A traditional symbol of a family's wealth or social status was the placement of Imperial guardian lions in front of the family home.
It didn't necessarily mean mother/father or meant that you came from a mortgage-free home, It meant you were so wealthy that you didn't need a mortgage.
Read about it here. And how technology changed the meaning.
