We all know about the concept of a snob, "a person with an exaggerated respect for high social position or wealth who seeks to associate with social superiors and looks down on those regarded as socially inferior."
Snobbery isn't really a thing. That's not to say it doesn't exist, but it doesn't really happen.
But Reverse Snobbery is most definitely a thing, "a person overly proud of being one of or sympathetic to the common people, and who denigrates or shuns those of superior ability, education, social standing, etc."
You can be accused of being a Snob for simply having highbrow tastes or lifestyle, irrespective of how you treat others.
Rich people can't win. You could donate boatloads of money to charity, and people will still hate you.
"There Is No Escape Being Viewed As Arrogant If You Have More
If you have more money or more success in any aspect of your life, you will always be viewed as arrogant by others who have less. No matter what comes out of your mouth or what you write, there is no escape from the bitterness of some people.
Your detractors don't see the countless hours you've put into your business, craft, or hobby. All they see is the end product that looks so easy to them, yet somehow they can't replicate your work. Instead they complain.
Why do you think people with a lot of money end up just hanging out with each other? They just want to be themselves. When they talk about which car to buy, they don't want to be viewed as snobs just because they prefer to drive a Mercedes Benz S-Class over a Toyota Avalon.
To the rich, it's just car that provides solid performance and ultimate safety for their family! But to those who cannot afford a $100,000 automobile, speaking of S-Class Mercedes smells of pompous arrogance."

You Will Always Be Viewed As Arrogant If You Have More
About five years ago, I played league tennis for a private club. The league included three other private clubs and four public teams who played out of the various parks. I put the word 'private' in quotations because anybody can join. If you are under 30, your $500 initiation fee is waved...
