I know of lots of "old money" old timers that aren't flashing Patek watches, driving Lambo to the grocery store, buying million dollar penthouses for there children.
It's a mentality difference between Western & Asian culture.
Most of the image chasing is coming from Asians from first hand experience they love to show off. I don't blame them either because I would do the same.
There's lots of rich Caucasians, Persian, E.Indians, Europeans in Vancouver too that are keeping low key under the radar but are mega rich.
