Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I assume you are talking about 1980's!.
Cars with turbocharging were popular among the rich!.
Stretch limousine was also a flashy symbol of success back then!.
Rich early adopters bought betamax video systems before VHS and Ghetto buster style portable stereos and quadrofonic music systems
Women were wearing glitzy dresses with plenty of jewellery and make-up like in "Dynasty" series!.
They were using chunky car phones and walkmans!. Kids or teenagers had BMX bikes and game boys and wore Dr!. Marteens shoes!.
Their hobbies were the same as it is today: golfing and yachting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Pretty much the same thing they do now, just minus the technoligical advancements!. My family was rich in the 80's and they still have Ferraris and Bentleys and go on numerous vacations with perks, and buy expensive jewelry!.

Though, they no longer wear shoulder pads!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Pretty much the same stuff we have now, only bigger!. That's right, just like 80's hair, things like mobile phones & video cameras were bigger back in the 80's!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A Beta Max was like a very expensive movie player!. Like now a VHS or DVD player!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
