Shipping things is very hard to fake. The artifacts either exist or they don't. The characteristic of having access to particular amounts of money is much, much easier to fake against most adversaries than people model it as.
What signals are stronger (harder to fake) than most people think? What signals are weaker (easier to fake) than most people think?

"Shipping things?" It's deceptively easy to convince someone you are a concert violinist or are fluent in Japanese; it's very hard to play the violin for 3 minutes or write an accounting memo on demand. (Ironically even the easy ships are so hard they price out most imposters.)

Intelligence is v easy to fake IME. A wide vocabulary + quick mental math impresses vastly more than people admit to themselves. These are things a dedicated effort can conquer by 8th grade.

Lots of answers here are off the mark - its a question about signalling, "actually doing things" is the opposite of a signal. Ill say that class background is harder than most people think, as its a constantly changing signal. Hard to keep up unless its who you really are.

Some things are easy to fake to certain audiences but hard to fake to others. Intelligence is hard to fake to people who are actually intelligent. Wealth is the same way.
