hood rich
Superficially wealthy appearance
Hood rich describes having money but spending it on flashy, visible luxuries rather than building wealth—expensive cars, designer clothes, and jewelry while still living in a poor neighborhood.
The term captures a contradiction: displaying wealth without the financial security that typically accompanies it.
He's hood rich—drives a Bentley but rents his mama's basement.
