I'm sure the "proof of wealth" kinda went like:

Ah, so you can afford pants and shirt?

Well how about a fancier shirt?

Yes? Well how about a jaunty hat.

Yes? What about fancy shoe buckles?

Yes? How about stockings?

Yes? Well now I've got a wig beneath my jaunty hat.

That too? How about makeup and perfume then!

Maybe an unnecessary cane. A gold chain sticking out so you know I have a nice watch hidden away. My fanciest kerchief sticking out of my pocket. See how white?

Today, we just post our expensive possessions on social media so you don't have to wear your proof.
