I had a friend in graduate school who drove an actual fucking Yugo. I rode in it once and started to roll the window down and he yelled "DON'T TOUCH THAT!" and the handle came off. Last guy in the world I would have thought was rich but he invited me to his family's house one weekend and it was a fucking compound of which the mansion was only part. His other car was a Range Rover.
He didn't really try to intentionally deceive anybody, he just never mentioned his wealth and of course he drove a Yugo. He lived in the same sort of shitty graduate student apartment that everybody else lived in. We talked about it once and he said that when people knew he came from money he couldn't have real friendships with anybody. They all wanted money from him or at least couldn't act normally around him. He could be friends with other rich kids but he hated them, to his credit.
Not all heirs are worth a chair.
Well, unless he's going around saying that he inherited all this money but wants people to think he earned it, your friend is in the clear.
