How do the rich live? We all have our own ideas about that.

Some come from stories about the lavish lifestyles of the rich and famous involving champagne fountains, yachts, closets of designer clothes, garages full of sports cars, and the like. Others come from what we see on social media and what the media portrays.

Take the Kardashian family. They're prime examples of the rich and the famous who seem like can do whatever they want with their deep pockets.

And though not every family member does it, they have a way of flaunting their wealth and privilege to the world. Other rich people though, often the richest and most successful, do the complete opposite.

Instead of using up their wealth every chance they could, they actually live absolutely basic lives just like the rest of us. Sure, they might have nicer things than us but they don't use their wealth to bathe in splendor and excess.

They simply choose not to.

These people were the topic of discussion on a Reddit thread that started with the question, "They say 'Money talks but wealth whispers,' what are the subtle signs of wealth?" And people who have seen these signs are painting out the difference between the rich and the filthy rich.
