2. Gold fixtures in your bathroom

Let's start off strong with the height of luxury. If you have a gold toilet in your bathroom, then you're definitely rich. There's a toilet covered in 18-karat gold that retails at $30,000. Apparently there are a lot of expensive bathroom things you can purchase like bidets and TVs and heated toilets. Would you want a gold toilet?

3. Girl, put your records on

You could be sitting on a fair amount of money and not even know it! Check out your vinyl collection (or your family's), because there are some that are worth thousands of dollars! If you had a record that valuable, would you sell it or keep it forever?

4. Crazy things you bought at an auction

Image Source: Reddit

Something in your house that definitely proves you're rich is that random thing you bought at an auction to display it in your home. For example, a dentist paid $31,200 for John Lennon's tooth. And Aubrey Hepburn's script from Breakfast At Tiffany's sold for $800,000. And to top it all, Marilyn Monroe's "Happy Birthday" gown sold for $4.8 MILLION!

5. You kept your old video game system

If you're anything like us, you spent HOURS glued to your TV trying to beat all the levels of Mario Bros while fighting with your siblings over whose turn it was. And now, it was all worth it! If you still have a (working) old school gaming system with some games, collectors will literally pay thousands to take them home!

6. An old-school typewriter

Image Source: Reddit

My parents have one of these in their attic, and now I'm thinking it might be time to sell it? Of course, the older the typewriter, and the better the condition it's in, the more valuable it is. If your family has a typewriter that dates back before the 1940s, and it works, it's worth to close to $1000.

7. You're a fossil collector

Image Source: Reddit

When you're so wealthy that having authentic fossils in your home is feasible, then, well, you've made it. Once upon a time, Nicolas Cage outbid Leonardo DiCaprio for a Mongolian dinosaur skull. What was the price tag? $276,000. THEN, the skull turned out to be stolen, so he had to hand it over to US authorities. Wild.

8. This one's kinda a given

Image Source: Reddit

You probably grew up in awe of your mom's jewelry box. It was full of so many sparkly things from bracelets to rings, earrings and necklaces. If it's high quality jewelry, you might want to get it appraised and insured, as it could be worth thousands.

9. You're obsessed with your steam microwave

Image Source: Quora

Apparently, the steam microwave is better for you than the radio waves from a traditional microwave. There are some that are more reasonably priced at over $500 and some that can cost over $6,000. Either way, if you have one of these in your kitchen, it's a sign that you're probably not living paycheck to paycheck.

10. If this is chump change to you, then you're rich

Image Source: Reddit

Sometimes, even morning Starbucks feels like a fortune. But if you have Kopi Luwak coffee in your pantry right now, then you rich rich. This coffee is $100... A CUP. It's a coffee that is in super high demand but only available in limited quantities. And yes, this is the cat poop coffee.

11. Besides the vinyls, check out your record player

Image Source: Reddit 

We already discussed that vintage vinyls could be worth thousands, depending on the record. The same is true for your old record player. You might need to get it refurbished, but a vintage one will sell for at least $500, with some of them selling for closer to $3,500!

12. A multi-car garage that's stocked

Image Source: Reddit

When you have extra money to spend, a lot of the wealthiest people like to collect cars. You probably have a luxury garage with climate control for your collection. Bill Gates can house up to 23 gars in his garage. What's your dream car if you had the cash to spare?

13. Your grubby kid fingers didn't know what you had

Image Source: Reddit

Okay, this is absolutely wild. If you colored with Crayola Crayons and happened to hold onto a box with vintage hues, it could be worth up to $500! Can you believe it? Back when you were coloring a yellow sun in the corner of your paper, you were sitting on a fortune!

14. This is part of your household

Image Source: Reddit

This isn't an item, but it's an essential to your home if you're rich. A household staff who runs your home, not so much like a butler, but more like a luxury hotel manager. This person handles everything from home management and other staff, similar to a small business.

15. You have not one, but two furry friends

Image Source: Reddit

This isn't what you think. We're not talking about just owning multiple pets. Did you know that you can actually get your favorite animal pal CLONED?! Yes, you're rich if you have two of the same dog in your house, and it will only cost you a cool $100K!

16. You're the go-to host for EXPENSIVE parties

Okay, so this isn't necessarily a household item, but if you're the go-to party queen, and this is your vibe... You're rich. When you throw a party, people talk about it for years to come, and you spare no expense. For example, Kim Kardashian threw a Christmas party that cost $1.3M. One party.

17. We didn't even know this was a thing

People that flash their black American Express don't hesitate to own a second passport. Did you know that? Apparently, it's a status symbol, because it just shows your friends that you can afford it. Definitely one of those things you don't need, so if you have this in your house, you're rich!

18. Is this really necessary?

You are rich if you have luxury ice cubes in your freezer right now. There's a company called Gläce Luxury Ice Co. that produces perfectly square blocks of ice. It's said that the design is for minimum dilution and maximum cooling. Each piece is hand carved and perfectly clear. A bag costs $325, and there are 50 cubes per bag.

19. You have these stored somewhere in your dining room

Image Source: Reddit

It's probable that you or something in your family inherited some silverware at some point. If you have it stored away for a special occasion, it might be time to bust it out. A full antique set is worth hundreds of dollars, so don't let that collection sit collecting dust!

20. Along the same line as auction items...

Image Source: Reddit

You collect movie memorabilia. You'd be shocked at how much these pieces cost, but it's not for the person who only has a few hundred dollars in their bank account. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!) But Elon Musk bought a car used in a James Bond film for $886,000.

21. Do you even still play this?

Image Source: Reddit

If you grew up in a musical family, you could have a musical instrument in your house right now that could make you some serious coinage! If you happen to have a vintage 1960s Fender Stratocaster, it will sell for over $2000! That's a nice chunk of change for your next vacation!

22. Maybe you have a clock like this in your house

Image Source: Reddit

You might be rich if your family kept that old wall clock and it's been passed down generation to generation. It's another one of those things you'll want to take in for an appraisal. If it's antique with a trademark, it could be worth around $1000 to a collector!

23. Time to raid your mom's closet

Image Source: Reddit

This might be a tough sell to get your mom to hand these over, but if she's willing to let go of her vintage Chanel bag, help her put it back on the market. It may be out of style, BUT everything comes back around, and secondhand designer bags in good condition often sell for more than double their original price.

24. You own a whole one of these

Image Source: Reddit

This isn't a household item, but you probably have a house ON it. The rich rich love to buy private islands. A lot of these islands cost upwards of $300 million, depending on the location and size, of course. But yeah if your household sits on one of these, you're definitely rich!

25. Your grandma definitely made you one

Image Source: Reddit

That patchwork quilt that your grandma gave you at some point in your life could be worth thousands of dollars today. We all love to cozy up with these on a cold night, but if yours are just in storage, then you might want to look into selling. The quality and handcrafted vibe is something people are looking for.

26. The avid reader probably has these

Image Source: Reddit

Did you know that first-edition classics of books can retail for anywhere from $100 to more than $1000?! So if your parents kept copies of your favorite children's books (like The Velveteen Rabbit), you might be rich! Now we know how much Chandler Bing spent on that first-edition for Joey's girlfriend.

27. If your family had game nights

Image Source: Reddit

Similar to the books, if you have any collector's-editions of board games, then you could be sitting on some moneyyyy! Especially if the game is in mint condition and a rare find, some of them are worth thousands! Go check your game closet right now!

28. You have one of these in your wallet

Image Source: Reddit

If your dream is a Platinum Card, dream bigger. Centurion costs you $10,000 just to join, but the perks are insane. You can get backstage at concerts, donate to your favorite causes, get the best tables at the impossible-to-get restaurant, fly to Paris tomorrow, and more. Honestly, this is goals.

29. A theater room where you do this

Image Source: Reddit

Having a theater room in your house definitely means you're well off, but if you wanna take it even further, did you know that rich people host private movie premieres in their homes?! It costs over $20,000 to hose one and gives people the convenience of seeing brand new theater releases in the privacy of their home theater.

30. Someone from your school got famous

Image Source: Reddit

Okay, we've never thought of this. But if someone you went to school with ended up to be a famous athlete or celebrity, and they signed your yearbook... You are sitting on a small fortune, my friend. So dig it out and have someone assess it for authenticity and sell that puppy!

31. Smart tech, everywhere

image source: reddit.com

We're not talking one or two smart items here - we're talking a huge house, fully equipped with a million smart devices in every room. There's nothing in your home that isn't 'smart' down to every single lightbulb in the home, the heating, the sound, the door lock... you name it.

32. And that goes for a smart hub, too

image source: reddit.com

And what do you need to bring all that smart tech together? A smart hub, of course! Seeing a smart hub in someone's home is the mark that they have money to burn, because it means they have enough smart devices in their home to warrant needing a hub in the first place!

33. You probably own more than one house

image source: reddit.com

When you have money, you have more than one house - period. You likely have a vacation home that you don't use permanently alongside your main residence, and let's be honest, this vacation home is going to be just as fancy and expensive as your main home is! Probably equipped with smart tech, too...

34. A surround sound speaker system

image source: reddit.com

The perfect surround sound system takes a lot of time to get right, and even more cash dollar. You just know someone with an optimum sound system had money to put into it. People who don't have to worry about cash definitely prioritize being able to hear their TV shows a little bit more clearly.

35. Your TV is massive, let's be honest

image source: reddit.com

There likely isn't a single rich person in the world who thought "No, you know what? I'll keep the 29 inch, thanks". Going out and splurging on the biggest TV you can find is the hallmark of 'mine's bigger than yours - and you need one to pair with that surround sound system.

36. You likely have the option of a theater projector

image source: reddit.com

People with a little extra cash often have projectors as a bonus, too. You don't really need a projector as well as a TV, but when you can afford it... you just do. It's clear that someone putting money into a projector is putting a lot of money into expensive home entertainment systems!

37. You have a fully kitted-out gaming room

image source: reddit.com

This is another huge bonus that homes want rather than need - and it's one of the most expensive bonuses of all! Because not only does a full gaming room you have space and time (and money) to have one, you also know that the sum total of every expensive gadget in there is going to be pretty darn big.

38. And some virtual reality tech, too

image source: reddit.com

And what's the piece de resistance? A bit of VR tech, of course. Something else that's most definitely an extravagance that people with money can afford! VR tech is like the icing on the cake for all the other gadgets you've got in your gaming room, and it's the perfect (expensive) finishing touch.

39. You have at least one pool table

image source: reddit.com

There's just something about a 'billiard's room' that screams money - Elvis had one at Graceland, after all! It's like the ultimate indulging purchase for people with spare cash and people who regularly host expensive parties for all their rich guests while they all play pool, of course!

40. That novelty jukebox

image source: reddit.com

'Novelty' is right, because you definitely don't need one of these things, especially with that modern smart tech and surround sound system, but you have one anyway for the sake of nostalgia and because you can afford it so why not? It's an expensive talking point.

41. A super modern kitchen

image source: reddit.com

If there's one area you can tell how much money someone has, it's the kitchen. Either that or they have a wad sitting in their bank account because they decided not to do an expensive renovation. Either way, a super duper sleek and modern smart kitchen is the mark of a person with money!

42. Every kitchen gadget under the sun

image source: reddit.com

And of course what does every super duper modern kitchen need? Every super duper modern gadget in existence! The shelves, counters and tables of your ultra-modern kitchen are lined with every gadget you could find, and half of them you've probably never used.

43. Your refrigerator probably speaks to you

image source: reddit.com

One of the biggest areas in a kitchen you can put money into is your refrigerator. Not only does a huge double refrigerator say 'money' (both because of the fridge, but because it means you can afford expensive and huge grocery shops) but it's also likely the 'smartest' fridge around that tells you how much stock you have left.

44. Your stove is the biggest anyone has ever seen

image source: reddit.com

This one is like a triple threat in terms of 'person with money'! First, you have the massive stove itself: that cost a lot of money to buy, everyone can see that. Second, you have the fact you need one: this means you likely entertain a lot of friends and spend money on doing so. And thirdly? You can afford ALL the gourmet cooking that goes on on/in that thing!

45. Your bed is XXXXL

image source: reddit.com

Superior comfort is an absolute luxury for most people, and beds can get pretty expensive when you need to think about the frame and the mattress both. It's no issue for someone with cash to spare, though. So if yours is the biggest around, it means you also spent a fortune on a mattress that size!

46. Bath? More like jacuzzi

image source: reddit.com

Next to the kitchen, the bathroom is probably the next room you can easily tell how much money someone has put into it. So if you've ditched the old bathtub or standard shower for a complete jacuzzi bath AS WELL as all the standard fittings, well - you obviously can afford it!

47. Artwork worth more than most people's homes

image source: reddit.com

Artwork in itself can be a very expensive hobby if you're always on the lookout for original or unique pieces. So if your walls are littered with paintings (and not just one expensive one, but a ton of them) that can only mean one thing... it's a very expensive collection indeed.

48. Your own infinity pool

image source: reddit.com

It doesn't matter if your home came with a pool or not, you made sure it had one in there eventually! And you weren't going to settle for any pool, either. The infinity pool is the true mark of anyone being able to afford to have it installed and built in their presumably-huge back garden.

49. Monogrammed towels

image source: reddit.com

Seriously, if there's anything more a mark of the rich, it's monogrammed towels. It's something so simple but it can reveal a lot! Either that or it's a mark of a person with average income who likes to waste a lot of money on monogrammed towels... but you do you.

50. A complete home gym

image source: reddit.com

A lot of people lament having to pay a gym membership every month - but you? No, you don't need to worry about that. You don't even need to go to the gym seeing as you've spent an absolute fortune on building your own home gym with every piece of expensive gym equipment known to man.
