When one young braggart said in the theater that he was smart because he talked with many philosophers, Epictetus remarked to him: “I have many rich friends, but still I am not a rich man.”

The expression “rich appearance” has always been synonymous with vulgarity, loudness and bad taste. The nouveau riche and parvenu looked “rich.” But time passed, the world changed - this concept was filled with a different meaning. In the modern world, looking rich means being elegant and stylish, unobtrusively demonstrating your success and taste. But in a rich way - yes, it’s ridiculous and vulgar.

How to become rich and successful

According to psychologists, nothing determines a person’s success in life, career, and business more than his psychological state. If you want to become rich and successful, change your thoughts, psychological attitudes and appearance. You won't believe it, but it works unconditionally. Self-confidence, self-esteem, a positive outlook on the world, open-mindedness, plus discreet chic in clothes will attract prosperity to you. So if you want to make good money, take the trouble to work on your appearance and become polished. Your guide will be the proven 7 golden rules for men.

1. Natural elegance

The effort you put into looking presentable should not be noticeable. It's possible that you've spent years honing your unique style. But only you should know about this. It should seem to everyone else that the ability to look your best is innate in you. Inherited from my financier grandfather along with antique cufflinks.

2. No labels

Your clothes should highlight your style, and not bluntly communicate the contents of your wallet. Let those around you guess which designer’s atelier your suit and shirt were made in. An accomplished person will never allow himself to display “insignia.” This cheap method is the lot of those who show off, but in reality mean nothing. However, in each circle there are certain signs in use that indicate the status of a particular gentleman. Deal with them and give the right signals.

3. Fewer words

A rich and successful person does not brag to everyone around about his purchases, deals, projects... He is generally taciturn about what concerns his affairs. In contrast to the poor and unsuccessful, who, for example, having bought a counterfeit of some brand at a sale, boasts for a long time and revels in such a successful operation. One can only feel sorry for the poor guy - he has no other achievements. You prove your importance with real achievements.

4. Stylish restraint

Minimalism, or purism - this is your style. No bright colors or creative styles. Only classics! And it's not boring at all. Even within this framework, there is an opportunity to stand out, to find your own “zest”. For example, always wear fresh, carefully ironed shirts. These can only be shirts with a stand-up collar or a “loaf” collar. Or maybe you prefer thin turtleneck jumpers made of natural wool. We won’t talk about polished shoes - that goes without saying. Thanks to such tricks, you will successfully stand out and be noticed.

5. Imperfection

Clothes should not be, as they say, brand new. You've probably heard that in the old days, not a single English lord went out into society wearing a newly purchased suit. Until this moment, he had been “kept up” for several days... by the butler. This lovely tradition, I think, is still alive. “Too” new things, like some other things, such as a perfect haircut, a perfectly shaved chin, manicured hands, can give you away, telling others that you have only recently learned the taste of big money and are unconsciously trying to emphasize your unusual status. Act as if you were born with a silver spoon and have always slept on silk sheets.

6. Ease and negligence

Carelessness does not mean carelessness. Rather, it is a lack of rigor in appearance and manner of dressing. Successful people today do not wear strict classic suits with perfectly ironed wings. They dress more simply and allow themselves such slight negligence as the absence of a tie, the top button of a shirt undone, a soft jumper instead of a jacket, thereby demonstrating inner liberation. And traditional suits quietly moved into the category of uniforms for drivers, security guards and office workers. The rich prefer casual - an urban, casual style.

7. In the spotlight

Looking rich means not only dressing elegantly and expensively, but also knowing how to behave, feeling confident and relaxed, being a witty conversationalist and an attentive listener. Such people certainly attract the attention of others. Don’t be afraid of other people’s appraising glances, don’t look away. Get used to being the center of attention and enjoying it, as a successful and rich person should.

Learn these simple rules, follow them, make them a habit, which will soon, as expected, become second nature. And then success will follow.

7 golden rules in a “female” version

In general, the rules for appearing rich are the same for men and women.

1. Feminine elegance should also look natural, and not forced, verified to the smallest detail.
2. Displaying labels is not permitted. Only “janitor’s daughters” allow themselves to do this, not ladies.
3. Talking about your purchases and especially divulging their cost is bad manners.
4. Minimalism also welcomes ladies. Do not overload the style with details, do not dazzle with colors, do not “excess” with decorations.
5. Women's clothes should also not signal that they have just come from the store. On the contrary, they are loved and worn for a long time.
6. The urban casual style is just as loved by ladies who have established themselves in the profession and are successful in business.
7. The ability to calmly and favorably respond to other people’s views and not be afraid of attention is a distinctive feature of rich women.

But there are still some purely feminine rules on how to look rich.

1. Quality

This is a fetish for the rich. There may be fewer things, but they will be of high quality. As they say, less is more. They choose shoes, gloves and bags, as well as accessories with particular passion. And they wear things made from natural fabrics: cashmere, linen, silk, cotton.

2. Color

The rich prefer exquisite colors in clothing: black, white, all shades of gray and brown, blue, bottle blue, burgundy and pastel. And also - plain fabrics. This is a win-win option because such clothes are especially elegant. Drawings are allowed on scarves and shawls.

3. No vulgarity

This means not only that the rich don't wear tracksuits as casual street clothes, but also that they don't use self-tanners, tan in tanning salons, or put on pounds of makeup. The rich tend to care about their health, so they do not sunbathe even at resorts. By the way, natural skin whiteness is becoming a trend. The rich are also characterized by a sense of proportion, so they use cosmetics very carefully, only slightly emphasizing their eyes and lips. They don’t wear breathtaking necklines, high heels and minis that are bordering on indecent.

4. Style, not fashion

The rich don't chase fashion and don't buy trendy things. A rich wardrobe means stylish, simple and high-quality clothing that emphasizes individuality. Perfect fit. Femininity, but not sexuality.

5. Self-care

The rich look younger than their age. They are fit, athletic, well-groomed, and are not overweight. It is clear that care requires a lot of money - cosmetologists, massage therapists, fitness trainers... But the rich do not skimp on health and appearance. Sleekness also means healthy shiny hair, good complexion, clean skin, well-groomed hands.

6. Flaws

If the rich were perfectionists, it was in the past. They have already proven everything to themselves and the world and allowed themselves to be imperfect. This means that the hairstyle is not fashionable and not hair to hair - it looks like the wind has tousled the hair. There is no exaggerated sleekness or excessive gloss in everything.

7. Vintage

Rich people value things with history. They happily rummage through junk shops, sometimes finding wonderful things. And they don’t believe in stupid arguments that other people’s clothes have bad energy. On the contrary, things that are given a second life bring good luck to the new owners. That's how they are, rich women. Free, without complexes and prejudices, elegant and stylish. Being like this is as easy as shelling pears.

Habits and luxuries of rich people

In any society there are different segments of the population. People can be divided by many factors, but one of the most striking factors is the level of wealth. Rich people can literally be seen from afar, and their lifestyle is significantly different. The habits and luxuries of rich people are amazing, and some even cause undisguised envy. This is not the best feeling, but you can take example from rich people, imitate them and look up to them, especially if you like this lifestyle.

Who is a rich man

Let's look at who a rich person is before we lift the veil of secrecy about the lives of rich people. In the usual understanding of this term, a rich person is a person who has a large amount of material values. Wealth can be not only material, but also spiritual or family. In this article we look at the habits of people who are financially rich.

Rich people are people who have income significantly above average. If in your region the average salary is 35,000 rubles per month, then a truly rich person either already has a significant amount or receives at least 7-10 times more than the average. Material wealth is not only money that comes in, but also money that is already available.

A rich person has a sufficient amount of material assets behind him that can fully support his life. This includes real estate, antique and collectible valuables, precious metals, products, etc. A “millionaire” can also be an ordinary poor person, for example, living in Moscow in an apartment worth 7-10 million.

But such a person cannot be called rich, even taking into account the cost of his home. A rich person has many material assets, and in this case, an expensive apartment is the only thing the “millionaire” has in his heart.

How to spot a rich person

There are many myths surrounding rich people. The biggest myth is that rich people don’t work. If it were so, then it is unlikely that they would become rich unless they received an inheritance or won the lottery.

Rich people don't just work, they often work even harder and harder than everyone else. Surveys have shown that wealthy people in America work on average 50-55 hours a week, while the middle class works only 40-45 hours.

Rich people may be incredibly busy, but they have more freedom with their time. The reason for their vacation 3-4 times a year and numerous foreign trips is not only money, but also their approach to life.

They are busy not because they work for food/shelter, they are busy for another reason - they like their work, and it brings them a huge income. Therefore, they can afford to vacation in Cyprus, the Philippines or luxury ski resorts in the Alps.

You are unlikely to be able to find out the exact work schedule of a person, so you should not focus on his employment. But you can determine a rich person by his lifestyle. There are exceptions, such as, for example, the founder of the IKEA chain, Ingvar Kamprad.

He is a very rich man, but leads an ascetic lifestyle and still drives a Volvo 240, released in 1993. But if we do not take into account rare exceptions, then rich people are always betrayed by their lifestyle.

Lifestyle manifests itself in both small and global things. You can spot a rich person even just by his suit or watch. An expensive car is an ambiguous indicator. You need to pay attention to the details.

A car, even an expensive one, can be taken on credit as a necessary thing that clearly emphasizes one’s status. But few people will take out a loan of 10-20 thousand dollars to buy a watch or a nice suit. However, among cars there are some brands that are typical only for truly rich people:

• Porsche;
• Bentley;
• Ferrari;
• Maybach;

Cars of the brands Mercedes, BMW, Land Rover, etc. can belong to both rich people and people with sufficient income. Rich people are also known for their expensive vintage cars. Some rich people are fond of collecting antiques, including rare cars.

It is ideal if you can observe a person for a while or look at his life story. Where a person goes to eat, where he gets his hair cut and where he rests - all this reveals rich people, even those who hide their wealth. Pay attention to where the person gets his hair cut. The level of salon and prices characterizes a person, as does the regularity of visiting such places.

The same can be said about nutrition. This includes not only expensive restaurants, but also proper nutrition, which includes plenty of fish, meat and fresh vegetables/fruits, even in winter.

A person’s place of residence is also a controversial indicator. As a rule, expensive houses or apartments are expensive for a reason, but because of their high quality or excellent location. Simply wealthy people can buy such things, because this is a global issue of comfort. But there is also a certain sign where a person lives. Pay attention to the details of the apartment or house, as well as the materials and equipment used.

Pets bring joy not only to ordinary people, but also to the rich. There are very expensive breeds of dogs or cats, but rich people also choose classic breeds. The difference is not so much in the breeds as in the approach.

Rich people spend a lot more money on their animals. The pet is always well-groomed, and a personal doctor can be responsible for its health. Due to the catastrophic lack of time, animals are often cared for not by the person himself, but by his family or specially hired people.

How rich people dress

Many rich people dress in branded items. Among the brands you can find both expensive, but very common and relatively “affordable” Lacoste, and truly expensive clothes. If you don’t know much about brands, then pay attention to the freshness of the clothes. Rich people tend to frequently update their wardrobes and rarely wear second-hand clothes.

Rich people's favorite brands include:

• Hermes;
• Ralph Lauren;
• Versace;
• Burberry;
• Armani;

For the common man, these clothes may look simply stylish, but rich people value them for their high quality. These are all factory-made clothes, but rich people often resort to custom-made clothes. This is especially true for men's suits and women's evening dresses.

Rich people simply cannot be satisfied with mass-produced clothes and prefer clothes tailored exactly to their figure. Some rich people even have a personal tailor on staff who adjusts their clothes from time to time.

Among rich people there are also supporters of the casual style, buying T-shirts and sweaters for up to 30 euros apiece. For example, the creator of the social network FaceBook, Mark Zuckerberg, wears fairly cheap T-shirts with regular pants. Another equally famous billionaire, Steve Jobs, did not pay any attention to his appearance or brands, so everyone remembered his appearance for his cheap black turtlenecks.

Accessories

It is much easier to identify a rich person by his accessories than by his clothes. The two most important accessories that tell you everything about a person are a phone and a watch. This applies to both sexes. Rich people prefer two brands of phones: Apple and BlackBerry.

There are status phones, for example, Vertu, but these are for real connoisseurs. Rich people prefer to use the latest models of devices, but they do this not as a tribute to fashion, but because of their functionality and convenience.

To identify a rich person using watches, you need to understand them. For a rich person, a watch is not only a decoration on the wrist, even if its owner is a woman, but also a working tool. Rich people value their time like no other and know its value. A watch should not only be beautiful, but also accurate and reliable.

One of the most expensive watches in the world is the 201-carat Chopard, costing more than 25 million. Again, this is an accessory for connoisseurs and extreme. Rich people know how to count their money, and most often the watch on their wrist costs between 10-60 thousand euros. Agree, for an ordinary person this amount is astronomical, but for a rich person this is the average price for a watch. Watches from the following popular brands fall into this price category:

• Patek Philippe;
• Breguet;
• Frank Muller;
• Audemars Piguet;
• Jaeger-LeCoultre;

Patek Philippe brand watches are in high demand among rich people in Russia. For example, Alisher Usmanov has such watches - the Perpetual Calendar 5140 model, and Vagit Alekperov has the Chronograph 5170 model. Leonid Mikhelson wears the Classique Grande Reverso model from the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand. The most popular Breguet model is the Marine Chronograph, owned by several millionaires. All watches are distinguished by their extraordinary beauty, high-quality workmanship and reliable mechanism.

Expensive watches have always been the subject of copying. You need to be able to tell the difference between a copy and an original to get an idea of ​​the person. Even a layman can distinguish a cheap copy, but some copies of expensive watches can also be “expensive” and cost 1-2 thousand euros. Therefore, it is better to consider the watch in total with other indicators of a rich person.

Hobbies

A person's hobbies can also reveal their income level. Golf and other games of millionaires are a stereotype. Rich people tend to be very busy and therefore have a hard time finding time to play. But they may have a hobby on which they spend a lot of money.

Using the example of Oleg Tinkov (Russia) or Andrey Onistrat (Ukraine), we see that rich people take care of their health. We can say that health is a hobby of rich people. If you see that a person closely monitors his health and spends a lot of money and time on it, then remember that this is one of the signs of rich people.

They say that the rich have their own quirks. One of these fads is collecting. If a person is interested in collecting something, not necessarily very expensive, such as coins or knives, then there is a chance that this is a rich person. Some rich people are not just interested in collecting, they invest money in it. Investing in antiques and art is very common among the wealthy.

The habits and luxuries of rich people betray even the secretive rich. Hiding wealth in Russia, and throughout the world, is a very common habit. There are exceptions - people who literally “shout” about their wealth. For example, people who use real gold to decorate their phones or cars. And the rest of the rich people are distinguished from the crowd by their lifestyle.

Rate us

We often evaluate people by their clothes and involuntarily form an impression of a person by looking at how he is dressed. However, if you look at the richest people on the planet, you can’t always tell by their appearance that they are billionaires. Just remember the same Steve Jobs, whom we most often saw in a black turtleneck and blue jeans.

Today we decided to take a look at how the richest women in the world dress.

Facial features that indicate a very rich person

The hallmarks of a rich person are not just a portfolio of high-yielding stocks and the latest iPhone model. It is easy to identify a real rich person, armed with knowledge of physiognomy - the science of the influence of appearance on fate and financial well-being.

We found common features in the arguments of physiognomists about the influence of the shape of the nose on the financial success and appearance of real rich people and tell us what the connection is between the face and money.

Face shape

Physiognomy says that those with oval and trapezoidal face types are most susceptible to enrichment. They are smart and insightful, their light, agile intellect is capable of generating amazing ideas.

If you look closely at the shape of the face of the greatest investor, Warren Buffett, you will find something between an oval and a trapezoid:

Warren Buffett began earning money at the age of 11, and at the age of 31 he became a millionaire thanks to his innate gift of being in the right place at the right time and buying stocks, which soon rose in price.

Nose

Physiognomists consider the nose to be the epicenter of interpretation of human characteristics. Scientists consider the ideal nose for a rich man to be one with a straight back, a well-rounded tip and beautifully shaped wings. A long nose indicates creativity rather than commercial success. But a bony nose with a pointed tip indicates the financial independence of the owner.

The most favorable tip of the nose is the “dangling gall” (ink nut). That is, the tip of the nose hangs like this nut hangs.

The round shape of the tip of the nose of this type speaks of a prosperous personality occupying a strong position in society, and a small hump promises inevitable financial success. With such a nose, Mark Zuckerberg simply could not help but get rich.

Mouth

The general rule for reading the shape of a mouth is: the larger the mouth and fuller the lips, the better the person’s character and the easier it is to earn a comfortable life. And if the mouth is large, but cannot close tightly, this means carelessness and excessive wastefulness. The ideal version of a rich man's mouth is moderately thin lips, a large mouth and straight teeth, ensuring good diction in negotiations. For example, like the founder of Amazon.

Ears

Experience has shown that if the upper part of the ear is higher than the level of the eyebrows, then the individual has a very high intelligence. Such a person can achieve widespread fame or exceptional financial success. Well-rounded ears, close to the head, indicate a courageous, determined person with an independent mind. Such people literally conquer their destiny and successfully build a career.

Those with long lobes and small ears are less fortunate - they are predicted to have hard work and years of hardship.

Eyebrows and eyes

Long, graceful eyebrows usually indicate a person with a marked capacity for longevity, good reputation and financial prosperity. In addition, if such eyebrows are longer than the eyes and have an elegant texture, then this indicates outstanding intelligence.

People whose upper eyelid creeps into the middle of the eye will never miss their own benefit. According to ancient Chinese texts, such eyelids indicate maturity and considerable insight.

People who have the talent to lead large corporations and institutions are more likely to have the “Phoenix eye” - long eyes with double eyelids and small “fishtails” running up and down. The irises certainly have a strong shine.

Instructions

The first impression you make on people directly depends on your overall grooming. Clean skin, well-groomed hands - all this can be achieved without special expenses using folk remedies or inexpensive skincare cosmetics. If you are not able to give yourself a flawless manicure on your own, look for an inexpensive “no pretensions” hairdresser near your home, the prices there are much lower than in beauty salons.

Pay special attention to the condition of your hair. They must always be clean - this is not even discussed. And none! Either you regularly update your color - or you don't dye your hair. A compromise option could be tinted shampoos - better than a natural tone. Dyed hair should either show the “hand of the master” or not be conspicuous; there is no third option. If you wear a short haircut, do not forget to update it on time; a hairstyle that has lost its shape will not make you look presentable. If regular visits to the hairdresser undermine your budget, grow your hair long; it will be enough to trim the ends once every few months.

Don’t skimp on bags and shoes – they should be of high quality and quite expensive. But you can afford to choose things that will “age” beautifully - for example, buy leather dyed in natural brown tones. Even shabby they will look stylish. Don't get carried away by extravagant styles that catch your eye. If you can only afford one pair of winter shoes and choose bright green boots with rich decor, they will not always look appropriate, and in addition, they will become familiar very quickly. Visit regularly - worn out heels or shabby heels do not fit with the “million dollar” image.

Choose your clothes carefully. It is better if it is made from natural materials - all other things being equal, cotton, wool, linen, and silk look more expensive than synthetics. Don’t get carried away by “interesting models” - inexpensive items with a simple cut will look better, and their origin will be more difficult to “calculate”. In addition, things “from the market” are usually distinguished by the quality of seams and decorative elements. The less noticeable they are, the better.

Keep an eye out for discounts and sales of old collections in branded stores. Not all models from the past season become obsolete immediately, but quality always remains quality. Don’t hesitate to shop second-hand there – you can buy high-quality and original clothes in excellent condition. The main thing is to be interested in the dates of delivery of new things and come on the first day in order to have time to skim off the “cream”.

Select your outfits carefully – not a single element in them should “stand out” from the overall concept of the ensemble. Try to ensure that your appearance matches the situation as best as possible - for example, for a picnic it is better to wear cheap jeans rather than office trousers. And make sure that your clothes are always clean, without puffs or pilling.
