For me, where I live is not an issue of prestige.
They used to enjoy a great deal of social prestige.
As a matter of prestige, few could afford to say they were not.
They've got money, looks, a certain amount of power and prestige.
"There's a certain amount of prestige associated with having them."
What reason could take him from his relatively high degree of prestige and power?
He has a lot of money and prestige at stake.
In reality, his position was one of prestige but little actual power.
This gave him a great deal of prestige, even in a republic.
I was beginning to realize the value of status and prestige in a world like this one.
