Welcome to another episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show! Today, I’m shedding light on one of the most misunderstood secrets in wealth-building—why the truly rich keep their wealth quiet and what that means for living a life of freedom, choice, and peace of mind.
If you’ve ever thought that being rich means showing off the fancy car, watch, or taking extravagant trips, let’s flip that script. In this episode, I dive deep into the reality behind loud wealth—the hidden stress, the debt, and the attention from scammers and opportunists. I’ll walk you through why acting broke (not literally poor, but quietly and respectfully wealthy) actually protects your relationships, your sanity, and, yes, even your safety.
We’ll explore practical action steps to audit your expenses, rethink your relationship with social media, and use the power of financial camouflage as a secret weapon. I’ll show you why stacking assets—not brands—is how the rich stay rich, and how you can redirect just one status purchase into building your own money machine.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:
- Why announcing your wealth is the fastest way to lose it
- The psychological burden and hidden stress behind performing wealth
- Action steps to audit expenses and reduce image-driven spending
- How social media invites judgment and scammers
- The silent advantage of flying under the radar, negotiating better deals, and avoiding “rich person surcharges”
- Real-life role models of quiet wealth and what you can learn from their habits
- How to define your “freedom number” and build your money machine

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
