You can be a poor snob. Easily with a non-monetary source of status, but even possibly without one. It would be having status in your own mind, which other people don't agree with. People might find you weird, but being looked at as weird doesn't necessarily change someone's attitude. "Massively rich commoner" doesn't seem to be relevant or even make a lot of sense. You can be massively rich and not have an elitist attitude, but the lack of such an attitude would not make you a commoner, which to the extent it has any solid meaning is about social and financial status and power (and relative lack their of compared to "the elites"), not about attitude. "Not elitist" has no direct connection with "commoner".
