Judging a man by the clothes he wears, the phone he uses, or the car he drives is like judging food based on the aroma of the dish. Fast food often has a better smell than home-cooked meals. Yet, homemade foods are more nutritious.
Yes, clothes, phones, and cars may project wealth, but they often signify fake wealth, not real wealth. People who are comfortable with their wealth do not announce it through such fickle things.
