stealth wealth

Individuals who would be considered extremely wealthy (top .01% of society) from the looks of their bank accounts, but choose to remain understated and quiet about their wealth.

Stealth Wealth

Stealth wealth is the practice of keeping your true wealth hidden from others — even friends and family members.

Stealth Wealth Wagon

When you truly have big money and don't have to 'prove it' with a tacky matte black Tesla or a Porsche 911 draped in carbon fiber, you go for a Stealth Wealth Wagon, which is essentially a luxury sedan with a big ass. Stealth Wealth Wagons are ALWAYS European and include the Volvo V90, V60, V70 and XC70, the Audi A4 and A6 allroad/avant, the BMW 3 or 5-series Touring, the Jaguar XF Sportbrake and by far the most popular of the bunch, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon. While Europeans may view the aforementioned cars as taxis or mundane family shuttles, the Stealth Wealth Wagon is a symbol of old money, refinement, elegance and subdued class in America. Everyone and their mother has an SUV or a sedan, but a Stealth Wealth Wagon is almost always bought, and never leased. People go through their Q5s and E350s faster than Pete Davidson goes through girlfriends, but part of the reason that Stealth Wealth Wagons are so hard to find used is because they are typically retained by their first owners for a loooong time. For that reason, they either have insanely low or insanely high mileage. When you see a Stealth Wealth Wagon, new or old, ALWAYS assume the person driving has fuck-you money. They're a part of a highly exclusive club.
Marin County, Beverly Hills, Pacific Heights, the North Shore, Petoskey, Shaker Heights, Georgetown, Buckhead, Asheville, Middleburg, Hilton Head, Savannah, the Main Line, the UES, the Hamptons, the Hudson Valley, all of Fairfield and Westchester Counties, especially Greenwich, Princeton/Charlottesville/Ann Arbor, Wellesley, the Cape and Islands, and Bar Harbor are all places where you'll have a high likelihood of running into a Stealth Wealth Wagon.
