Differs based on location. In Western Europe, the truth is that truly rich people do not care about looking like poor people. The moneyed class are far more likely to look poor to the average person. It is the moderately wealthy who do not want to look like poor people, thus strongly broadcasting they are only moderately wealthy. Very expensive restaurant / retailer / auction room staff have to be taught this. What most people associate with super high wealth (brands, flashy jewellery, watches ), are not good signals of large wealth (high multi-millions). Hell, walk around the richest parts of London. The Saudis, apart from their gold plated Bugattis, spend hundreds of thousands in Harrods in Adidas tracksuits.
