I used to think that a snob is a person rich person who looks down on people who aren't rich.
This is the meaning of snob according to Cambridge dictionary- "A person who respects and likes only people who are of a high social class, and/or a person who has extremely high standards who is not satisfied by the things that ordinary people like."
It doesn't say anything about the financial condition of the snob. I wonder if a person who isn't rich can be a snob. I know a lot of people who aren't really rich but wants to be around rich people and buy gucci, prada, etc, just to look rich.
This one time a guy at the gym (who isn't rich) didn't even want to talk to me until he saw my car. Can he be called a snob?
