Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether someone comes from money or not.
Do you want to find out if a person in your life is actually from a wealthy background?
Here are 14 subtle signs that someone comes from a rich family:
1) Their clothes have no logos but are very well-tailored and high quality
Clothes that have no logos but are obviously well-fitted are a definite sign that the person comes from a wealthy family.
If you ask them where they got their clothes, they will likely say something vague like “I bought it” or “I found it at a small store somewhere”.
They don’t feel the need to tell you who designed the outfit because it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that it’s in style and looks amazing.
Expensive clothes set themselves apart by the way they fit. The quality is obviously very high.
2) They have suspicious amounts of free time to spend on their hobbies
If someone has a lot of free time to spend on their favorite hobbies, they might come from a wealthy family.
The idea is that people who come from money typically don’t need to work so they have the free time to invest in their hobbies.
Oftentimes, their trust funds allow them to live a life full of passions and hobbies instead of slaving away at a 9 to 5.
They take the time to invest in their hobbies because they know that it will be fun and enjoyable.
So, if someone has a huge amount of time to invest in their hobbies, they are probably from a wealthy background.
On that note:
3) They know their purpose
Sometimes you can spot a person from a wealthy family because they have a purpose in life.
Due to their free time, they have more possibilities to figure out their purpose.
What would you say if I asked you what your purpose is right now?
A month ago I would’ve closed my eyes and sighed. I had no idea.
The problem is that there are far too many fake gurus out there ready to sell you on unrealistic and ineffective solutions.
They told me to meditate, radiate “positive vibrations” and visualize the life of my dreams. They said I’d find the romantic partner I’d always wanted and that prosperity and peace would flow.
It sounded good, but it backfired.
Here’s the crazy thing:
Visualization and positive vibes won’t bring you closer to your dreams, no matter how rich you are, and they can actually drag you backward into time-wasting, idle fantasy, and frustration.
But it’s hard to find your purpose when you’re being hit with so many Instagram influencers and studio gurus who want to convince you that you’re just being negative, no matter how much money you have.
You can end up trying so hard and not finding the answers you need that your life and dreams begin to feel hopeless.
You may end up further back than where you started, miserable, alone, and angry.
The fact is:
Before you can experience a real change, you need to really know your purpose.
I learned about the power of purpose from watching Ideapod co-founder Justin Brown’s video on the hidden trap of improving yourself.
Justin used to be addicted to the self-help industry and New Age gurus just like me. They sold him on visualization and positive thinking. It left him lost and confused.
That’s why he traveled to Brazil to meet the renowned shaman Rudá Iandê, who taught him a life-changing new way to find your purpose and use it to transform your life and everything around you.
After watching the video, I discovered my purpose in life and it’s no exaggeration to say it was a turning point in my life.
I can honestly say that this new way of finding success by finding your purpose actually helped me to not put as much importance on money anymore.
4) They pay the bill without making a scene
The first sign that someone is from a wealthy family is that they always pay the bill without making a big deal out of it.
It’s not a big deal to them and they don’t complain about it.
You can tell someone is only pretending to be rich when they make a scene of paying the bill.
People from rich families have nothing to prove. They don’t need to act like they’re from money.
5) They are extremely spontaneous and book a vacation on the spot
When you’re extremely spontaneous, it shows that you have no worries or lots of money.
If a person books a vacation on the spot, this could mean they can afford to be spontaneous.
It could also show that they don’t care about planning ahead and are just doing what feels good in the moment.
Usually, only people from a rich background can afford to be this spontaneous.
6) They usually have a lot of money to throw around and aren’t frugal
People from rich families don’t care about saving money.
This is a definite sign that they are from a wealthy background.
They often spend money on the spur of the moment but don’t regret it afterward.
People who come from wealthy families tend to be very generous with their money and aren’t frugal or stingy.
However, they aren’t flashy with their money, they spend it freely without letting everyone know about it.
7) They don’t know prices of food or electricity
If someone has never had to worry about how much things cost, they’re probably from a wealthy family.
One of the easiest ways to tell is if they don’t know the prices of food items or electricity.
They usually don’t know how much something costs.
So, if you talk to someone and you can tell that they have zero ideas about the current prices of everyday goods, there is a good chance they come from money.
This brings me to my next point:
8) They don’t check the prices on the menu before ordering
One of the most subtle signs someone is from a wealthy family is that they don’t check the prices on the menu before ordering.
It might sound odd, but it’s true.
Someone who comes from a wealthy background would be accustomed to being served anything and everything at any time, even if it means paying an extra dollar for an appetizer or two.
Usually, people who worry about money would never order something without double-checking the prices.
When someone from a wealthy family orders something without checking the price, it shows that they are accustomed to getting anything they want without worrying.
9) They have suspicious amounts of free time to spend on their hobbies
If someone has a lot of free time to spend on their favorite hobbies, they might come from a wealthy family.
The idea is that people who come from money typically don’t need to work so they have the free time to invest in their hobbies.
Oftentimes, their trust funds allow them to live a life full of passions and hobbies instead of slaving away at a 9 to 5.
They take the time to invest in their hobbies because they know that it will be fun and enjoyable.
So, if someone has a huge amount of time to invest in their hobbies, they are probably from a wealthy background.
10) They casually use really nice plates and cutlery
Most wealthy people don’t use the same dishes and silverware every day, but they’re more likely to always have high-quality dishes on hand.
You will notice someone is from money when their cutlery and plates are extremely nice.
Think about it: most normal people have ordinary dishes and perhaps a nice set for special occasions.
People from rich families have extra nice plates for every day.
11) They don’t bother with refunds because it’s too much work
A rich person would know that sending back a product or accepting a return of a product is too much work.
So, if they don’t like something, they’ll just throw it out or donate it somewhere.
This is why you see wealthy people throwing out products or donating them to charity.
They would never bother with returns, refunds, and exchanges because it’s too much work.
It’s just not worth it to them.
12) Not caring about laws because they can afford the fines
When a person comes from a rich family, they will be more careless when it comes to laws because they can afford to pay the fines.
For example, they might park their car in a tow area because they know that the fine won’t be an issue for them.
At this point of carelessness, you really know that someone has money.
When someone comes from a wealthy background, they don’t suffer from any bad consequences for breaking laws.
They don’t have to worry about the fine for breaking laws because of their wealth.
They have an abundance of money and so they can afford to pay the fines without even thinking about it.
13) They own a second house or boat
If a person has a second home or boat, it’s a definite sign that they come from money.
The cost of these items exceeds the budget of a middle-class family.
That person must be rich to have the money for these items.
A person from a wealthy background would be able to buy a second home or boat because they have extra money.
14) They are extremely knowledgable about wine
Maybe you’ve noticed it before, but people who come from wealthy families are often extremely knowledgeable about wine and luxury goods.
Think about it: they grew up in a household where this was an important topic, so now they know exactly what to look out for and where to find real quality.
Some other topics they might know a lot about are:
- golf
- luxury food
- real estate
- etc.
Look for the details
As opposed to only mildly rich people, the people who come from truly wealthy families are not as easy to spot.
They don’t like to flash their money, so you will have to look out for the details.
The well-tailored clothes, the comments, the gestures, that’s where you can spot a person from a truly wealthy background.
