Redditor u/nameuser254 recently asked the people of Reddit, "What shows you that a person is rich at first glance?" I'm still definitely not rich, that's for sure:

1."Wealthy people worry about time — the only resource and commodity that doesn't replenish."

3."My in-laws are very wealthy, and they wear normal people clothes. But, most definitely it’s the quality of their house they live in and what kind of cars they drive for the immediate notice."

4."They are rested and relaxed and speak of recreational activities."

5."A rich kid in grad school once saw me eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and asked if I needed to eat a lot of sugar for medical reasons. MFer couldn’t imagine eating PB&J…"

9."Back in my college days, we had a friend who came from a pretty wealthy family — but you couldn't tell, because he lived in the dorms like everyone else. Any time someone suggested we go to a restaurant or to a game or show, he never asked about how much it cost or said he'd have to check his bank account like other people would say. Then, one day, he casually mentioned his father was going to bring him back to campus in their helicopter."

11."The fleet of cars they own that gets replaced with a new fleet of cars every one or two years."

And finally...

18."The actual answer here is you simply can’t. I've met a few billionaires here in Hong Kong, and if I didn’t know beforehand who I was meeting, I'd just assume I saw some retired old dude at a park reading a newspaper. On the other hand, I know dudes where they are living from paycheck to paycheck and try to act rich by using all their income to buy branded everything — cars, clothes, watches."
