It annoys the heck out of much of the rest of the world but the truth is that Americans are staggeringly wealthy compared to nearly every other place on the planet. The US GDP per capita figures do translate into significant wealth for a large portion of the population.

Most don’t live like it and frankly the ones that show off typically are nowhere are wealthy as they’d like you to believe. Meanwhile the person driving an older model car and mowing their own grass has millions in the bank and doesn’t think twice about it.

Many are simply very wealthy but not materialistic.
