3. “My in-laws are very rich, and they dress like normal people. But, most certainly it depends on the quality of the house they live in and what kind of cars they drive. Immediate attention is given.”

4. “They are relaxed and relaxed and talk about recreational activities.”

9. “During my college days, we had a friend who was from a fairly rich family – but you couldn’t tell, because he lived in a hostel like everyone else. Whenever someone suggested we go to some restaurant or go to a game or show, he never asked how much it cost or said he had to check his bank account like other people do. Then, one day, he casually mentioned that his father “We were going to bring him back to the compound in our helicopter.”

And finally…
18.”The real answer is that you can’t. I’ve met a few billionaires here in Hong Kong, and if I didn’t know in advance who I was meeting, I would assume I met some retired old man. I have seen people reading newspapers in a park. On the other hand, I know people where they are living paycheck to paycheck and using all their income to buy branded everything – cars, clothes, watches – and are rich. Let’s try to become.
