Actually, would argue many costly cars like Rolls, Lambo, etc merely advertise lack of significant net worth and/or ability to read/count...

Most of the hedge fund/pvt equity billionaires in Manhattan are driven around in scuffed-up blk S550s...

Many of the somewhat literate/numerate wealthy in BeverlyHills drive nondescript blk/blk or slvr/blk, new 65s w/zero aftermkt nonsense....

I somewhat agree on that. Most folks that really have money, don't drive those types of cars.

There are no "cheap" subsidized leases on these cars(hard to be a pretender at $400-500k prices),average net worth of typical owners is in excess of $30mln (not including primary residence),so they are not really that poor.
Those guys driven in S550/600/65s to work ,have at least 5-6 other cars in their garages,very often Phantoms,Lambos, etc.
MB is to them just another daily appliance....
