Thomas J. Stanley has been examining the truly rich for years. A former university professor, he’s the co-author of “The Millionaire Next Door.” It should have a permanent spot in your home library. Late last year, he released “Stop Acting Rich . . . and Start Living Like a Real Millionaire”.

Here are some highlights from the Washington Post…

• Eighty-six percent of all prestige or luxury makes of motor vehicles are driven by people who are not millionaires.
• Typically, millionaires pay about $16 (including tip) for a haircut.
• Nearly four in 10 millionaires buy wine that costs about $10.
• In the United States, there are nearly three times as many millionaires living in homes with a market value of less than $300,000 than there are living in homes valued at $1 million or more.
• Forget the Manolo Blahnik high-priced shoes. The No. 1 shoe brand worn by millionaire women is Nine West. Their favorite clothing store is Ann Taylor.
