Do some rich people only wear designer clothes? Like, is everything they have in their wardrobe designer, even down to their socks and underwear?

It’s a question I’ve always had.

To clarify, I mean both old money and new money, from high-level millionaires to billionaires. And when I say designer, I mean across the entire spectrum. Not every designer brand is loud and famous like Gucci. What I mean is, do these wealthy people ever buy clothes, underwear, socks, etc., from stores like Walmart, Target, and other regular retailers, or is everything in their wardrobe designer?

    How did $50 mil become not so opulent? Thats fifty million dollars. I have 2k in savings, I’m thinking about busing instead of flying. Whatever level I’m picking for airlines is $400-500 nowadays one way.

      Would you regard a 1950s run down shack of a house as opulent? I doubt it.

      Those cost 3 million dollars where my sister lives. What you are thinking of, big mansions, cost more like $50 million. You are off by a order of magnitude.

      My shitty 100 year old two bedroom apartment is worth 700,000 dollars. That doesn’t make it opulent. It’s just the basic cost of living.

        Brother I consider living indoors opulent, and it sounds like your whole family is late for a guillotine appointment. Talking about how your “shitty” home is “only” worth three quarters of a million dollars is disgustingly entitled and ungrateful, I’m really hoping you aren’t real
