A Faux Baller - or "$30,000 Millionaire" if you prefer - is that guy at the club with an entourage of other tools (both male and female), trying way too hard to enhance his profile. And prove he's got the cash and flash... showing off a wad of cash (as pocket change), flashing his Range Rover keys, and trying to invite everyone back to his five-bedroom house... all while hiding the fact that he spends his weekdays going over TPS reports in a 6x6 cubicle.

Not to be confused with your typical spiked-hair-ab-flashing-orange-skinned douchebag, the Faux Baller attempts to blend in with the moneyed crowd, opting for a sport jacket and tie over Ed Hardy tees. Making him harder to tell apart from those with actual money and taste. But not impossible.

Over at LeaseTrader.com they had a recent customer who came in to take over a lease on a Mercedes, and admitted his intention was to use it as part of his new “faux baller” image. Naturally, they asked him to give up what it truly meant to be a faux baller, and asked him for some of the other tips and tricks for being a “baller on a budget.”

Here's what he said his plan entails, intell you can use to spot the $30KDMs populating your club. (Or use to "fake it till you make it" if you're that insecure...)

Clue 1: Inflated Posse
Here's Step 1 for any faux baller: Get a group of 4-6 friends and take turns being the baller. Each night they choose one guy and designate him as baller for the entire evening. They let him carry around all the money and buy all the drinks throughout the night. And your job as a member of his "entourage" is to hype his swagger by asking questions about his latest trip to Dubai or if he closed that multimillion dollar deal last week in London.

Clue 2: Emptied Bank Account On Friday Night
Faux Ballers take out all their money from their bank account before hitting their first destination. Here’s the trick: they pay for each drink they order but never start a tab. This gives them the chance to pull out their extremely huge wad of cash for each drink purchase. Always when ladies are nearby. And first thing Monday morning the balance goes back in the account.

Clue 3: Driving A Car They Have No Business Driving
The secondary lease market (which is what LeaseTrader.com does) lets “faux ballers” score a BMW, Mercedes or even a Maserati for pennies on the dollar with little financial commitment. And in their mind, the whip makes the man. Even if they paid less than you did for your Ford. So while he's valeting that Rover Saturday night, you can bet he'll be parking it at the biz plex where he toils in his cube during the week.

Clue 4: Sharing Payments
This is the strangest trick to faux balling: They'll purchase a sweet condo or house with a group of friends (the same friends that serve as their club entourage), while telling girls they bought the place as a vacation home when they’re not traveling around the world. The only downside is, when it's not your turn to play "Hef in the Mansion" you'll have to crash at your parents’ place, or sleep in your car.

Clue 5: Fake Passport Locations
Nothing says “faux baller” like a faux passport. Because when you’re talking about running with the bulls in Spain, catching the Cannes Film Festival, or dropping in on Carnaval in Brazil, nothing sells it like pulling out your faux passport with proof of being in each country stamped right on the pages. Just make sure the girl you're trying to impress doesn't work for Homeland Security...
