Conventional wisdom is that the rich live in distinct parts of the city. The old money in Sadashivanagar, Basavanagudi and Malleswaram and wealthy immigrants, especially of the professional / services class in Indiranagar and Defence Colony and more recently in places like Koramangala. Of course, the seriously rich of recent have fled into secure, uber luxurious gated communities on the outskirts of Bangalore.
