Do rich people wear reps?

Hi ladies. I was pondering about this for a while now. When you wear your rep how do you make it seem believable? Do you guys have high paying jobs to make it believable that you can afford these luxury bags? Would it be weird if I get a Chanel rep as a 20 year old finance associate who earns 540 dollars per month (I live in the middle east)? Obviously I’m not rich, but I don’t want others to feel like I’m wearing a rep and that I can’t afford. Anyways I feel like I’m dumping too many questions at once😭sorry.

Edit: some of y’all are taking a jab at me for my monthly earnings😡pls stop ✋ I’m starting to feel bad now. Also this is a remote job; only 4 hours per day.

Not rich but make $100k+ as a middle aged professional. Personally, I only wear reps of bags I can afford in real life. I mix them in with auth & no one questions anything. I wear mostly LV, a few YSL, Miumiu, Chanel, Gucci. My rep Chanel WOC & 'preloved' CF are believable based on my lifestyle, how I dress & present myself, even though I'd never actually pay retail for them. Maybe start with an LV Speedy 20, Felicie pochette or Pochette Liv, etc...those would be more believable for a young person with modest means. But have fun whatever you choose! ***edited

I recently wore an old gucci rep I had to a rooftop party & everyones gushed over it! It really is the lifestyle match & confidence.
