‘Money Talks, but Wealth Is Silent’: Woman Reveals Silent Markers of Wealth

In a society where the wealthy are often idolized, it is not uncommon to find individuals keen on observing and understanding the habits that set them apart.

Bella Dane, a young woman who works at a high-end country club, shares her observations on the distinguishing behaviors of wealthy individuals.

Through her keen observations, Bella unveils several habits that seemingly differentiate the wealthy from the average person.

A Matter of Pride: Introductions that Resonate

One of the first things Bella noticed was the manner in which wealthy individuals introduce themselves.

According to her, they always use their first and last names, projecting a sense of pride and establishing a strong first impression. This practice, accompanied by a firm handshake, sets a tone that emphasizes their significance and the importance attached to their name.

Conversation: Slow & Steady

Bella also pointed out the distinctive way wealthy people engage in conversations. They tend to speak “slowly, confidently, and calmly,” often listening attentively to what the other person is saying.

Bella notes that this approach to conversation is only sometimes consistent but is generally much slower than the average person.

It reflects a genuine interest in the conversation without the rush to move on to the next topic.

Bella observed a notable trend in fashion among the wealthy: a preference for high-quality, well-made clothing devoid of brand logos.

This choice seems to echo the sentiment, “Money talks, but wealth is silent.” Bella remarked that seeing a woman adorned in stylish, high-quality garments without any visible logos often indicates a level of wealth that surpasses others.

Culinary Preferences: A Refined Palate

Beyond their conversational habits and fashion choices, wealthy individuals also exhibit a refined palate, according to Bella.

While they might still enjoy simple snacks like chips and queso, they possess a deep knowledge of high-end food and alcohol, showcasing their familiarity with the finer things in life.

Presence and Engagement: A Conscious Entry

Another interesting observation made by Bella is the conscious effort wealthy individuals make when entering a room.

They seldom use their phones in these moments, opting instead to be fully present and engaged with their surroundings. This practice showcases their preparedness and fosters a deeper interaction with the staff and others in the room.

The Verdict: Kindness Prevails

Despite the various characteristics that set them apart, Bella emphasized that the truly wealthy individuals she encountered were “always nice,” showcasing a level of kindness that transcended their financial status.

Public Reactions: A Mixed Bag

The revelations shared by Bella sparked a flurry of reactions from the online community. While some agreed with her observations, others argued that the behaviors noted were more about etiquette and the specific environment of a country club rather than an accurate representation of wealth.

One user said,

“Guys just remember old money doesn’t mean you are cash rich. It means that the family net worth is high and includes investments, cash, assets, liabilities.”

Another one added,

“I think what she describes old money comes down to just being a decent human being in general, which unfortunately isn’t so common in this generation.”

Old vs. New Money

Old money refers to wealth inherited across generations, often originating from family businesses or investments. Individuals with old money tend to be more frugal, valuing traditions and maintaining a low-profile lifestyle.

They often engage in high-class social events and hobbies like polo or sailing, which are less accessible to the average person. In contrast, new money refers to individuals’ wealth, usually transitioning from low to high income.

These individuals are likelier to display their wealth openly, indulging in spontaneous spending and following contemporary trends. They may have a narrower financial foundation than those with old money, but they are also known for their philanthropic efforts, often donating to local causes.
