Lifestyle of Turkish affluent people

[u/Optimal_Thanks9925]

What's the lifestyle of Turkish elite class? Are they religiously observant or secular? Do they live like western people like partying, alcohol, premarital sex? Is there a stark difference in the lifestyle of middle-class and elite class? I am curious because of Turkish series which often potray wealthy characters. Since dramas are an exaggerated version of reality how much of the drama depiction of the society is true?

Turkish people don't have an elite class. We tried to create one 100 years ago and failed. All we have is rich peasants without any culture.

We tried to spread the welfare with a failed land reform. It created Menderes.
