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?

    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
