Of the truly rich today, can you honestly say that they are more attractive than average? I’m not seeing it. I’m not talking Hollywood level but much higher, generational wealth levels. I realize that it’s hard to get data on this but just anecdotally, there aren’t many examples that come to mind.

Depends on what you mean by “truly rich” I guess. Most of the tech billionaires come from upper middle class families. They don’t generally have trophy spouses. I do believe that the old money people i interact with are generally more attractive than average, yes.

I wonder how much of that is genetics and how much of that is lifelong access to excellent health care, nutrition, exercise, clothing, sleep, etc?

Being poor or even lower middle class is hard on the body. And it shows. Big time.

Top 5-10 richest people isn't enough of a sample set to draw any conclusions. Compare the million richest vs million poorest people in the world and the answer will be obvious.
