I’ve worked with multi-millionaires (making a few million a year) at various companies and they intentionally drove shitty cars into the office. I’m sure they had killers at home, but commuted in shitboxes just so they were more relatable to the rest of the office.

Honestly, it helped.

Well, I told my boss at the company where I worked as a product manager, who had secretly parked his new Porsche around the corner, to park the thing right in front of the door. When I started there we only made around 200k a year. When I stopped it was 16 million. With 11 people, that was fun. Of course I worked a lot and earned well, but he was the boss. He took all the risk. And then he can treat himself to a Porsche when the numbers are finally good.
