My boss (in a PE firm) is at least 10-20x wealthier than the average successful law firm partner and he drives around in cars which won't be considered fancy. We have several domestic individual LPs whose net worth will be in the hundrers of crores and then also don't all drive around in fancy cars, some do and other don't, some also stay in flats - 3 BHKs in societies where you wouldn't expect someone that wealthy staying. I am also friends with a few senior advocates; and some drive German cars and others don't - and these guys would be earning in many times what a successful law firm partner, who is at least a couple of standard deviations away from the mean, would be earning.
No one gives a shit - certainly not your clients and certainly not most professional acquaintances.
I have a rental tie-up with a neighboring retailer who supplies cars and driver as needed. For regular days I use Uber. For travel and meeting heavy days, I have my guy supply cars with drivers.
Confidence doesn't come from a car. It comes from within.
