Sounds like it’s a paraphrase of an old proverb: money talks, wealth whispers

Exactly

​@@HaloHighlightz I saw someone saying Money talk , wealth scream out of our fréquency😅😅

Actually yes

Money yells while wealth whispers

Brands of the clothing please

My French teacher often told the story of her host family/bosses when she worked as an au pair ( I believe) in Paris. They drove a car that looked like it belonged in a scrap yard, and wore clothes that looked like she, a broke student working for them, could afford. And yet, they were extremely wealthy, owned a house in a nice part of Paris, etc. Most high end designer brands have two sorts of products. The products for people who are buying the brand and want to show that they can finally afford it, and the products that look like anyone could afford it but cost my entire monthly rent.

@@Guineapigsreadingbooks what’s the point when we are all going to die anyway

To be honest, some cultures (that includes USA) has a tendency to always have huge expensive looking stuff and be extremely in debt. I

The ultra wealthy do not drive beaters though, they spend money on shit, just not on logos.

And thinks she’s “schooling” the public 🥴🤡

That's wealth. You have time on your side. She took bus not only to travel, but to enjoy

Was it the 24 bus in westmount

@@clairewillow6475 Haha. It was in Outremont.

Exactly earthy colors too

Everyone knows what they’re wearing is designer. Ermanno Scervino, Pucci, Missoni, Sandro, DVF, Birkin bags, diamond watches, etc everyone knows and there’s nothing quiet about it. Most don’t have logos unless they’re wearing t shirts or sweatshirts. But that’s it.

Underrated comment.

l grew up in the 70s, I remember the Sears catalog. My school clothes were indestructible!

We live in a fake economy. Things are purposely made to not last so money keep recycling.

​@@-onyx2626lol

Idk what time period you’re talking about but that’s not the case at all

This! People really don't realise the enormous aesthethics advantage over the cost of just a tailor's visit.

@@re_flow Should I tailor my $15 polos from Targét?

@@stupedcraig definitely if it is within your budget and if you plan to wear them often/ for a long time! Of course, don't go to a high-end tailor to do so, but even tailored tees are way better. I did it with cheaper shirts and their effects are night and day.

Even better, buy high quality designer labels second hand, THEN Tailor them, because they might not be in your size since you have to take what they've got. They still cost less than the crap from the mall but are custom fit designer clothes!

an alternative for poor people is just learning to tailor your own clothes. definitely a valuable skill to learn

I have seen two of these people in the wild. They will look 10 years younger than they actually are as well. ‘Sir what are you doing at 25 with the skin of a 9 year old?’ Fae folk

george soros has left the chat.

This is the one of the biggest generalizations I’ve ever read in the KZfaq comments section - and that’s saying something! Congratulations! My best friend growing up had a billionaire uncle. Yes, a _billionaire_ uncle. He would take us on trips for his nephew’s birthday, holidays, and sometimes just for fun. He was the most out of shape alcoholic I’ve ever met in my life. We are from Texas so he literally was just like a regular cowboy type. He was kind as could be, but to say he exuded wealth and it was reflected in his health/body is false, to say the least. My mother was also friends with a woman who was married to the CEO of a huge, well-known pharmaceutical company, so not a billionaire but a multi, multi, millionaire. She also drank a lot, but she was miserably depressed because her 1%er husband was a total loser. She only got happier once she divorced him. That doesn’t sound like a healthy, stress-free environment, does it? Also, the owner of my friend’s company is a billionaire. Again, a literal billionaire. I’ve been able to spend significant amounts of time with him and his family because he is quite generous and has many parties and retreats that my friend has brought me along to as a plus one. And this man also absolutely does _not_ exude health and happiness. One of his three children is an addict. He has a super stressful job running a super stressful company. His wife, on the other hand, was just like your generalization. She is in her 60s, like him, but she is beautiful and in great shape. She is kindness personified. And even though her billionaire husband had just met me, the first time I went to an event they hosted, he literally yelled and screamed at her in front of me and told her she was _not_ going to have drinks with us at the bar because _he_ wanted to go to bed and _she_ knew that. It was quite shocking. He literally couldn’t have cared less about my opinion about his behavior because I was a nobody, so why would he? So I’ve met _many_ people who are truly wealthy and they are often just as messed up as us non 1%ers. Even wealthy people who don’t have the stressors of running companies can also have tons of problems too, just like the child of my neighbor’s boss. Being wealthy isn’t like some super power that suddenly makes you immune to stress and makes you unable to make poor decisions. The ultra-wealthy people I’ve met are evidence of that.

lol Im glad someone said it before me. Yeah talk about a vague generalization. Theres many rich wealthy people that dont have a pristine glow.

Yeah Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jacqueline Mars, & Geroge Soros really radiating out here 💀😂😭

So the hedonic treadmill. Sounds exhausting.

😂😂😂😂

weep

Why weep? I don't really care what the wealthy flaunt, I do what makes me happy, and it has nothing to do with social tagging & flaunting luxury. Good quality clothing & accessories does not equal expensive or unattainable. I find it sad that so many people value this. Hopefully one day they will realize these are not the things that matter in life.

@@tennilledebysingh5819That’s just cope and silent ressentiment and deep down you know it.

I'm not rich and I want my house at the back

@@FreedomTalkMedia Now youre thinking like the wealthy. Now its time to exploit some labor.

Sums up McMansions lol

As a home health care worker in southern Georgia, I’ve seen this! I get great life advice too

There is a whole street in the Wan Chai district of Hong Kong with nothing but 20x30 ft. stores filled with bolts of fabric. You bring in a picture out of a magazine of a suit or dress or skirt suit and pick out your fabric and pick up the custum fit clothes in a day or two or have it shipped home. There is a scene in Above the Law where CIA agent Nelson Fox opens his suit to show the Hong Kong label. Always thought that was the height of style. Something James Bond would do. Get his suits made in Hong Kong.

@@practicaliching2311 this is common across Asia, having lived in HK for a decade their tailors rival European ones any day. In South Asia, the fabric quality available all over is just excellent.

*children in bangladesh

Some real Django shit

And custom-sized wooden feet forms carved by artisans and stored at shoemakers in London and Italy 👢👞

Literally decades, not figuratively 😂😂😂

Perhaps we’ve been too busy Black Friday shopping away the past few at the clown items the rich have been laughing at us for using

Thank social media gurus 😂

Literally, “well these days, things are different” you’re like what 30 at best? Please tell us how things are “different these days” as if humans haven’t been having a society for millennia before you dropped in. Every quaint observation they have is to them a recent societal shift.

Basically the truly wealthy families have never worn company logos trying to impress anyone. Brands mark slaves.

Thank you Mr Cold William

But if you won't get caught, yeah steal it.

The one thing I’ve noticed with some kids of rich or wealthy people is they are embarrassed by it. They want to be like everyone else so they get clothes, cars, etc that make them appear like everyone else. It’s kind of a travesty they don’t embrace having the background to afford nicer things.

@@sharinglungs3226because people criticize them for being a lazy nepo baby who doesn’t have to work. And I’m sure they want to be seen for their own person and not who their dad or mom is. It’s still a kind of silly struggle to have because work sucks and we all wish we had some way to never have to work again but there’s also pride and accomplishment in being self made and it’s something you can’t get from being a rich man’s son.

Exactly, there’s nothing new about this concept. And even in succession it’s important to remember the scene where the family were viewed as new money when meeting with an old money family. Most importantly to remember is this has always existed, and not an issue most of us ‘common folk’ should be comparing ourselves to beyond a superficial level if it creates unnecessary insecurities or serious overspending. Far much more to life to find joy and meaning in within each of our means, including fun with fashion! I say this as a thrift store income bracket shopper, with friends who have cars worth more than my rental apartment. Just be you.

It's always been this way. Each generation likes to think that they have discovered "stealth wealth" but they've been around forever.

Although some recognizeable brands manufacture a mass produced line with logos but also offer a premium line of similar products with no logo.

@ChucksSEADnDEAD yes I know about the Ralph Lauren and such. But even then, you can get Ralph Lauren custom made which even more expensive than the one you bought in store, even when the two are quiet luxury.

This only applies to people who care about how their clothes fit. Most off the rack clothing will suffice for most people. In some cases like suits, off the rack is meant to have adjustments so left somewhat unfinished like the bottom of pants. Most wealthy people also have poorly fitted clothing because it’s not a priority to them.

@@sharinglungs3226 well yes because there are time and place for everything. The clothes im talking about are the one they wear in meetings, ceremonies, speeches or in media. They are not always in bespoke clothing around their family and friends.

Shit I'm barely middle class and even my suits costs $1K - the wealthy wear $100,000 suits

they’re so tacky..

Agreed. Why pay a lot to look bad?

You just wrote this comment to say you’re rich, nothing quiet about that 😂

​​@@b__c7538he has a job, so musnt be that wealthy. 😂

Lol this isn’t anything new I’m not sure why this video even exists. Nouveau riche has been connected with ostentatious or flashy dress and lack of overall “class” since at least the 19th century in the US. It’s much to do with the downfall of traditional aristocracy (old rich) in favor of industrialists and entrepreneurs (new rich)

I think a big reason they stopped being loudly rich is because it makes them a target.

Can you tell us when the wealthy were ever wearing loud logos? There's no pivot, they've just never done that. You might be thinking of rappers or something.

Wealthy people have never been interested in brand names on clothing. Simply put, Armani and Gucci are about impressing people with conspicuous consumption. Billionaires can buy not only the Gucci handbag, but the entire Gucci store. They have no need to impress you with money.

Now that's WEALTH! 😉

God damnnn 100M ? Well I hope your wealth perpetuates even more ! And don't hesitate if you feel generous and want to help a brother out 😂

Are you kidding? 😂 this is a joke. To them status is everything. And they do buy things to show off. It’s ridiculous that people think wealthy people don’t want to show off their wealth at all.

Luxury: a $300 hospital bill for a life-changing treatment. Quiet luxury: buying a $300 t-shirt hoping a random billionaire might see you and mistake you for one of them for 3 seconds

Considering the wealth that Zuckerberg has. The t shirt might aswell of been free

Babe I don't like the guy but he literally owns Facebook

@Natalie E I'm aware he does, but that doesn't change my point that he's an idiot for paying hundreds for what the rest of pay 20 bucks for. Also I was using him as more of a general point then a specific example.

You have no idea what Brunello Cucinelli is do you? Probably never even heard of Isaia, Kiton or Brioni. "Handmade clothing" or "Italian wool" just goes completely over your head.

They’re not idiots if they have the disposable income to buy want they want

People also assume attractive folk are wealthy too. Strange phenomenon in my school, since you should be looking for the nerdy or almost sickly.

It’s not a trend or lifestyle. It’s for survival. That’s how wealthy these people are.
