When you step into someone's home for the first time, you can learn a lot about them. A home is not just a basic human right, it also serves as a status symbol. As the saying goes, "if you want to know me, come and live with me." Reddit users have been reminiscing about the items that made them realize their friends were wealthier than they initially thought.
Some may think of luxurious appliances like Smeg and AGA, or fancy fridge-freezers with ice dispensers. But in a recent thread on the AskReddit channel, some people shared even more luxurious possessions. One user, @295DVRKSS, revealed that their friend's father, an oil tycoon, had a T-Rex skeleton in their hallway. Another user, @Bigbird_Elephant, joked about a friend having a copy of Architectural Digest Magazine with their house on the cover. And for @LittleKitty235, it was a Monet painting in their office that made them realize their friend's wealth.
Even TikTokers have been discussing this topic. Some believe that an integrated bin is a sure sign of wealth. But it's not always about what you can see in someone's home; sometimes, it's what they hide away. As one user, @Scott1969, argued, the Monet painting you see may actually be a $30,000 forgery, and the real one is hidden away in a vault. This has been a subject of debate, as a previous thread on the @Less_Understanding77 channel showed.
Many people have their own opinions on what signifies wealth in a home. Some think it's a refrigerator door that blends into the cabinets, as mentioned by @Subject_Yard5652. Others believe it's heated tiles in the bathroom, like @AsterismRaptor suggested. And some, like @Reading_Otter, argue that simply owning a house in this economy is a sign of wealth.
But it's not just about specific items; even the small details can reveal someone's financial health. For example, proper insulation may indicate wealth, as @Reading_Otter pointed out. And having multiple sinks in a bathroom is considered the ultimate boujie offering.
The internet has also been discussing the concept of "bookshelf wealth." Interior designer @houseofhive shared in a TikTok video that bookshelves can reveal a lot about a person. In this design style, the books are not just for display, but they have been carefully curated and read. The shelves may also be filled with art, intentionally hung in a way that disregards traditional rules.
