标题:How the Super-Rich Signal Their Wealth to Each Other


正文:Sturdy red curtains cordon off the lives of plutocrats at play. To better hide their gilded world from the 99.9%, the super-rich avoid high-end labels, favoring “quiet luxury” and “stealth wealth.” When this affluent army enters our world, they camouflage themselves with earthy-colored cashmere and luxurious suede. Yank back those curtains, however, and a quandary emerges for the highest of high-net-worth individuals. How to signal to each other where they rank on the totem pole? Today, especially with talk of new wealth taxes heating up, gauche display is out. A subtler set of cues and signifiers is required.


知识点:sturdy adj. /ˈstɜːrdi/

strong and not easily damaged结实的;坚固的

• a sturdy pair of boots⼀双结实的靴⼦

• a sturdy table结实的桌⼦
