One of my more well off friends gets asked for money rather often by people and her expectation management question is: "be honest: is this a loan or a donation?"
And for that reason, if I become wealthy, I won't tell anyone and I'll try not to show it. The latter may be harder. I'm in r/FIRE, which despite all its ills, teaches that one thing well.
One of the most obvious signs (and greatest benefits) of wealth is retirement. The usual advice is to tell people you're a freelancer working from home, a portfolio manager or something like that.

Does “people” include family?

It depends. If it's your wife, it may be hard to hide, and you may have reasons not to.
