You have to blend with the rich. Because according to stats, 70% of people who won the lottery went back to being poor.. By blending with the rich, you acquire useful knowledge and habits to maintain your wealth. If you dont like old money people, then choose new money people. But you have to blend in. Having lots of wealth or money while still doing the habits of non-rich will cause you to lose the wealth.

Someone with old money once said to me “ you stand out here because you’re too happy “ From there onwards every time I was around old money I looked to see that they were not smiling genuinely much
Sometimes when you are used to having everything it's hard to appreciate things. For me I grew up in a comfortable life not old money but I am grateful for how my late father worked hard to provide for me so I could follow my dreams and learn how to fly follow my dreams and live a comfortable life without ever worrying about money.
Maybe you stand out in general for being "too happy", not just from old money people. But there is nothing wrong with that. Rich people live better lives than the poor, but nobody can be happy all the time because its just biologically impossible
@@zakosist it is possible, well researched, established and documented thousands of years ago. The science is called Yoga. Not many understand that yoga is all about staying happy, always; and without reason.
It's kind of ironic that old money looks down on new money while also holding their ancestors in high regard, seeing as how their esteemed ancestors who build the fortune they now enjoy literally were the new money of their time.
It has nothing to do with whether one started building the family wealth or inherited it. It has to do with ways of life and culture. Even a new money person would be liked very well by old money if he or she cares about history, art, literature, traditions, etc.
Those who look down on new money are jealous, because they know that the new money self-made person would've gotten their ancestor's respect more than them
If someone admires this, the good news is, you can always learn to appreciate such things as history, art, literature and culture - and you don't even need to be rich. But you do need plenty of spare time for such things - and most folks spend a lot of their time working for a living. So I'd say the key feature of being aristocratic is not necessarily being very rich, but not needing to spend a lot of time working for a living, and having the right attitude to transform their spare time into quality time. Worrying about getting into one "club" or another is silly.
Someone back in the bloodline of Old Money Families started poor, until they built generational wealth.... Can't buy class with money. There are obnoxious people with old money just as there are with new money or no money. Great video!!
The way Old money knows you're not one of them is they don't emphasise the money, they emphasise the old. It means anything or anyone that seems to care about money stands out.
Old money = people born privileged from ancestor who also was poor one day. If you didn’t make the money and simply GET everything I don’t understand why would they be better than normal people..
Old money never has liquid capital. It is tied up with expensive assets and collections. A hint of old money is that they have very little liquid capital available
I agree with much of the general points raised, in this video. New money, no matter how plentiful, cannot become old money, at will. However, I resent the constant use of the phrase, "Fake rich", to describe 'new money' individuals. One is either actually rich, or pretending to be rich. This has little or nothing to do with whether the money is old or new. By this more accurate measure, even old money could be "fake rich", if there isn't very much of it.
Princess Kate (Middleton) is very new money btw. 😼 However, she was eager to conform and managed to fit in. I love these simplistic theories made in the US.
Who cares though? In my case, I don't. My life has been among rich, middle class, and poor because I am a "pet artist". I'm a necessary addition to, in and around all people's happiest times- weddings, parties, fundraisers etc. Artists and their art or music mingle with all walks of society. I'm driven by art and don't care much about rich or poor. Art rises above it all, respecting everyone but holding itself separate from the clay of humanity. Good art, music, and the like is celestial in function, motive and being. It surpasses mortality and is one of the intangibles of a good life, welcome among nearly all classes of society.
This is correct point of view. In Europe however you can find most sophisticated aristoctatic families who lost their wealth to communism. They escaped to the West of Europe, they have incredible heritage of legacy, history, elegance, savoir-vivre, connections, often titles.
My grandpa was born in America but he was from an old German aristocratic family. A notable family member whose mother wasn't native to the Roman Empire at all was basically pro-socialist/pro-communist. It gets confusing from there because he successfully passed of non-German values as German values. JFK was assassinated on his birthday. I think my grandpa shot him from the grassy knoll. Literally. He was a dead ringer for Lee Harvey Oswald. Plus he was a WW2 veteran with a college degree in forestry like Elmer Fudd.
@evelynzlon9492 Indeed, things like that also happened, a lot of communists were originated from arictocratic families. I'm talking about majority of Eastern Europe nobility.
@auroralaura3496 Yes but many Communist Party members actually lived more lavishly than they let on. Some of these Communist aristocrats enjoyed the exact same lifestyle after the Communist takeover as before. Nothing changed. Not if they were "with the program".
@auroralaura3496 However I just scanned through some global wealth statistics. I have an Economics degree so I do this all the time. Russia has the world's greatest wealth inequality. Their 1% owns an inconceivable 70% of the nation's combined net worth. The Communist system wasn't really equal and maybe they enacted policies afterwards which further reinforced the inequality that tided over.

Phew, no matter how much you have there is always going to be someone who has more. I grew up in Europe, as a child I lived in Paris, in a beautiful old Brown Stone Duplex. Wore Chanel to school. I now live in Charleston, S.C Which is a lovely old city. To me it is important to relate to everyone I meet. Often I gift nice people with money! I don't know any other life. I know I am offended by people who assume I have my nose in the air.
This is so dumb. New money =/= fake rich. Many new money monied people are really rich. Many old money people are not extremely rich (just have a rich name), however they managed to save whatever the have for generations.
I come from old money but not this old. My great-grandparents got rich in the 40s. I wouldn't say my family really belongs in that category but I know enough to say that they just grow up with it and sometimes myself included take it for granted.
I’m an upper class aristocrat from Italy, some of you may like to call me an “old money guy” and I have to say that all that old money aesthetic has nothing in common on how we dress or act, it’s all a fashion concept conceived by Ralph Lauren in the 80’s. It’s also very annoying for people like me, cause we see it as a poor way of mimicking our manners, something that we hate and that we are very able to spot at first glance, cause we are thought from a young age to judge people from how they act and not on how they dress.

I found so many smart comments on these kind of ads of old money. Money is money, never old and never new. Traditions are different. People like children playing games with groups and the kind of acceptance or not of others is comic. You are talking about strong individuals who may change reality. They build rules. Anybody who is the follower is weak. You are strong if others are after you.
Old money prefers no watch. That's because they are not somebody else's man and they don't have to march to anyone else's schedule. If they really need to know the time it's on their phone.
@@Laotzu.Goldbug Yeah but a five pound Casio digital from your local Argos will keep more accurate time than all of your Rolex and Cartier bollocks.

I actually think new money is much cooler. Old money inherits their wealth. New money earns theirs often by being hard-working and high IQ. Also, I remember watching a show called Rich Girls with Tommy Hilfiger's daughter. I don't know if the ladies' families were old money or new money, but what I did know was that despite attending a prestigious private school, the girls seemed to be low to middle IQ, not knowing basic words like malnutrition. Having money and attending prestigious institutions doesn't equate to being more intelligent. I think a huge misconception is that people who attend elite schools are smarter than those who don't. Thank God for the Varsity Blues Scandal, people are now more aware that getting into these Ivy League schools is not necessarily the result of being high-IQ. Moreover, just as these kids cheat to get in, you better believe many cheat to earn their degrees.
Elizabeth Wurtzel wrote about precisely this in Prozac Nation. How dumb-fuck kids from wealthy backgrounds would be advised to take a gap year (where a poor kid would just be rejected outright) and then offered a place at Harvard on the strength of that gap year with lower grade expectations on the basis of 'enhanced life-experience'.
An old money type said to me that private schooling is privilege for the mediocre. Of course there are intelligent people at all social levels, but the outcome for someone of average to below average intelligence is vastly different depending on the education one receives.
So precise in so short a video. Let me shorten it more : They are subtle. They flaunt - subtly. They display - subtly. Even when they declare someone out of their league - they do it subtly. They pump their ego - but subtly. And they can not become happy, that's the hallmark.
Although born to working class poverty, I immersed myself in the humanities thanks to public libraries of my time ( the twentieth century). If I became suddenly rich, I would have a life upgrade for myself and my family, but I wouldn't flaunt my wealth. I would be a productive and supportive member of the community in which I lived.
Having been brought up by my mother who was from old money and elite heritage going back hundreds of years old. The most telling aspect of old money elite is their confidence in what they do. Of course not all old money people are good, happy or someone you want to associate with. My mother's family were mostly, good and happy. Many were natural leaders and some were great men or women. None that I know of flaunted their wealth or power. One bad habit I have is that if someone tries to put me down or show their superiority to me, I classify them as bad people and try not associate with them. When circumstances do not allow me to disassociate with these unpleasant people use techniques both my mother taught me and some cases the less pleasant techniques that my father and his father taught me. As I have matured, I have learned that it is not worth my time to deal with unpleasant people. The biggest problem with fighting with bad people is that you become more like the bad people. There are times I will still fight, that is if there is real and present threat to my family and loved ones.
A middle-class person made up that story at the start. It's like something a Guardian reader would think. Were they also petting a supervillain cat and cackling wildly over brandy?

If you read Bourdieu you will understand that no matter how meticulously you study the wealthy you will never be them. Your tastes and habits are shaped by the environment you grew up in. You can watch as many videos on how to dress old money as you would like, you’ll never crack the code.
old money is deeply rooted and comes from true virtuosity new money is just some lucky person who gamed the system to get rich quick, got lucky or something. their money doesn't come from actual virtuosity. they might have a higher net worth than the average old money person but this wealth is bound to bleed away over time and wont help their children, grandchildren, ...
@@YoYo-gt5iq those are the dead ends of the virtuous old money bloodlines... they're harder to spot because born into old money and brought up with their manners.
Ok so theres some truth but theres flaws. Truth is this when you live in a metro u live amongst the old money. Example nyc and philadelphia has plenty. First we all go to school together college at least. They dont label themselves as old money, they just have what they have period. Theres no formal dress code neither way of acting or likes or dislikes. All money are amongst each other and each person is their own. Example theres a generational wealthy family near st josephs in philadelphia. They have kids. Each child is different. One drives a benz, one a ford the other whatever they drive. Some of them wear the Logos and some are chill..so to place old money queit luxury habits on people isnt truth. Furthermore tho, they do have manners so they dont operate in a mean girls fashion. Thats the truth. Ralph is a brand that expresses a lifestyle of British wealth.... But doesnt mean all old money are ingulphed in this style. Ive been though connecticut, nyc, philly, arizona, beverly hills, nj delaware and all in the south and all are the same and different its about the person not the age of their wealth
I understood this content. I can also feel for old money people even though I have lived my life with middle class families. When I arrived in South Korea and sat down with my biological family members for the first time, I felt wrong to even sit with them. Class differences are not just a wild imagination but it is a real thing. As more times of interactions between me and my family members added to my experience, I started feeling ok about sitting with them, but still I don't entirely feel ok about sitting with them. That doesn't mean that my quality as what I am has been changed. I think what's changed is just feeling ok about interating with low class and low intelligent people. For the second time I say this: I don't like most people. I like being alone. I also think that there can be someone who can change that of meㅡ"I don't like most people." I'm looking forward to be able to have many interesting discussions by dialogues. I'm sure I will like them professionally.
I was born into upper middle class, with impeccable manners and high quality education. My father became a very successful CEO, yet having been born in the lower middle class. Since my parents divorce when I was eight years old, and for the majority of my life I have been lower middle class...

They flaunt - subtly. They display - subtly. Even when they declare someone out of their league - they do it subtly. They pump their ego - but subtly.
And they can not become happy, that's the hallmark.
Blood money. It's that simple.
Although born to working class poverty, I immersed myself in the humanities thanks to public libraries of my time ( the twentieth century). If I became suddenly rich, I would have a life upgrade for myself and my family, but I wouldn't flaunt my wealth. I would be a productive and supportive member of the community in which I lived.
Having been brought up by my mother who was from old money and elite heritage going back hundreds of years old. The most telling aspect of old money elite is their confidence in what they do. Of course not all old money people are good, happy or someone you want to associate with. My mother's family were mostly, good and happy. Many were natural leaders and some were great men or women. None that I know of flaunted their wealth or power.
One bad habit I have is that if someone tries to put me down or show their superiority to me, I classify them as bad people and try not associate with them. When circumstances do not allow me to disassociate with these unpleasant people use techniques both my mother taught me and some cases the less pleasant techniques that my father and his father taught me. As I have matured, I have learned that it is not worth my time to deal with unpleasant people. The biggest problem with fighting with bad people is that you become more like the bad people. There are times I will still fight, that is if there is real and present threat to my family and loved ones.
name one old money artist, art professor, or researcher
Salvador Dali
Almeida Garrett Gil Vicente
Henry Cavendish.
Princess Ann.
Almost all artists are old money. No one else can afford to be.
The Beverly Hillbillies had it all.
Love these insights 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A middle-class person made up that story at the start. It's like something a Guardian reader would think. Were they also petting a supervillain cat and cackling wildly over brandy?
Your fits are on point. You should put the name of the brands.
Longing for something is a better feeling then having it
The last Grand Imperial Duchesse, Olga Alexandrovna,youngest sister of Czar Nicholas II, lived in a small apartment above a barber shop in Toronto during her latter years until she died in 1960.
Because she ran away and was dirt poor.
Yeah, yeah, their lives are so ideal and perfect... Good story bro.
So it’s like the New England elite vs the LA Rich & Famous (for being famous). Class vs Cash.
Vive heureuse vive cachée = live happily live hidden
You could at least quote correctly : « pour vivre heureux, vivons cachés », not your word salad
Old money grandpa was once a poor guy who knows to take advantage of a war,a robbery,slavery..or a mafia guy who sold drugs then named a businessman ..
"Behind every great forture there is a crime." Mario Puzo's - The Godfather 1969
Well the great thing about old money is they don't have to look at us,talk to us or acknowledge us heathens
I see the word ‘ luxury’ and I’m
Like … nah…
Old money is nothing more than people that were once new money! 😊
let's pretend that their grandfather wasn't also nobody. most degenerated parts of the society are those "old money"
I love wen she says SUBSTANCE
money….while it may open doors, the trick is to know exactly which doors one wishes to enter.
The old money folks have their own dilemma and peculiar, specific problems. Glad to be not one of them.
Old money attitudes among poor people is the worst ever. You have done nothing besides copying somebody else's clothes but with horrible fabric

Love this. It's entertaining and fun.
If you read Bourdieu you will understand that no matter how meticulously you study the wealthy you will never be them. Your tastes and habits are shaped by the environment you grew up in. You can watch as many videos on how to dress old money as you would like, you’ll never crack the code.
old money is deeply rooted and comes from true virtuosity
new money is just some lucky person who gamed the system to get rich quick, got lucky or something. their money doesn't come from actual virtuosity. they might have a higher net worth than the average old money person but this wealth is bound to bleed away over time and wont help their children, grandchildren, ...
Like Winston Churchill's virtuous ancestor who slept his way into the family fortune?
@@YoYo-gt5iq those are the dead ends of the virtuous old money bloodlines... they're harder to spot because born into old money and brought up with their manners.
oh whatever lol new money are still better and smarter than 99% of people because they figured out a way to become rich.
What's so impressive about being the lucky sperm?
Virtuosity? Most of their ancestors are immoral human beings with money, titles and connections to cover up their deeds. They are not perfect
Either you grew up with them or not, same schools and clubs.
These are mostly clichés and stereotypes in a narrative written by the middle-class.
Old money = colonial money
I’m not old money, I can bake a tortilla, I’m older money
At the end of the day we all put our pants on the same way. The only difference is that I make gold records.
Ha ha! At Eton the boys used to be taught to tie their shoelaces a certain way and punished if they got it wrong. Think again.
Ok so theres some truth but theres flaws. Truth is this when you live in a metro u live amongst the old money. Example nyc and philadelphia has plenty. First we all go to school together college at least. They dont label themselves as old money, they just have what they have period. Theres no formal dress code neither way of acting or likes or dislikes. All money are amongst each other and each person is their own. Example theres a generational wealthy family near st josephs in philadelphia. They have kids. Each child is different. One drives a benz, one a ford the other whatever they drive. Some of them wear the Logos and some are chill..so to place old money queit luxury habits on people isnt truth. Furthermore tho, they do have manners so they dont operate in a mean girls fashion. Thats the truth. Ralph is a brand that expresses a lifestyle of British wealth.... But doesnt mean all old money are ingulphed in this style. Ive been though connecticut, nyc, philly, arizona, beverly hills, nj delaware and all in the south and all are the same and different its about the person not the age of their wealth
My boss is most guilty of trying to be elitist with his tiny 5 million fortune
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHO THE GIRL ON THE THUMBNAIL IS
A fair question.
Do you think New money people would be happy if Old money people wish to sit with them?
We live in a world of posers, but unbeknownst to them, they stick out like desperate wannabes.
Too british to listen for more than 10'' ...same disturbing as ASMR.
I agree with this comment.
It's extremely confusing that the marker for seconds and inches is the same
I understood this content.
I can also feel for old money people even though I have lived my life with middle class families.
When I arrived in South Korea and sat down with my biological family members for the first time, I felt wrong to even sit with them. Class differences are not just a wild imagination but it is a real thing.
As more times of interactions between me and my family members added to my experience, I started feeling ok about sitting with them, but still I don't entirely feel ok about sitting with them.
That doesn't mean that my quality as what I am has been changed. I think what's changed is just feeling ok about interating with low class and low intelligent people.
For the second time I say this: I don't like most people. I like being alone.
I also think that there can be someone who can change that of meㅡ"I don't like most people."
I'm looking forward to be able to have many interesting discussions by dialogues. I'm sure I will like them professionally.
I was born into upper middle class, with impeccable manners and high quality education. My father became a very successful CEO, yet having been born in the lower middle class. Since my parents divorce when I was eight years old, and for the majority of my life I have been lower middle class...
Good.
Wealth aside there is absolutely NOTHING that sounds appealing about these interactions.
Being fake Ritch is embarrassing 😂 😂 😂
This is so true.
Oh pleeeeease!
Do they welcome the royals ?
Make sense
its ok
You are either old money, or you are not.
I Am From One Of The Oldest American Families European Ancestors Aristocracy This Video Is Pretty Much Spot On .
This life sounds horribly boring. If I was born into a lot of money, my life would be eccentric and spectacular with no thought to what my family's friends think.
Old money, thats those who have country estates paid for by owning slaves in the west indies
