Reading "The Economist"? Talking to vendors at organic farmer's market? Breastfeeding? (Not that there's anything wrong with that). All of these signal middle class more than anything else.
The rich people I know display the following marks of belonging:
1) the ability to make a call and solve any petty problem they have (forgot to take a prescription to the pharmacy? Make a call, and the medicine will be released anyway, with compliments).
2) being relaxed and serene like a Buddhist monk
3) displaying levels of trust impossible to the less rich people. Like "you know Bitcoin and how it works, right? Could you buy some for me? Here's $30,000". I barely knew the guy!
