I sat and spoke with this one woman who was very lady like and by comparison quiet. We talked about travel, education and some other common interest topics that we found. I did not know anything else about her though when I left.

In speaking with my uncle the next day I learned that this lady was not a millionaire like the others in the room but an heiress to billions of dollars. She had so much class though that she knew she did not need to tell everyone to impress them.

You can have cash without class and class without cash but to have both is a bit of an art form.
