I did window cleaning in the 2000s and went inside many rich folks homes. It was my favorite part of the job.
But I had a much different experience. They were kind, more humanizing than middle class housewives, and very proud of their homes which were often fully custom to their spec. Most had built a successful business. Perhaps my curiosity went a long way to flatter them, or they saw themselves in me - young and hustling.

Most "snobby" rich people are not honestly that rich at all, comparatively, or are very new money etc. (think of "dude who sold their startup for 20 million").

Money was like water for them, plentiful but unexceptional. The latter would just hit everything with the biggest number next to it.
