At one of my first jobs I noticed a lot of nice cars in the lot and mentioned to my trainer that the bosses there must get paid real well. He corrected me: The nice cars were all the floor staff. Bosses all drove the cheapest cars in the lot.
My wife nannied for a family in college. He was a plastic surgeon who owned his own private practice. They lived in a $1m+ house (which is the top 5% of houses in our area) and he drove a Volvo from the 80's. There's something to be said about keeping a low profile. I guess when you're super rich, you don't really need to flaunt it.
