why would you think linkedin people are well off?
You can check where they currently work and gauge how well-off they are
seems extremely superficial, and also people tend to exaggerate on thier pages.
I am not convinced this is better than other options. On LinkedIn people inflate their credentials heavily, no one will want to appear “poor” or in a bad job on there.
