That is slightly different.
Wealthy people who want to signal wealth display conspicuously expensive things, which pineapples once were. That’s obvious enough. Luxury beliefs are about expressing class, which is distinct from wealth though somewhat correlated.
In fact, signaling wealth, or signaling it crudely enough, often signals lower class.
