There's a lot of that in Europe too. There's a lot less overt flaunting of wealth in the richer countries (Denmark or Sweden, for example) than in the poorer countries. However, I think even upper class people flaunt wealth, but in different and subtler ways. One example of this (for the super rich) are art collections (such as paintings).
