its a sterotype. many "rich preppy people" are stuck up and snooby, not all but many, and wheither people are just jeleous could also have something to do with it too.

Really? Would you let a poor, poorly dressed person in your clique? How about someone who couldn't get into, or afford, Harvard or Princeton or Yale? How about someone who had a great personality but was ugly and couldn't afford the plastic surgery to fix it.
I'm not saying you'd automatically exclude all these people but, lets face it, you don't run in their circles either. Have you ever made an effort to be friendly with someone who "isn't up to your standards" so to speak? Do you really treat everyone the same or are some people avoided because they're too different from you and your friends?
Everyone usually associates with others like themselves because that's where they feel comfortable and accepted so I assume you do too. However, others with "less" would look at you and not see that they are doing the same thing and think that you avoid them because they are poor, or unfashionable, or unattractive. They would then think that you thought that you were better then they are and were avoiding them because of that and therefore you are a snob.
If you want to avoid this thinking then you need to make the effort to be friendly to and friends with people who are not the "country club set". This is going to be harder on you because they will be afraid to approach you because of fear of automatic rejection. If you really don't want to appear to be the "snob" then you are going to have to do the work. Get out of your comfort zone and start saying "hello" and being friendly to people you wouldn't normally have much to do with.

Because they only think of themselves over others.
