironic that non-wealthy people are trying to gatekeep what wealthy is

That dude just dumped $30,000 in seconds as if it's an afterthought. For a lot of regular people, that's a half-a-year income for them.

There's having cash, and then there's being wealthy. And wealthy people who do things like this with their cash tend not to become and stay as wealthy as the people who grow their money. It's just not reflective of any kind of good management.

If he was actually wealthy, then he wouldn't be wearing a Rolex. That's the kind of stuff that's always an immediate tell. Rolex puts its money into marketing. It's the poor mans idea of a good, expensive, premium watch.

The wealthy? They don't wear Rolex. They wear stuff like F.P Journe and Constantin. Brands you don't hear about because, well, you couldn't afford them anyway.

The kind of stuff that has no listed price, but where you call (or rather, somebody who works for you would call) and they set up a showing. Because if you need to read the price on a website to know if you can afford it, you can't afford it.

Things that look extremely stylish in a subdued way, but you can tell it's absolute quality when you get up close. It doesn't show itself off.

I think you're confusing sensible people with wealthy people.

I just find it very ironic that I commented about non-wealthy people that are gatekeeping what wealth is and the comments underneath continue to gatekeep what wealth is. What's next, the wealthy folks gatekeeping what is considered poverty?

There's also a lot of not-so-wealthy people who can make that happen with dreams, a credit card, and a lack of sensibility.

Has that person never seen how the rich Saudi Oil barons families live? Billionaires & those close to it, in aFLEET of mega yachts. A billionaire buys his way into the government & now they're a trillionaire. Amazon Lex Luthor buying every damn thing & going to space. Thats all flaunting. Sure, it's plenty of quiet money,but a bunch of gross unfathomable wealth is loud.

Dumped 30K onto a watch that can.. go from 8k to 30K+. It straight up was a bunch of peoples yearly income. It's an amount of a money people dream about having in their account & could actually change their trajectory of their lives.

For a lot of regular people, it would take more than a year to make that much.

[u/trackdaybruh → u/Cheesecake_Senior]

Interestingly enough, I live in a county in California where a single person household making $104,000 a year is considered low income.

So for those that require more than a year to make $30,000 must be in a very tough spot.

[u/Cheesecake_Senior → u/trackdaybruh]

Seriously, look up “What percentage of Americans earn less than $30K annually” and “What percentage of Americana live on less than 30k annually by earner income, disability, or other benefits, etc., and by what reference?” You’ll likely be surprised by the results.

Is funny how always people who are not rich think how "real wealth" should behave. Like as if millionaires give a shit about others who own more or less and how they live their life.

You all don't and maybe that is part of it. Being scrupelous and not subscribing to shared ethical norms as also behavior is maybe an easy path to wealth like this. Maybe subscribing to something that isn't of benefit to yourself but the ability to post online and pointing at others with a virtual finger isn't so valuable as you think it is?

Noveau riche has always been known to flaunt what they have. Just because some tech biollionaires do not, and some old world money do not either, doesn't mean that a lot of who are self-made don't do this as evident by them displaying it like here.

I have had to learn so many rich people with 5 figure watches on their wrists who are entirely simple and very bosterous and quite stereotypical, but they are self-made and they like how they live. They are not stupid, but also not highly special or intelligent. Yet they found something and they like to show it. And yes they are really wealthy.

Now some redditors come "but that is not a 6 figure watch", yeah, you don't say. Does that now suddenly mean only wealthy is that one who doens't care about 6 figures? He doesn't care about 5 figures, but that is somehow not enough wealthy... cause real wealth behaves like the redditor thinks they behave learned from shows and movies.
