I was gonna say illegal drug use but yeah, there are lots of TV shows where rich people are like, "Welp, we're indoors, time to pour drinks."

And white wine

How are drugs NOT everyone's first answer?
Exhibit A: Elon Musk
-
Elon Musk is a great example of being trash(y) despite being rich though. Including the drug abuse.
-
Now he is a perfect example of being trashy, but that is precisely what makes him the best example because the public perception used to be VERY much that Musk was "classy", Musk was a genius, a super smart engineer and businessman, somebody that could be seen as an expert on almost anything and can point to their extensive resume to back up their boisterous persona.
Look to someone like Bill Gates or insert other billionaire here and think about how you might bristle if I insulted him that way, and think about how the only real difference between the two is how effective their PR handlers are and how much they listen to them.

They even have special places for the ultra-wealthy to gamble respectably. They're given a twee name. Something like "stock market" or the like...?

"Gambling problem? Oh no no, I'm a Venture Capitalist. I'm a productive member of society. My cousin Ernie is the gambler in the family. Maybe one day he'll pull himself up by his bootstraps, cuz I sure ain't gonna give him any handouts"

Almost literally anything called classy, "classy" is a way of saying "something a rich person does". It's got additional meaning beyond that, but to say something is "classy" is at the very least to say "it is something the upper classes do".
