Some wealthy people don't give a shit whether you believe they have wealth. You don't need to prove anything to anyone until and unless you make an offer. Ask questions, and don't answer questions. Give vague, short responses and neglect to elaborate.
It also doesn't matter how you dress or the car you drive. The wealthiest person I've ever met dressed in sweat pants or jeans 99% of the time and drove like a 5 year old standard suv most of the time.
I only found out he was rich when I was talking to another employee at the mall where I worked that this guy would regularly come into the jewelry store and drop 25k on watches for friends like once or twice a month.
Once I was in the jewelry store when he and his wife were in to get her ring cleaned and my friend casually asked how much they paid for the ring and he was like idk I got diamond wholesale from a friend in the jewelry trade for 250k and paid some Private designer to design the ring and make it for them by hand.
