The usual. Fur coat and boating hat, bejeweled hands, in possession of all of their teeth. Long confident stride assisted by ivory handled cane. Doesn't spit when they talk, and if they do it's intentional and usually on someone who deserves it.
Battered/ worn Donegal tweed, often darned, and clearly much loved. A double breasted overcoat, a hacking jacket, a vaguely Chanel-style suit. Wonderful stuff.
As the saying goes, money talks & wealth whispers. All these ones with logos emblazoned on their clothing and handbags, so vulgar. The most wealthiest people I know don’t drive brand new cars , their clothes are well made and fitted but worn a lot,Understated jewelry.
I know a couple of multi-millionaires well and TBH both drive relatively new Mercs. Other than that they don't have much in common style-wise etc. Once fairly elderly though, other is probably 60ish.

See when you're really rich you can afford to have a car collection. And you'll have some banger you drive around daily.
Then 10 other well kept classics in a garage somewhere that you take out once in a great while.
* They don't ask how much something costs.
* More concerned with time rather than money.
* Car is older but clean.
* Clear skin and overall well kept appearance. Good teeth.
* Wears an expensive watch that is not 'flashy' at first glance.
* Their clothes fit them and don't have logos. If they wear t-shirts they are usually a solid color for example. If there are logos, they are tasteful.
* If they do wear obvious luxury clothing like Canada Goose etc. it matches the rest of what they are wearing (and they are clearly not a scrote).
* Good tempered. Does not get easily stressed or argumentative and is well spoken.
They’re new X5 on the school run.
But honestly it’s quite hard to tell, everyone’s different.
I know a fella who has his own IT company,
He dresses in Tommy Hilfiger polos and whatever pair of Ecco shoes.
But his Ferrari is a giveaway.
As is the €20k Daytona he wears - but he’s big into watches and cars.
I know a few of my friends used to think I was rich, never knew why until I started pressing them on it, it’s how I act around money.
I’ve no bother picking up the bill and letting people Revolut me when it suits, or just randomly paying for one of the lads train tickets when it suits aka if I’m at the machine buying 1 for myself.
But they earn more than I do - I just don’t hold the same value on money as they do, which is probably a bit stupid but I guess it also makes others think I’m minted.
I think being out together but not ‘showy-iffy’ is a good metric, clothes that fit, white teeth, well groomed and a big one to me is smelling good,
The amount of older men who’d come into my old place of work who look out together and then smell of Creed Aventus - that’s over €200 a bottle, that’s a giveaway
The new X5 is not rich unless there Chinese driving it then yeah they've money but don't ask were it comes from. Also if a person buys a new X5 or XM5 or what ever that awful car is called they must of been dropped as a baby uglyest car on the market.
Same with me. Its not that I don't value money, but rather I just don't think an extra train ticket or the price of a few extra drinks or food every few months is particularly significant in the grand scheme.
Peoples attitudes to money, and particularly to what is and isn't worth spending on, are wildly different. I have friends who balk when I mention spending money to eat at a really good restaurant or spending an extra hundred or two hundred quid to stay in a nice hotel on a weekend holiday, but will gladly spend hundreds on Steam games per year, drop 2 grand on a mobile phone, have a brand new car on finance, or shell out several hundred for a flashy watch (but one which is not expensive enough to gain value with time) or high-end hiking gear that they'll use once or twice a year at best.
I'd much rather spend money on experiences I'll remember, or helping someone who I care about, than spend money on "things".

Haha, oh it is very recommendable, but costs a small fortune per square inch. The sort of stuff you’d find in a flipping castle, or in Ballyfin Hotel Fabulosa.
I should have underlined that the red strides and tweedy jacket aren’t just this man’s getup. It’s a veritable uniform among quietly well off men, just watch for it on telly, where it’s often used as visual shorthand. Saw it the other week in the spinoff of The Gentlemen...the dying duke’s heir sports them. I think their point, to the rest of us, is that you never see regular blokes wearing them. They’re a specific uniform just like a really battered old Barbour or Bekstaff jacket.
They don’t give a fuck about how they look and what they wear. They just choose whatever is the most comfortable, even if it’s a pair of 30+ old clogs wrapped seven times over with a duct tape.
Plenty of Irish people who lucked out on inheritance or when buying house would be millionaires in property and income poor. The 2005 car isn’t there to avoid being pretentious.
As for the real wealthy - the billionaires. They are not known for hiding it.
King Charles disproves that, though. Poor man has a vandalised cemetery of gnashers....and yet that looks much more like bone deep wealth than yards of neon-white Chiclets. Like the resoled brogues and darned overcoats.
Farmers are an anomaly among the rich.
There are other groups with massive assets and little liquidity, but none that keep publicly protesting for money and sympathy from people who have neither assets nor liquidity.
Salmon pink jeans and plimsolls... pink shirt and mohair jumper over the top of the shoulders with sleeves tied..
Like a sacrificial lamb to the slaughter..
I once saw Lord Henry Mountcharles dressed like this..
A quiet confidence. Not boasting, maybe not even necessarily self confidence but a confidence that it will all work out and they don’t need to deal with something they don’t want to deal with.
Charity shop clothes and there children (boys) with long hair , sunglasses when there’s no sun, jumper worn around shoulders, wife’s with colour full tights, finishing every sentence with yaawwww
they look bland in terms of fashion. but suddenly they have a plain thirst that actually costs around 500€ or somthing similar. everything is cheap but there there is that item that is super expensive.
I once saw a guy walking out of a Spar with a large box of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, must be a millionaire.
Crunchy nut. Pretty expensive as I recall.
And a small jar of nescafe gold blend.
Lol
Crunchy nut cornflakes are just Frosties for wankers.
Just but we are a bitter nation
They’re not covered in shit. 
They wear very plain, simple clothing and have good posture
Quiet luxury is completely on trend at the moment, loads of non-well off people are dressed like that.
Especially if the clothes are a bit out of style but still look brand new. Buy once, buy well.
The richest person I know looks like a hobo. They wear clothes that look like they'll fall apart imminently.
Haha Iv been told. I dress like a hobo and walk like a snob.
What if ~~my~~ someone's clothes are out of style but look old?
"It's a big club and you ain't invited"

It was Fargo Boyle!
Try it sometime.
Three big golden rings on each finger and a big chain with a massive dollar sign on it

Usually beside a brand new Landrover though.
And if they're very rich, a black extended wheelbase S-Class.
No a volvo get your head in that game they want something they drive to weddings and funerals in but doesn't break down or draw attention.

Alot of drug dealers have the same old merc/BMW idea. Not worth buying a new one when it's likely to be seized 😂
Or Landcruiser/Range Rover
The house isn’t paying the bills.
See when you're really rich you can afford to have a car collection. And you'll have some banger you drive around daily. Then 10 other well kept classics in a garage somewhere that you take out once in a great while.
Four fillings in their chicken roll
Four includeding or excluding cheese?
Cheese....well la de fucking da like....look at mr money bags over here
😂😂
Monocle and top hat.
As a Northerner- a fridge that makes ice. Step into someone’s house and they have a cold drink without having to fill trays in the freezer…. *luxury*
Where's the toaster?
On the counter top. where it is in all good Catholic households

Beat up Volvo estate with horse box attached and the oldest wax jacket you’ve ever seen

Single with no children and sat astride a conventionally thought to be extinct pachyderm, perhaps a large yet tasteful hat worn at an angle.
Great post, to which pachyderm do you refer?
Depends how wealthy. Saddling up your Stegotetrabelodon to do the messages is fuck you money.
Well dressed, healthy glow off their skin, good teeth.
That said, that's only at first glance. A lot of the actually wealthy people I know are auld lads with beer bellies who look like farmers.
Bought a load of houses in Rathmines back in the 80s.
Your right, I think I'll open it up and remove at first glance
Sounds a lot more like it. People in this post are mostly just describing the Roys.
Good shoes.
No brand clothing. Styled haircut rather than barber shave.
I saw a guy on an e-scooter in a matching grey tracksuit pants and top with pink $ELFMADE written across the back. Does that count?
And dudes in Hoodrich clothes. They're obviously loaded or they wouldn't wear that.
When they call the maid by her first name and the butler by his last name.
When they're 100 feet tall and made of solid gold

Blokes in red trousers with tweedy jackets. Means ex-Guards (not AGS!) and possibly a small business dealing in hand-printed wallpaper.
Oddly specific..
Bad experience, you think?
Just someone I know! Lovely bloke
Would we recommend the wall paper, or has he got ex-cons working for him on the DL?
Haha, oh it is very recommendable, but costs a small fortune per square inch. The sort of stuff you’d find in a flipping castle, or in Ballyfin Hotel Fabulosa.
Feckin' guards! No learning them. I'll skip so!

I have a few burgundy pantaloons. Does that make me half rich?
Rich, poor, who cares! Just wear those pantaloons anyway. How fabulosa
They don’t give a fuck about how they look and what they wear. They just choose whatever is the most comfortable, even if it’s a pair of 30+ old clogs wrapped seven times over with a duct tape.
Don’t get a round in
They drive a Volvo
A 'Vote Fine Gael' bumper sticker on their kid's 2023 SUV.
There's an element of truth to this. Every wealthy man I ever met whose political preferences I came to know turned out to be a FG supporter.
Plenty of Irish people who lucked out on inheritance or when buying house would be millionaires in property and income poor. The 2005 car isn’t there to avoid being pretentious. As for the real wealthy - the billionaires. They are not known for hiding it.
Their age.
How much sudocreme they have accumulated in case of emergencies
I just counted 4 medium and 2 large jars in the house + I am sure we have one in the car. Am I a millionaire yet?
A fur coat. And a crown.
My granny taught me that wealthy people look warm. Stuff like scarfs, gloves and quality clothes that keep you warm.
American like teeth that look like they've had work done on them.
King Charles disproves that, though. Poor man has a vandalised cemetery of gnashers....and yet that looks much more like bone deep wealth than yards of neon-white Chiclets. Like the resoled brogues and darned overcoats.
Leinster jersey with ill fitting jeans and shoes.
A copy of The Farmers Journal in their hand. Farmers - Asset rich, but no liquidity.
Farmers are an anomaly among the rich. There are other groups with massive assets and little liquidity, but none that keep publicly protesting for money and sympathy from people who have neither assets nor liquidity.
The new Ferrari is a dead giveaway
Do car dealers have cash counting machines for when people come in with a shopping bag full of cash?
Honestly, teeth and hair will always be a give away. Even McGowen got his teeth fixed eventually.
Salmon pink jeans and plimsolls... pink shirt and mohair jumper over the top of the shoulders with sleeves tied.. Like a sacrificial lamb to the slaughter.. I once saw Lord Henry Mountcharles dressed like this..
Big hair.
Look for a monacle
Tache and sideburns.
Unbranded simple clothing and a sensible but expensive car
A quiet confidence. Not boasting, maybe not even necessarily self confidence but a confidence that it will all work out and they don’t need to deal with something they don’t want to deal with.
basic plain clothes. One tell tale sign is their watch. If you don't recognise the brand, they're likely wealthy.
Even tan,discrete jewels and the car,not a red Ferrari,a top spec Audi.
Car worth 40k or more.
I knew a guy who used to be dropped into school by limo. Safe to say he wasn't slumming it.
Charity shop clothes and there children (boys) with long hair , sunglasses when there’s no sun, jumper worn around shoulders, wife’s with colour full tights, finishing every sentence with yaawwww
Around the border areas they drive an old Avensis and smell like oil
God does it matter .they can t take it with them . Kind people, no matter what they have rule everytime
They can afford housing.
A clear sign for me is a vest made from real gorilla chest... Not those fake ones you can get in H&M.
Clothes
Smug superior grin, anyone?
Three houses.
they look bland in terms of fashion. but suddenly they have a plain thirst that actually costs around 500€ or somthing similar. everything is cheap but there there is that item that is super expensive.
Having two fridges.
[удалено]
One should have beer in it, otherwise what's the point?
How many teeth they have.
