Rich South African dress the part! From Gucci to Louis Vuitton and all the other brands you struggle to pronounce. Obviously this is a tricky one because its an area were the fake it until you make it try their luck but if you can afford a R15 000 Gucci belt or glasses surely you are rich because average people were R100 sun glasses.
3.Car

4.House
Whilst its easy to fake the money gang life and pretend to be part of the movement it’s hard to fake a nice house or neighbourhood. People with money usually have a nice house or live in a nice neighbourhood.

5. Spending habits /Lifestyle
Rich people love hanging out at exclusive and expensive places and a quick way to see how rich someone is would be to see where they eat and hang out. Their spending habits at clubs (popping expensive bottles all night can also be a good indicator.
