Why do rich people hide their wealth?
It makes no sense, right?
Or does it?
And the reason to this video's,
my dear elegant ladies,
is because we have a growing number
of affluent people in our society
that are actually keeping their wealth low key
and they act very low key.
And I want you to get
to know these types a little bit better
because actually my personal preference
is that sometimes they tend to be the better types
than those who are in your face.
But that's just my opinion.
Now, for those of you who are new to my channel,
my name is Anna and I run an online finishing school
called School of Affluence.
I teach women elegance
and I teach them high society.
And I do it at
www.SchoolOfAffluence.com
where you can enroll in my online training program.
Okay, so one important thing
that we should start off with
by talking about when it comes
to these low key affluent people.
So first of all, good morning
to those who have not noticed
that there are actually affluent people out there
who do not look, act or live like affluent people.
And actually, there quite many of them.
You have a lot of hidden billionaires,
a lot of hidden super rich people in general
who do not flaunt their wealth.
You would never, ever think
that that person has money
because they do not live into the stereotype
of what an affluent person should look like,
act like and what lifestyle they should live.
It does actually lead me to my first
and foremost important point.
Stereotypes.
So automatically when somebody has a certain wealth,
society or humans put this kind
of expectation of them
to have a certain behavior,
to have a certain outlook,
to look a certain way, to live a certain way
and actually forget the very important fact
that well, maybe not all rich people want
to have a flashy lifestyle.
Have you thought about that?
I know that for some people,
they're like, "Oh come on, that can't be possible."
Oh yes, it is possible.
Believe it or not,
there are many affluent people out there
who are not interested in the stereotype of affluence,
who do not want to be associated with that
or who want to even live that lifestyle.
Believe it or not,
some people actually prefer driving their old car
instead of getting a sports car.
Believe it or not,
some people actually prefer living in a smaller house
than having this massive mansion.
Believe it or not, some people prefer domestic travel
over Maldives and Bora Bora.
I mean, we have many affluent people
like Warren Buffet to name a few
or Mark Zuckerberg,
so people who are not flashy
but extremely, extremely affluent.
So trust me when I say that they do exist
and it's better you accept this fact
because the sooner you accept this,
the easier your strategizing
and your journey's going to be in high society.
Number two, ladies, not every affluent person want
to be associated with new wealth,
want to be associated as somebody
who can potentially be nouveau riche.
What I mean by that is that there are people
who are very conscious
about the reputation, about their branding,
about what image they portray
and please so bear in mind
that there's many different types
of new wealth people.
There're different variations to it.
Not every new wealth person is nouveau riche.
Nouveau riche has a very bad connotation to it.
So what happens is that a lot
of affluent people who stay low key,
they stay low key because they know
that perhaps they have acquired their own wealth,
they are perhaps in the category of new wealth
and they're staying very much low key
because they don't want to be associated
with nouveau riche
because nouveau riche has a very bad reputation
in our society
and can even have a bad reputation
that will not be a good strategical move
for their business or personal life.
Number three, not everybody wants you
to know how wealthy they actually are.
Wealth brings a lot of great things in life
but it also brings a lot
of negative things, my dear ladies.
Really, it does.
Think about all the criminal things
that wealth tends to attract.
They tend to attract a higher chance for robberies,
kidnapping, blackmail, scammers,
fraudsters, friends who befriend them
for the wrong reasons, jealousy,
gossip and many, many other things.
It's actually, although it sounds a bit silly
but it's actually not that easy to be an affluent person.
There's a lot of negative things
that comes with the whole package of it.
Obviously, people want to keep a certain discretion
with their wealth
because of this, because they want to keep themselves safe,
they wanna keep their families safe,
they wanna stay out of the public eye
because they know when they attract unwanted attention,
they have to pay the price for it in the end.
And please also note the level of jealousy
that they have to unfortunately encounter
when they openly showcase their wealth
or people have the information
about how much they're actually worth.
For that reason, there's a lot of affluent people
who are much more happy knowing
that these people think that they are richer than me
and please let them think that
because that is only benefiting me.
I don't want people to know
how much money I have.
I don't wanna trigger the envy in people
because I know what envy is capable of.
So I'm going to be very low key
and keep my mouth shut
and also to keep my wealth
as hidden as I possibly can.
And this leads automatically to number four
which is actually little bit similar
but not really.
So not every rich person wants the social pressure
that comes around the aspect of wealth.
There is social pressure
because again, there are these expectations
that comes from being rich.
If you are a certain way,
then you are expected to do this and this
and if you don't, then you're this and this
and you're so horrible and blah, blah, blah.
A common example is that people
who have money are expected
to give everybody a piece of their wealth.
I'm not here talking against,
I truly believe in sharing is caring
and philanthropy but there comes a degree
when someone has to set a bit of boundaries
and let's say you have friends
who have much less money than you,
all these people want to have a piece of your cake.
Are you obliged to give them a piece
of your cake just because you have more cake than them?
Because what happens is that the human mind,
the human psyche works
in the way that we're born to be selfish.
Let's put it this way.
It's our drive, it's our survival instinct, ladies.
It's normal that we wanna kind of,
we wanna look out for ourselves firstly
and we cannot help everybody, right?
We can help a few, we can help as many
as we possibly can
but there's just so much we can do at the need of the day
but if you are going to be taken advantage of
because everybody wants to have a piece
of the pie and you're starting to attract these people
who are purely there to take advantage of you.
So boundaries has to be set
and boundaries are never going to be liked by everybody
but it's just the way life works.
As long as you are a good person
who are giving back to the community,
and who are doing your fair share of charity work
and giving back,
then I think it's all good.
Ladies, we're now at the last point, number five.
And this really comes down to this very common aspect,
why wealthy people don't want you to know
how wealthy they are?
And that's because they don't want you
to have access to them.
They don't want to be in the public eye.
They don't care about fame or recognition.
They don't wanna be in tabloids.
They want to be low key.
They wanna be out of the spotlight.
It doesn't help them in their personal life
or in their business being in the public eye,
being written about, spoken about,
gossiped about, so staying out of the public eye
becomes incredibly important for them.
For that reason,
you will not see them going to gala parties,
red carpets, being here, being there,
social media, page six.
Rubbing shoulders with who's who everywhere,
they don't do that
because they don't care.
It's not important for them.
They have a different life.
Not every rich person lives this lifestyle
and you really have to understand that.
These type of low key millionaires
and billionaires, they operate there in the background.
They're silent, they make their dollars
but they're not loud about it
because they are benefiting more
from being silent about it.
But I also know that for a lot of the ladies
in my community
who have not been exposed to a lot of affluent people,
and who might not have the experience
might think in stereotypes
and might not necessarily understand
this type of behavior and where it's coming from.
It's really important that you are aware of this
because the more you know, the better outlook you will have
on your journey
because you might end up attracting these type
of people into your life, if you're open to them
and if you learn to understand them.
And when you understand them,
they can become a great asset for you
and help you forward in life.
