I'll play.
Clear, articulate speech with an expansive vocabulary.
Awareness of social niceties and etiquette.
A propensity to be reserved and appropriately thoughtful, especially in conversation.
Quietly wealthy but outwardly financially conservative.
Humble, quiet financial (or board) support of carefully-considered charities.
Nothing says new money than obvious, cloying social climbing and desperate attempts to display wealth and perceived status.

Op, have you heard? This isn't the UK -- Americans don't have nobility or strict class designations. Just do you and let the other fools worry about their lives.

Capitalizing the first letter of each sentence is tantamount to upperclass in my opinion.

millions in the bank, not striving by wearing deisgner clothes/driving luxury cars. this is what i think of, anyway.
i don't think of it as all about HHI or assets. there is an element of attitude involved. i wouldn't think of someone who recently started making $500k+ a year and lives in a mcmansion, drives a humvee, and blows $$$ on vacations to vegas with "his boys" to be upper class.

How would you define the term "upper class"? Is it just about HHI/net worth or is there more to it than that?
