I'm skeptical of your explanation because there are no "hangers-on" in that social class (the nouveau-riche have to worry about that) and status is only loosely correlated with wealth.

The more I think about, especially in Europe, the more it seems that status has little to do with money / wealth. It very much has to do with your values and the company you hold.
