Lulu's Starting Gold

I'm writing this, mostly because I can't find anything already written about it via the search. I usually am support. Typically Sona or Soraka. But, I'm working on getting all my support champs mastered. Lulu being one of them. With Sona, Soraka, Morgana, Thresh, Zilian, I start with my ancient coin (Soraka and Thresh I sometimes get the Relic Shield if we need some extra tank), 2 Mana Pots, a Green Ward, and my Yellow freebie. HOWEVER I've come to find that Lulu starts with about 35 less gold than the other support champs. Why is that?

Well there's that support mastery that gives you extra starting gold. If you use a different mastery page for Lulu, that might be the reason why.

EDIT: ~~Looking you up on Lolking, you seem to have that mastery for your Lulu page. Was this in multiple games, or was it a specific game? Maybe you picked a wrong page?~~

EDIT2: Actually, that might be the wrong information I looked into. Looking you up in-client (Sorry for the stalking, I really am), but you seem to have a Lulu page with 23/0/7 masteries, which does NOT have that particular mastery with a point in it

(The Wealth mastery, support tree, second on the fourth row down, icon of cupped hands filled with coins, gives you +40 starting gold).

What Siachi said. It's a Mastery in the Utility tree for 40g which lets you afford another potion (it's a good idea to have at least 1 health pot instead of all mana).

I don't start with Relic Shield on Soraka though. It's true that you get 40 healing off it, but Ancient Coin also heals you in addition to mana regen, and her heal costs more for having higher health but does not heal any extra so stacking HP is not her priority.

Are you sure this is an actually thing? She shouldnt start with less, check in a custom?
