[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you not know early on? After seeing his home or family home, after hearing about travels or seeing a car, or going to fancy restaurants... even if he doesn't live in an over the top way, you certainly know he's not living with roommates on the wrong side of town and shows some signs of being comfortable.[/quote]

You're assuming wealthy people always live lavishly, quite the opposite if you're smart. Its a misconception that the rich always have fancy cars, eat at fancy restaurants, ect. It's more prevalent mentality here in DC.[/quote]

IMO this is very true. It wasn't until I visited my boyfriend's family in their home country (my husband is an immigrant) that I realized he might have some serious old money from the old country.  He's had the same friends since he was in grade school, all of them are worth more than I can imagine. I think my DH was very hesitant to ever expose his wealth early in our relationship because I imagine it is hard to trust people's intensions when you are wealthy.

I have a good friend who is worth over $20 billion, but you would never, ever know based on what car they drive, or their house, or their clothes. They aren't wearing Old Navy, but they aren't flashing labels either, they aren't showy at all. [/quote]
