Bill Gates doesn't care about brands
Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, but he doesn't take care of his wardrobe at all. Gates is of the opinion that he does not need expensive clothes, and they are absolutely useless. The billionaire is often seen in torn clothes, he believes that things should be functional, but no more. Outwardly, Gates looks like an ordinary guy who does not stand out from the crowd. Bill's number one priority is intellectual development rather than a luxurious lifestyle.

Zuckerberg loves funny hoodies
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg also doesn't pay attention to his wardrobe. He doesn't care what he's wearing. He is criticized for wearing sweatshirts with strange and funny images. It is strange to see one of the richest people in ridiculous sweatshirts that absolutely do not correspond to his status. It is thanks to Mark that the sweatshirt has become popular in the IT field, and it is worn by leading experts in the world. More than once, Mark surprised everyone by coming to work in pajamas, in which he sleeps at home. He explains this by saying that he does not have time to choose things for the wardrobe.

But he is of the opinion that black is a symbol of power.

The founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, differed from other rich people in that he always wore a black turtleneck (Issey Miyake personally sewed several dozen turtlenecks for him), Levi's jeans, and New Balance sneakers on his feet.
It was thanks to the black turtleneck that Jobs became recognizable all over the world. After his death, the number of sales of black turtlenecks increased several times. Such clothes became the hallmark of Steve Jobs, it was in this way that he was remembered by millions of people around the world.

2. Leonardo DiCaprio
Many people, having seen pictures of the world's favorite in everyday life, do not guess the first time that he is the same Leo. This is not at all surprising, since an ordinary T-shirt, worn jeans and a cap do not attract attention at all and do not indicate his millionth fortune.

This is just a unique person whose deeds deserve public recognition.

10 & 11 Scott Farquhar & Mike Cannon-Brooks
If you met these two men on the street, you would never guess that they are the owners of a huge fortune. What is most interesting is that they became billionaires quite by accident (I wish everyone did that).

In fact, the man is the founder of the popular clothing brand - Zara, and has more than $ 80 billion in his bank account. Ortega is known to the public for his modesty, and he runs from journalists like fire.
When one young bouncer said in the theater that he was smart, because he talked with many philosophers, Epictetus remarked to him: “Here I have many rich acquaintances, but still I am not rich.”
The expression "rich look" has always been synonymous with vulgarity, loudness and bad taste. "Rich" looked nouveau riche and parvenu. But time passed, the world changed - this concept was filled with a different meaning. In the modern world, looking rich means being elegant and stylish, unobtrusively demonstrating your success and taste. But in a rich way - yes, it's ridiculous and vulgar.
How to become rich and successful
According to psychologists, nothing determines a person's success in life, career, business as much as his psychological state. If you want to become rich and successful, change your thoughts, mental attitudes and appearance. You will not believe, but it works unconditionally. Self-confidence, self-esteem, a positive outlook on the world, openness, plus discreet chic in clothes will attract well-being to you. So if you want to make good money, take the trouble to work on your appearance and acquire gloss. A guideline for you will be the proven 7 golden rules for men.
1. Natural elegance
The effort you put in to look presentable should be invisible. It is possible that you have been honing your unique style over the years. But only you should know about it. It should seem to everyone else that the ability to look your best is innate in you. He inherited from his grandfather, a financier, along with antique cufflinks.
2. No labels
Your clothes should emphasize yours and style, and not tell bluntly about the contents of the wallet. Let the people around you guess in which designer's atelier your suit and shirt were sewn. An accomplished person will never allow himself to show "insignia". This cheap way is the lot of those who splurge, but in fact they are nothing. However, in each circle, certain signs are in use, indicating the status of this or that gentleman. Deal with them and give the right signals.
3. Less words
A rich and successful person does not show off to everyone around him about his purchases, transactions, projects ... He is generally laconic about what concerns his affairs. Unlike the poor and unsuccessful, who, for example, having bought a fake under some brand at a sale, boasts for a long time and revels in such a successful operation. One can only feel sorry for the poor man - he has no other achievements. You prove your worth with real achievements.
4. Stylish restraint
Minimalism or purism is your style. No bright colors and creative styles. Only classic! And it's not boring at all. Even within these frameworks, there is an opportunity to stand out, to find your “zest”. For example, always wear fresh, carefully pressed shirts. These can only be shirts with a stand-up collar or "loaf". Or maybe you prefer thin natural wool jumpers with a neckline. We will not talk about polished shoes - this goes without saying. Thanks to such tricks, you will successfully stand out and be noticed.
5. Imperfection
Clothing should not be, as they say, brand new. You must have heard that in the old days no English lord went out into society in a suit he had just bought. Up to this point, for several days he had been “wearing up” ... the butler. This lovely tradition, I think, is still alive today. “Too” new things, as well as some other moments, for example, a perfect haircut, a perfectly shaved chin, manicured hands, can give you away, telling others that you have only recently learned the taste of big money and are unconsciously trying to emphasize your unusual status. Act like you were born with silver spoon and always slept on silk sheets.
6. Ease and negligence
Carelessness does not mean inaccuracy. Rather, it is the lack of rigor in appearance and manner of dressing. Successful people today do not wear strict classic suits with perfectly pressed arrows. They dress simpler and allow themselves such slight negligence as the absence of a tie, an unbuttoned top button of a shirt, a soft jumper instead of a jacket, thereby demonstrating inner emancipation. And traditional costumes quietly moved into the category of uniforms for drivers, security guards and office workers. The rich prefer casual - urban casual style.
7. In the spotlight
To look rich means not only to dress elegantly and expensively, but also to be able to behave, to feel confident and relaxed, to be a witty interlocutor and an attentive listener. Such people certainly attract the eyes of others. Do not be afraid of other people's evaluating views, do not look away. Get used to being the center of attention, enjoying it, as it should be for a successful and rich person.
Learn these simple rules, follow them, enter into a habit that will soon, as expected, become second nature. And that's where success comes in.
7 golden rules in the "female" performance
In general, the rules for impressing a rich person are the same for men and women.
- Women's elegance should also look natural, not strained, adjusted to the smallest detail.
- Showing labels is not allowed. Only the “daughters of the janitor”, and not the lady, allow themselves this.
- Talking about your purchases and especially disclosing their cost is bad manners.
- Minimalism welcomes in the ladies' look. Do not overload the style with details, do not dazzle with colors, do not “excess” with decorations.
- Women's items should also not signal that they are fresh from the store. On the contrary, they are loved and worn for a long time.
- Urban casual style - casual - is just as loved by ladies who have taken place in the profession, successful in business.
- The ability to calmly and favorably respond to other people's views, not to be afraid of attention is a hallmark of rich women.
But still there are some purely feminine rules on how to look rich.
1. Quality
It's a fetish of the rich. Let things be less, but they will be of high quality. As the saying goes, less is more. With special predilection they choose shoes, gloves and bags, as well as accessories. And they wear things made from natural fabrics: cashmere, linen, silk, cotton.
2. Color
The rich prefer sophisticated colors in their clothes: black, white, all shades of gray and brown, blue, bottle, burgundy and pastels. Also, plain fabrics. This is a win-win option, because such clothes are especially elegant. Drawing is allowed on scarves and shawls.
3. Lack of vulgarity
This means not only that the rich don't wear tracksuits as everyday streetwear, but also that they don't use self-tanners, don't tan in tanning salons, don't put on kilos of makeup. The rich tend to take care of their health, so they do not sunbathe even in resorts. By the way, the natural whiteness of the skin is becoming a trend. The rich are also characterized by a sense of proportion, so they use cosmetics very carefully, only slightly emphasizing their eyes and lips. They do not wear a breathtaking neckline, high heels and mini on the verge of obscenity.
4. Style, not fashion
The rich don't go after fashion, they don't buy trendy things. A rich wardrobe is stylish, simple and high-quality clothing that emphasizes individuality. Perfect fit. Feminine, but not sexy.
5. Self care
Rich people look younger than their years. They are fit, athletic, well-groomed, they do not have excess weight. It is clear that care requires a lot of money - beauticians, massage therapists, fitness trainers ... But the rich do not save on health and appearance. Sleekness is also healthy shiny hair, good color face, clean skin, well-groomed hands.
6. Imperfect
If the rich were perfectionists, then in the past. They have already proved everything to themselves and the world and allowed themselves to be imperfect. This means that the hairstyle is not very fashionable and not hair to hair - it seems that the wind has disheveled the hair. There is no exaggerated sleekness and excessive gloss in everything.
7. Vintage
The rich appreciate things with history. They are happy to rummage through the ruins of junk dealers, fishing out sometimes wonderful things. And they do not believe in stupid reasoning that someone else's clothes have bad energy. On the contrary, things that are given a second life bring good luck to the new owners. They are rich women. Free, without complexes and prejudices, elegant and stylish. Being like that is easy.
The “destroy cabinets” movement is gaining momentum.
“Fast Fashion” comes into fashion. This is when people deliberately “do not bother” about their style. And they put on in the morning the first thing they felt when they were awake.
This is the answer of the best representatives of the modern world to the imposed culture of “following trends”. But it's not just protest.
Today, what is “practical” and does not take “too much time” is fashionable.
The trend, oddly enough, was laid not by a fashionista at all, but by a businessman. Steve Jobs. Everyone knows that in the second half of his life he adhered to the same dress code: Levi's blue classic jeans, a black turtleneck with a high neck and white New Balance athletic shoes.
Mark Zuckerberg does the same. He does not cheat on dark blue jeans and a gray t-shirt or sweatshirt. 
It was with the filing of these two that the phenomenon became mainstream. At least in the United States.
If you've ever wondered why the hell some billionaires wear the same "UG" every day when they can afford absolutely any outfit, then here are 6 compelling reasons why they do it.
1. Less decisions - less fatigue.
This phenomenon has already been noticed and proven by psychologists. It is even written about on Wikipedia. The bottom line is that for your brain there is no difference whether you make an important decision or not. Deciding what to wear before a trip to the office, he will spend as much energy as deciding whether to ask his boss for a raise.
For people who make important decisions every day, removing even one daily question from life is already something. Refuse to answer “extra” questions - and you will have more mental space and energy for other important things and tasks.
This rule is followed, for example, by US President Barack Obama.
“You may have noticed that I only wear gray and blue suits. I'm trying to reduce the number of decisions I make. And I don't want to think about what I eat or wear. I have many other important questions to answer!”. 
All the details related to his wardrobe and food are decided by his wife Michelle.
Mark Zuckerberg does the same for the same reasons. Moreover, the young billionaire still drives an old Honda Accord. He just does not want to change the car so that he does not have to waste time “adapting” to it.
Well, you get the idea: this guy doesn't buy a Ferrari just because he doesn't want to learn how to drive one!
“I feel like I won't be able to do my job if I spend energy and energy on stupid and unnecessary things in life, and not dedicate myself to creating new products and services,” he explains.
We don’t even suspect how much we can do if we don’t do anything extra in life. But as soon as you start doing this, you will realize that you have discovered a new life full of freedom and opportunities!
Five years ago, I first tried the Project 333 experiment. The idea was to reduce the number of personal items to 33 in three months. A wildly simple idea turned out to be wildly useful.
I quickly discovered the main benefit of a minimalist wardrobe: you give yourself time. In the morning, it becomes easier for you to get ready for work. You do not waste time on tedious shopping. Spend less time washing and ironing.
3.Less stress.
Mathilde Kahl, an art director from New York, also wears the same outfit every day. She believes that this allows her to get rid of the “extra stress” associated with the need to think over her appearance just a few minutes after waking up.
“Is this too formal? And this is somehow vulgar? Is this dress too short? Whatever choice I made, then often I still regretted it already on the street. Now I know that a silk white shirt and black trousers are always a great choice. And you said no to another source of anxiety throughout the day,” she explains.
4. Less time is wasted.
Christopher Nolan has created some of the coolest commercial films in history. "Start", for example. Or Interstellar. And also “The Prestige”, “Remember” and the last two “Batmen”.
So, in an interview with New York Times Magazine, he said that “deciding what to wear every morning means wasting your life.” Now he does not change the narrow dark jacket, blue shirt and black trousers.
Nolan is concerned not only with the decision problem, but also with the time spent shopping and then folding and rearranging clothes in the closet.
5. This is a sign of maturity.
Alice Gregory, a writer from New York, in an interview with J. Crew magazine noted that people should treat clothes like uniforms, but the fashion industry has powdered their brains.
“Clothing is the cheapest, easiest and smartest way to feel like a celebrity. And if you continue to dress up until now, then this is rather a sign of mental immaturity. Because with age, everyone's priorities change. Only as you get older do you realize that comfort is more important. fashion trends' she explains.
Alice herself always wears only dark sweaters and jeans.
6.Less money will be wasted.
The average American spends $1,700 a year on clothes. Ukrainians spend about 10% of their budget on it. It may not seem like much, but in most cases you spend money on clothes, although you don’t need them at all. In 1930, the average American woman had 9 outfits. Now there are 30 of them, and this figure is growing.
If you weren't so careful about your image, you would probably find a better use for this money.
We are representatives of a society that is drowning in unnecessary things. People need at least a breath of freedom in their daily consumer slavery. Try something new: get rid of half the contents of your closet! And you will realize that you have more to grow. On the mental level.
In the end, those who preach the principles of minimalism work better, experience less stress, get distracted less, spend less money, and have more peace of mind in their lives.
Guys, we put our soul into the site. Thanks for that
for discovering this beauty. Thanks for the inspiration and goosebumps.

If you have been trying to pay off all your debts and start saving for a long time, but nothing works, then it is time to reconsider your attitude to spending. All successful people - businessmen, investors, billionaires - are united by a very pragmatic attitude towards expenses.
In vain, someone thinks that rich people like to overspend. We are in website analyzed what different publications around the world write about billionaires, and found several categories of purchases that the wealthy and successful prefer not to spend money on. Unlike you and me.
impulsive shopping
Take a nice, but unnecessary thing at a discount and, when you come home, regret it: who hasn’t happened to? We all sometimes spend money on impulsive purchases, and this sets us apart from the billionaires, for whom extra jeans just won’t do the weather. But, as investor and billionaire Warren Buffett said, “If we buy what we don’t need, we will soon have to sell the things we need.” An effective way to avoid spending on unnecessary things is to make a shopping list before going to the store.
Expensive real estate
Extended warranties
People with modest incomes are more likely to agree to offers of an extended warranty when buying new equipment: they are the ones who worry more about the fact that the thing can be damaged, and as a result overpay. Although, according to U. S. News Money, a manufacturer's warranty is more than enough.
Clothing and footwear of elite brands
Millionaires can afford luxurious clothes from the new collections of the most expensive designers, but if their life is not connected with frequent appearances, then they prefer not to do this. Remember how Steve Jobs dressed. Bill Gates' watch costs $10, Roman Abramovich does not consider it shameful to appear in public in a T-shirt for 700 rubles. , and the wife of the heir to the British throne often goes out in mass-market clothes.
Latest Gadgets
A wealthy person will not chase the latest model of a smartphone or watch, even if their gadget has already gone out of fashion, has lost its appearance or is obsolete. Millionaires use a different mechanism for making purchasing decisions: they calculate how appropriate a given spending will be at the present time. Rapidly cheaper electronics rarely justifies the money spent.
Credits, commissions and penalties for deferred payments
Wealthy people don't take out loans or spend money on fines, penalties, and fees for one simple reason: they always pay on time, never delinquent. Dollar billionaire investor Mark Cuban said, "If you use a credit card, you just don't want to be rich."
Lots of trendy toys for kids
Unhealthy food
The most important difference between a millionaire's menu and what a person with modest income usually eats is not the cost of food at all. Rich people are literally obsessed with healthy eating. They can eat the same grains and vegetables as mere mortals, but they are unlikely to eat shawarma, hamburgers, french fries and salads heavily sprinkled with mayonnaise from the prepared food section of the supermarket.
Representation expenses
This includes the cost of creating the image of a rich and successful person. In other words, to splurge. For chic banquets, business class flights, new cars, people who want to appear richer throw out huge sums. Whereas the truly successful often live very modestly. For example, the founder of IKEA, Ingvar Kamprad, flew economy class and drove an old Volvo, and Queen Elizabeth II of England saves electricity at Buckingham Palace.
Additional education for children
People with average incomes often hire different teachers for their child. Some do it with the hope of discovering a talent that will give him a ticket to a happy, comfortable life. Others believe that with the help of tutors, the child will better learn the material. Rich people relying on personal experience know that extra lessons are no guarantee of financial success in the future, and allow children to enjoy their childhood.
Psychics, fortune tellers and soothsayers
New finishing materials and furniture styles appear almost every month. Representatives of the middle class, following the latest trends, spend money on what is fashionable at the moment. A few years later, their interior already looks irrelevant: no one buys floral wallpaper, bright geometric ornaments are in fashion. It's time to change everything! If you look at the interiors of rich people, it is often impossible to understand how old they are. Painted walls, whitewashed ceiling and wooden or tiled floors are a time-honoured option.
It is difficult to change financial habits: along the way, you will have to reconsider your current lifestyle, make adjustments to your worldview. What expenses could you easily give up, and what are you not ready to sacrifice even for the sake of a brighter future?
