Actually not really, I mean if you're ugly and rich you're just ugly with money. You may get benefits just because you've money. But if you don't show off then there's no way to influence your "perception of beauty" Beauty has more to do with culture (what do we consider good looking and what not) but there's also an objective beauty that has to do with body proportion for example https://www.nature.com/articles/526S16a.pdf https://www.nature.com/articles/526S16a.pdf

Not really, because your beauty strongly depends on hair cut, skin care, clothes you wear, the way you move and so on. How fit you are and how healthy you are. In case of women, the exactly right make up. The same person can look beautiful and ugly depending on all of that.

  Well, then we can but also plastic surgery on the mix if that matter. I thought it was implicit that we're talking about natural beauty without make up perhaps. And no, beauty does not depends the clothes you wear for example (makeup, yes I second that if is very thick can change the way a person look)

I wonder if people who are down voting without reason had even taken 5 minutes to read the article in the PDF. But if I should judge based on the speed of which they reply, they definitely didn't even open it

Elon Musk before and after hair transplant surgery is a perfect counterexample showing money absolutely can enhance beauty

  Oh yes one case that rule them all. I don't think this is how science works and being bald is not equivalent to being ugly. And to give you another example both Sergey Brin and Larry Page are definitely not good looking yet they've enough money to change their appearance.

As an example, check pictures before and after being millionaire of some rock stars, actors, sportsmen, etc and you will see how money can really change the looks. Take this picture before after of Cristiano Ronaldo, for example: https://elbocon.pe/resizer/0hZVESd2S5BEAOwYYdT6_FUcIEE=/980x528/smart/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-elcomercio.s3.amazonaws.com/public/AWWTL3OO7NFMLKFD62VKAXEKAY.jpg https://elbocon.pe/resizer/0hZVESd2S5BEAOwYYdT6_FUcIEE=/980x...

  This is laughable. Using a picture as argument to say "you can be handsome with money" is pretty much pointless https://www.besoccer.com/new/the-20-ugliest-footballers-in-the-world-10240 https://www.besoccer.com/new/the-20-ugliest-footballers-in-t... https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/has-cristiano-ronaldo-had-plastic-surgery/1gnvery8a5m8c14b9rn9b3z090 https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/has-cristiano-ronaldo-had-pl... https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/sydney-confidential/image-gallery/f04d03d33e448963c703a39d8a346cdb?sv=3868ed79c03f71b9fddb3904f0625065 https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/sydney-confi... https://www.imdb.com/list/ls054789830/ https://www.imdb.com/list/ls054789830/

You have no idea what aesthetic surgery can achieve. They can crush your skull to shambles and give it a completely new shape. If you think trashy when thinking about aesthetic surgery, you've only identified the cheap stuff and seen the addicts and failures. Ugly rich people either don't care or don't consider the risks worth it.
