Lower class people will display pictures in the entryway/foyer of the home
Middle class people will display pictures in the living/"public" areas of the home
Upper class people will display pictures in the "private" areas of the home, such as in the bedroom, the hallways leading to bedrooms, or in photo albums, and decorate the public areas with what is traditionally considered artwork
That being said, there are many people who are very wealthy who hire the services of a custom portrait photographer. The work that the photographers produce is high quality, beautiful, and truly art, and these photographs are displayed in public living areas.

Holy shit! I better go replace that picture of my kinfolk in the entryway with my ltd. edition black velvet Elvis portrait. Thanks for the tip!
