Wealthy Habits and Luxury Items
In any society, there are different segments of the population. People can be divided according to many factors, but one of the most striking factors is the level of wealth. Wealthy people can literally be seen from afar, and their lifestyles are vastly different. The habits and luxuries of wealthy people are striking, and even arouse undisguised envy in some. This is not the best feeling, but you can take an example from rich people, imitate them and equal them, especially if you like this way of life.
Who is a rich man
Let us, before we open the veil of the secrets of the life of rich people, consider who a rich person is. In the usual sense of this term, a rich person is a person who has a lot of material values... Wealth can be not only material, but also spiritual or family. In this article, we look at the habits of people who are financially wealthy.
Wealthy people are people who are well above average. If in your area average salary 35,000 rubles a month, then a truly rich person either already has a significant amount, or receives at least 7-10 times more than the average. Material wealth is not only incoming money, but also existing ones.
Behind the back of a rich person there is a sufficient amount of material values that can fully support his life. This includes real estate objects, antiques and collectibles, precious metals, products, etc. A “millionaire” can also be an ordinary poor person, for example, who lives in Moscow in an apartment worth 7-10 million.
But such a person cannot be called rich, even taking into account the cost of his home. A rich person possesses many material values, and in this case an expensive apartment is the only thing that a “millionaire” has behind his soul.
How to identify a rich person
There are many myths around rich people. The most important myth is that rich people don't work. If it were so, then it is unlikely that they would become rich if they did not get an inheritance or winning the lottery.
Rich people don't just work, they often work even harder and harder than everyone else. Surveys have shown that wealthy people in America work on average 50-55 hours a week, while the middle class only work 40-45 hours.
Rich people can be colossally busy, but they are free to use their own time. The reason for their vacations 3-4 times a year and numerous foreign travels is not only money, but also their approach to life.
They are busy not because they work for food / shelter, they are busy for another reason - they like their business, and it brings them a colossal income. Therefore, they can afford to vacation in Cyprus, the Philippines or luxury ski resorts in the Alps.
You are unlikely to be able to find out the exact work schedule of a person, so you should not be guided by his employment. But you can define a rich person by his lifestyle. There are exceptions, such as, for example, the founder of the IKEA network - Ingvar Kamprad.
He is a very wealthy man, but he leads an ascetic lifestyle and still drives a Volvo 240, released in 1993. But if we do not take into account the rare exceptions, then rich people are always betrayed by their way of life.
The way of life is manifested both in small things and in global things. You can figure out a rich person even just by his suit or watch. An expensive car is a controversial indicator. You need to pay attention to the details.
A car, even an expensive one, can be borrowed as a necessary thing and clearly emphasizing the status. But few people will borrow 10-20 thousand dollars to buy a watch or a good suit. However, there are some brands among cars that are characteristic only of truly wealthy people:
- Porsche;
- Bentley;
- Ferrari;
- Maybach;
Cars of brands Mercedes, BMW, Land Rover, etc. can belong to both wealthy people and people with sufficient income. Rich people are also distinguished by expensive vintage cars. Some rich people are fond of collecting antiques, including rare cars.
Ideal if you can watch the person for a while or watch their life story. Where a person goes to eat, where he gets his hair cut and where he rests - all this betrays rich people, even those who hide their wealth. Pay attention to where the person is getting their hair cut. The level of the salon and prices characterizes a person, as well as the regularity of visiting such places.
The same can be said about food. This includes not only expensive restaurants, but also proper nutrition which includes a lot of fish, meat and fresh vegetables / fruits even in winter.
A person's place of residence is also a controversial indicator. As a rule, expensive houses or apartments are not just that expensive, but because of their high quality or excellent location. Such things can also be bought by just wealthy people, because this is a global issue of comfort. But there is also a certain sign where a person lives. Pay attention to the details of the apartment or house, as well as the materials and equipment used.
Pets bring joy not only to ordinary people, but also to the rich. There are very expensive breeds of dogs or cats, but rich people also choose classic breeds. The difference is not so much in breeds as in approach.
Rich people pay a lot on their animals more money... A pet is always well-groomed, and a personal doctor can be responsible for its health. Due to the catastrophic lack of time, animals are often taken care of not by the person himself, but by his family or specially hired people.
How rich people dress
Many rich people wear branded clothes. Among the brands you can find both expensive, but very common and relatively “affordable” - Lacoste, and really expensive clothes. If you don't know much about brands, then pay attention to the freshness of the clothes. Wealthy people tend to update their wardrobe frequently and rarely wear second-hand clothes.
Among the favorite brands of wealthy people:
- Hermes;
- Ralph Lauren;
- Versace;
- Burberry;
- Armani;
For a common man in the street, these clothes may look just stylish, but rich people appreciate them for their high quality. All of these are factory clothes, but rich people often resort to custom-made clothes. This is especially true for men's suits and women's evening dresses.
Wealthy people simply cannot be content with serial clothes and prefer clothes that are tailored exactly to their figure. Some wealthy people even have a personal tailor on staff who tweaks their clothes from time to time.
Among the rich, there are also supporters of the casual style, who buy T-shirts and sweaters for up to 30 euros apiece. For example, the creator social network FaceBook - Mark Zuckerberg, wears some pretty cheap T-shirts with regular pants. Another equally famous billionaire, Steve Jobs, paid absolutely no attention to either appearance or brands, so his appearance everyone remembered the cheap black turtlenecks.
Accessories
It is much easier to identify a rich person by accessories than by his clothes. The two most important accessories that will tell you everything about a person are a phone and a watch. This applies to both sexes. Rich people prefer two brands of phones: Apple and BlackBerry.
There are status phones, for example, Vertu, but this is for true connoisseurs. Rich people prefer to use the latest models of devices, but they do it not in a tribute to fashion, but because of their functionality and convenience.
To figure out a rich person by the hour, you need to understand them. A watch for a rich person is not only a decoration on the wrist, even if its owner is a woman, but also a working tool. Rich people value their time more than anyone else and know its value. The watch should not only be beautiful, but also accurate and reliable.
One of the most expensive watches in the world, the 201-carat Chopard, is worth over 25 million. Again, this is a connoisseur accessory and extreme. Rich people know how to count their money, and most often a watch on their wrist costs between 10-60 thousand euros. Agree for common man this amount is astronomical, but for a rich person it is average price for hours. Watches of the following popular brands fall into this price category:
- Patek Philippe;
- Breguet;
- Frank Muller;
- Audemars Piguet;
- Jaeger-LeCoultre;
Patek Philippe watches are in high demand among wealthy people in Russia. For example, Alisher Usmanov has such a watch - model Perpetual Calendar 5140, and Vagit Alekperov - model Chronograph 5170. Leonid Mikhelson wears a model Classique Grande Reverso by Jaeger-LeCoultre. The most popular Breguet model is the Marine Chronograph, owned by several millionaires at once. All watches are distinguished by their extraordinary beauty, high-quality workmanship and reliable movement.
Expensive watches have always been the subject of copying. You need to be able to distinguish the copy from the original in order to get an idea of the person. A non-professional can also distinguish a cheap copy, but some copies of expensive watches can also be "expensive" and cost 1-2 thousand euros. Therefore, the watch is best viewed in conjunction with other indicators of a rich person.
Hobbies
A person's hobbies can also betray their income level. Golf and other millionaire games are a stereotype. Wealthy people tend to be very busy and therefore have a hard time finding time to play. But they may have a hobby that they spend a lot of money on.
On the example of Oleg Tinkov (Russia) or Andrey Onistrat (Ukraine), we see that rich people take care of their health. We can say that health is a hobby of rich people. If you see that a person closely monitors his health and spends a lot of money and time on it, then remember that this is one of the signs of rich people.
The rich are said to have their quirks. One such quirk is collecting. If a person is fond of collecting something, not necessarily very expensive, for example, coins or knives, then there is a chance that you have a rich person in front of you. Some wealthy people don't just get into collecting, they put their money into it. Investing in antiques and art is very common among the wealthy.
The habits and luxuries of rich people betray even the secretive rich. Hiding wealth in Russia and throughout the world is a very common habit. There are exceptions - people who literally "shout" about their wealth. For example, people who use real gold to decorate their phones or cars. And the rest of the rich people are set apart from the crowd by their lifestyle.

According to statistics, the name Ivan is one of the most common male names in Russia. It would seem that among the richest people in the country there should be many people bearing this name. However, this is not at all the case. Only 1% of Russian billionaires are called Ivans.

Californian scientists have established a relationship between a child's name and family income. Stephen Levitt writes about it in detail in the book "Freakonomics". It turned out that families with low income they usually choose fashion names (for example, show business stars) or the names of rich people. Wealthy parents try to avoid names that are too popular and tend to call their children rare names (often biblical).
The most common names rich Americans give to girls at birth are Alexandra, Lauren, Catherine, Madison, and Rachel. The boys are most commonly referred to as Benjamin, Samuel, Jonathan, Alexander and Andrew. It turns out that the popular names of rich people in Russia and abroad in many cases coincide.
However, name alone cannot bring wealth. As practice shows, the size of income is no less influenced by the environment in which children grow up, upbringing, education and dozens of other factors.
