I once encountered an art gallery owner who said some of their highest value transactions came from people who were not dressed much better than bums off the street. Because of that, he said that he had to train his staff not to make rash assumptions based on the way someone is dressed. Similarly, I once met a guy who drove an old truck but was actually an unassuming multi millionaire. So I would say that, if anything, wealthy individuals may be inclined to intentionally mislead in appearances so that they will not attract false friends or thieves.

And I bet he laughed all the way home (turning all those preconceived notions on their heads and watching jaws drop). I love it!
