One person pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.

Aren't the same person, the one they call the great pretender? :huh:

There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. Prov 13:7

I am not sure I can follow the premise it is pretend.

To me it is saying that you can't judge by appearances (especially if you are also trying to judge by the world's standards).

Every so often there is a news report of an apparently penniless pensioner who left millions of pounds to charity in their will.

And a lot of people who seem to have so much in terms of worldly goods are actually up to their ears in debt.
