I don't feel that rich for him even though he is.

I don't understand your meaning.
Please explain what you are trying to say.

Maybe one of these?

I don't admire him even though he is rich.
I don't think he looks rich, even though he is.

Perhaps the original poster will find time to try to explain.

Here is my try. Please take a look at it. I hope you understand what I mean.

A friend of mine works in Manhattan. He says that rich people who he knows think they are the best. I work in a very small town and know some rich people as our customers. But a president doesn't show us that he is the best or he is rich while talking, neither do the others.

I don't feel that he is that rich even though he is.
In this case, is the verb 'feel' unsuitable?

Thank you for your time.

Clive · Answer

Thanks, that's a good explanation.

I don't feel that he is that rich even though he is
This is OK, and the verb 'feel' is fine, but I think I might say
eg He doesn't make me feel he is that rich, even though he is.
