Hi, Is there a word for people who pretend to be rich? Thank you.
I think imposter comes closest to it. There is also fraud, and there is pretender. Last edited: Oct 16, 2017
"Show-offs" or "exhibitionists", those who try to give people the impression that they are rich.
None of those suggestions is restricted to people who pretend to be rich. I know that. That's why I used the phrase "closest to it".
I suppose ' fake rich' or 'fake rich person' would do just fine to explain it. I am not a teacher.

above. I'm probably about to be proved wrong, but I don't think there is a specific word for someone who pretends to be rich. Out of curiosity, Jackson6612, is there a word in Hindi for it?
Thank you. Out of curiosity, Jackson6612, is there a word in Hindi for it? There isn't a specific word but there are few slang terms in Hindi which could convey the idea.
I can't think of a single word for it, but there are plenty of phrases. Depending on context, you could try: - a social climber I'm looking for a verb used on someone who doesn't have much in the pocket but strains to keep up his/her appearance through constant notions of luxuries he/she doens't really have. In Chinese we have sayings like "穷嘚瑟(flaunt with no money)" or "装大款(fake being rich)", which are often used in a sarcastic and informal tone; but I haven't had any luck finding any English equivalent yet. Also, is there an adjective for people behaving like that? Thanks a lot! asked Oct 19, 2017 at 2:38
