SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS and personal experiences if you’ve ever married into “old money” or extreme wealth… Or, alternatively - if you know someone who has.
My best friend married into Dutch aristocracy. She had no idea he was from a wealthy family because they met in NYC. She was shocked when her husband told her he would need to break the news of their engagement on a solo visit to his family to ensure they would accept her. They accepted her, but were emotionally distant. Shortly after she was married and thei their first child was born, her husband was given a trust that would go to their son upon adulthood. To this day, she has no idea how much the family is worth. They never speak of their money. In NYC, she and he worked normal jobs, but when the moved to the Netherlands they both stopped working and focused on family life. They live in one of the family homes in Amsterdam. They go to family homes in Italy, Greece, Belgium, France...and send the children to private school. She had to learn how to behave in certain circles in order to not be seen as a disruption. Her husband Aub is so nice that it makes up for the awkwardness of being a part of his family, so she smiles and deals with it. She says everyone is very polite.
My fiancé comes from a wealthy family who have run their business for several generations. The first thing I noticed is that in these circles where people give each other houses and apartments like other people give flowers from the supermarket, no one says they are wealthy, let alone old-money. Even when they know it is, they say they are hard-working middle class people. Money is never talked about, but expensive things are paid for: our apartment was paid for and next year our wedding with the whole family. In general, money or prizes are never talked about - they are given away and thanked. It was difficult for me at first to fit into these circles where it is normal to send your child to private school, chess and tennis. After more than 6 years of relationship, I have adapted so that I am now sometimes a stranger to my own family, as they often do not understand the conventions of the other family.
Think of it as you are someone who has the best of both worlds....knowing hard work, understanding the benefit of generational wealth & how to keep a level head....and knowing humbleness humility & comapssion. You'll be a refined version...note the bad traits of your side & his, then make a concerted effort to stamp em out.
If you "marry up" you should be aware that it's not all "paying off your debts" or "buying the best appliances". there will be frustrating times when you feel like everyone got a secret memo that you didn't- you wear slightly the wrong outfit or use the wrong terminology that makes it clear you are an outsider. And while people might always be polite to you (after all rudeness is so declasse) they might not ever be friendly or make you feel included. Plus they will generally make you sign a prenup.
Keep in mind that if you're married into one of these families for long enough to be exposed to its skeletons, good luck getting out of the marriage unscathed if it doesn't work out. After all, it's not like any of them are going to warn you in advance if your paramour is an abuser, narcissist, addict, or philanderer. If they are, you will be expected to put up with it and look the other way. Be willing to bear the burden of the family secrets quietly and put maintaining their image above all else. And stay away from the family "fixer(s)." They will not be your ally if you get on the wrong side of their employers. One perfect example is that there's a reason a Kennedy that everyone knew was behind his girlfriend's murder remained a sitting Senator until he died.
as an american who is working class irish/appalachian of british descent one side, and african american/scottish on the other side, i have zero connection to “old money” and don’t think i have ever even met an old money person, but i’m just so surprised by how similar my natural approach to life is to theirs, from my fashion sense, my hobbies and interests, and knowledge and respect of family history and traditions. i’m an anomaly in my milieu.
I have seen middle-class people trying to look like their old money. The funny thing is that there are rich people trying to pretend they’re poor. It’s a humorous irony filled with aspiration.
Old money in England might be different from the US.English old money are often struggling with the cost of running and maintaining their estates, their furniture and appliances have often seen better days. They most likely don't have the number of staff that they had back in the day.
I was a staff member for a few old money families. They are always perfectly mannered upon meeting but they are also taking your measure. They were particularly cheap with pay and high with expectations of service. One example is that I had a business mailer for new clients. This old money family clipped it to my decreased check without any discussion. This was their way of saying they would pay less if I grew my income from employment elsewhere. They expected my time to be spent on them alone. You do become an accessory to their surroundings as they do not know you, but you learn about them. Spouses never slept in the same room as they had their own wings on the estate. Their little dogs could urinate and defecate without qualm, but items had to be perfectly placed without dust bunny seen. Certain items were to never be touched and hallways of rooms were to be avoided. What I have found to be true in working between the different classes is that if you make a mistake or something needs addressed, new money can scream while old money whispers.
I think it's safe to say it's a global stressful economic/ financial downturn.. this is when the family "need to work together to restrain spending." and not bail out on yourself.. some appliances we don't need.. art can take a back seat, festivities, better to be invited than do all the extravagant show.. redifine what's necessary to what you don't need.. once you've been poor or lacking of, it's easier for sure to see what can be stroked out easing the pain of some losses, lol just a temporary adjustment.
I haven't had the opportunity of interacting with old money, but I admire their ability to make connections. Middle class socialization sometimes gets in the way for the rest of us. Social value/status comes from consumption: car, house, vacations etc. Type of job: white collar vs blue collar vs service jobs. We tend to be slaves to people's opinion of us: do we look poor, do we give the right impression, do people like us, do we have enough stuff that secures our middle class status. After all of that, there really is not much room left for other pursuits like high culture, certain types of sports, making connections with the right people. We're just caught in a trap. We're also used to doing everything ourselves, some of us feel embarrassed if we have to hire help. No wonder it's hard for people to ascend from the class they were born in. Many times it's not money, it's the mental changes we need to make that's in our way.
My ancestors were knights in what would later become Spain during the 10th century. My lineage is older than every upper class family here in the United States. No castles, no shiny armor, and we weren't super wealthy for the past 1300 years.
@@christian5327 That's interesting. I'm no expert, but I believe the convention among that group is that even though you can trace you ancestry that far back, there needs to have been substantial money in the family from generations ago. Happily, things are changing. It appears that if you get rich enough and follow the social rules, you can make it to the lower rungs of the upper class and be kind of accepted-ish. That's what seems to be happening in the UK anyway, as some of the older families begin to fall into 'genteel poverty'. You'll never be truly fully accepted, but your children might be if they go to the right schools and make the right friends. So there is hope for those who wish they could become part of the group one day. 🙂
Hmm, don't be misled by their grace and proper attitude. The old rich have their standards and they do assess people based on their educational background, social status, wealth, and sphere of influence. They just don't show what they truly think and feel towards those people lower in rank/status. I know this because I used to work in an NGO where we needed to hobnob with the old rich, new rich, and famous. Old rich folks are subtle and gracious that you don't feel they look down on you LOL.
@@whatevergoesforme5129 They are a small group and shrinking. We can see that through things like the number of chateaus that are for sale in Europe all of a sudden. They will soon enough not have a choice but to accept some new money into their network. If one is self confident and don't need their validation, then some people's snobbishness is tolerable, if getting into the group is what one desires.
Actually, capitalist economies are systemically stratified societies in which the notion of economic and social mobility are largely a myth. Due to the fact that capitalism involves a perpetual upward transfer and consolidation of wealth, all capitalist systems turn into authoritarian or totalitarian dictatorships eventually. It takes a lot more than changing your mindset if you want to be in the top .01%. You have to be willing and have the resources to buy politicians, influence policies, exploit labor, and exploit resources. After all, that's the only way to become a billionaire.
I married into a degree of wealth sometime ago. What I would have given to have his tutelage back then. I made every mistake imaginable. In fact, I had pretty much given up, until I found your videos. I will work to change my ways and fit in better. I may not 16, but I can at least try.
When money is viewed as multigenerational capital rather than one’s own, a whole new set of rules for spending emerge. Buying an expensive antique or piece of art is encouraged, but buying an expensive consumable like Starbucks each day is wasteful and discouraged. Even though that $8 coffee may seem irrelevant, it shows a lack of commitment and understanding of how money should be invested not spent.
$8.00 buy a jar of Maxwell coffee and make your own.. if coffee now is $8.00 a cup ? add another $1.00 you can have a month supply of very acceptable coffee. You would be up by $224 a month x 12 now it's $2688.00 perfect bonus.
Both my grand parents on my mother's side came from old money. There are streets named after my ancestors in Montreal near the Olympic Stadium. All that wealth was gone within a generation. My grandfather squandered and gambled it all away. His money, my grandmother's money, everything of value (furniture, jewelry, silverware, gilded gold plates, art, houses), all sold and pawned. He even took my mother's trust fund (and my aunt's). Perhaps his siblings are still old money, I don't know, because he was cut off from the family. It's really quite amazing how fleeting it is if you're not careful (even those born into it). Thankfully, my mother learned from HIS mistakes, and we ended up OK.
Almost every gesture is conditional. They want to gage how you manage money that would seem like several months salary in "regular" life. They might have 'surveillance' on said emergency credit card. They want to see how you treat THEIR money. They want to establish a sense of appreciative loyalty from you as well. They'd rather materially raise you up if you're going to marry into their family. This isn't bad in and of itself, it's just gaging how trustworthy, predictable and reliable you are with shared resources.
Not only "old money" in-laws, try marrying into a very religious family who feel superior to everyone not inside their religion or even just their individual church. The same rules apply...keep the outsider on the outside and don't grow friendlier as time goes on.
Yes, I remember that line too. Another line that made me laugh is from a conversation between Maggie Smith and “lady Mary” about friends , when Maggie Smith says: I have lots of friends I don’t like.
most of us will never need these tips, but a few of us will make it there, and so its good we learned some things in advance. on the other hand, some of us may observe others who are part of the old money world, and we will recognize from afar, though we may not be part of it. thanks for working so hard on these videos!
Maybe you aren't interested, but your grandchildren, nieces, nephews, it's a discussion if you really want to introduce them to the ultimate goal and lifestyle, the real deal, you can tell if you can pass on this video,, if they have not done without much, they're half way there, as they already think they're richer than you are and if they're smarter than average, it's just another pursuit , either they'll have fun with it, or they'll make it happen. You have to love the person you're pursuing that is the number one rule.. I'd pass on..
This is actually pretty spot on, however be aware of whether you are a member of the family to start off with or married into the family risking the family reputation is not done. You are above all a representative of the family, not an individual. And where connections can be used to help you they can also be used to break you.
They say if you marry into money, you'll earn every cent of it the hard way. I know of 2 people who married into money. It didn't end well for either of them.
Old money isn't always a lot of money it depends how it was managed. A lot of money was lost in the crash of 1929. Also old money families will be en garde and suspicious of someone who's not from their background.
You can't blame them, with or without wealth, if you have something mor than the average, you'll be watching carefully whom your kids/ or grandchildren are associated with as a future family member..
Am totally laughing at the kitchen appliance analogy because that is just what happened. A few months ago. The 30 year old freezer went out and a new top of the line one because it was the best was put in its place. Plus a year ago. The same with the refrigerator.
I got bad news for you. Just because you put in a top of the line appliance does not mean that it will last any longer than the inexpensive one. If you look at the fine print in Consumer Reports it will tell you that the average life expectancy of a major consumer appliance like a fridge is now FIVE YEARS. Think on that. So dont be impressed with people that have money. Do they have brains and common sense and you would be surprised that this is not a function of class. Sorry about that. I have learned a lot from my older son. He is an extremely successful entrepreneur. He stared two very successful businesses and the odds against doing this are extremely miniscule. He networks like crazy with people like himself. Not one of them. Not one of them came from Money. They were all raised solidly middle class with a strong work ethic. Brains and vision and dead hungry to succeed. Few of them went to Old Money schools like Harvard or Vanderbilt or Yale. So if you pursue the trappings of success you will be disappointed and you will meet a lot of people that are disappointing too. The image is not the reality. PS The money, for the most part, goes after about five generations. Many books have been written by the Vanderbilts and how it was lost. Just my two cents. No flames please.
Useful connections are made through schools such as Eaton, Harrow and Oxford later on gentleman's long standing clubs such as Whites. The intermarriage between the English and Americans was a matter of solving financial problems a title for the money of the not so old Americans.
Don’t you remember when Prince Edward of the British Royal Family was trained as an Antique Furniture Conservator. A step with wisdom of Queen Dowager (Queen’s Mother) for the youngest or last of that lineage. Yes wisdom and forethought.👑
I enjoyed the secret language of old-money video. I'd love to see another one if you have the time, OML. Your videos are a pleasure to watch and an eye-opening foray into a hidden world. Keep up the good work!
The ones that I recognise are Titanic, Downtown Abbey, wolf of Wall Street Hangover 2 Cinderella Pretty woman A few good men Pride and prejudice Crazy rich Asians Charlie's Angels 3 Harry Potter 1 Alice in Wonderland Richie Rich
great idea, more entertaiment & learning for those you want to share it with , as their time is approaching to think wisely for the future, you can never have too much good health, security and amass money .. for whatever makes your heart glee with joy.
Grew up in Brussels where my dad got s high paying job at the EEC at the time, 1970s. Nouveau yes but not flaunting it. Dad was stingy. Plenty of old money people at the international school. Some aristocrats, some wealthy business families

One perfect example is that there's a reason a Kennedy that everyone knew was behind his girlfriend's murder remained a sitting Senator until he died.
Edward Kennedy was probably a weak man but I do not think you can accuse him of murder . Mary Jo Kopechne actually died in a car accident and it is possible the driver ( Edward ) was unfit to drive because he was a heavy drinker . The death certificate stated that she died from drowning as Edward 's car landed in a stretch of water known as Poucha Pond. Edward survived the accident but failed to notify the authorities about the accident for many hours.
@@shepardsmith3235 I think it was a genuine accident but Kennedy was drunk and fled the scene rather than helping the young lady get out of the car .I do not believe a cowardly act like that would be tolerated in the UK but others probably would not agree with me .
Lets see what @howtosober says. He is the one that raised the question was this an accident or murder and that all the insiders knew. This was the first time I have heard this. I like everyone else questioned why he did not help her and that remains open even today. @@annewalden3795
Never give anyone but your lawyers power of attorney, and that includes your bankers. If they don't have control over your bank accounts and property, you're much better protected. Your financial advisor should be overseen by your lawyers. Your lawyers will be top-notch, from a top-notch old law firm. Even then, pay attention and don't let years go by without checking on your affairs. Never, ever cheap out on financial or legal help. Many high-profile cases of an investment advisor ripping off a "client" was a relative or friend. Lauren Hutton, Doris Day, Billy Joel, LeAnn Rimes, Anne Hathaway, and many others.
Regretably, the truth is your money isn't safe with the ones we trust the most. you need more than 1 lawyer from different firms and definitely more than 1 financial advisor..
I have a very distant connection to someone with money. His wife’s car’s key fob died. He went to get it fixed but came away with a new car for her instead. I’m underemployed and can’t even afford rent so it was mind boggling.
My family is wealthy and has been for 4 generations. My car key fob died and I took my husband’s car to buy a $5 battery that I swapped with the dead one in my key fob. It took less than 10 minutes. The person you know is just reckless.
My forebear's silk factory estate in Germany has been accruing interest since the 1700s, but my kinswoman burned the documentary proof that we are descendants back in the 1800s. Agents were sent to USA to find the heirs, but no proof could be given. Move onward and make own fortune, then.
I enjoy watching these episodes but I think old money world is not for me. Besides consumption habits, if have to buy something I too prefer classic and something which lasts. But I also prefer people around me are there because they think I am at least OK 😄 and not because of family name, connections etc.
well, this is why there are less wealthy families because the lifestyles and amassing all that goes with it, isn't their priority, its great we are all different, still great reading to understand for some the attraction and for others, it's unimportant .. I truly believe your background is an underlying reason to what is attractive and unattractive to others.
I went to school with old money as a child. I will say today while I am a “working stiff”…I was amused to find out thru mu Ancestry DNA that some of those people are 3rd and 4th cousins. And I knew more about the family history in the British Isles than they did…and where some the money came from…and why my side was disinherited.
Well if you want old or new money, you can have it, you just have to reinvent your life to attract money, it will be fun think of it as a hobby.. Good luck J.
I dont come from old money but money nonetheless. My family is shallow and greedy while putting on how helpful they are. I had to escape. In doing so I learned their entire lives were lies. Smoke and mirrors.
Sounds like a sweet deal to me. The 'negatives' are precisely why they've managed to hold onto their wealth. Too bad this video didn't exist before Meghan got married 😆
I doubt this person misses anything, she's good for several decades, clearly fake, she won't snag anyone smarter nor wealthier, than getting lucky with the Prince. She should step back and let him take the limelight as he may get tired of her.. then she really then should be worried. Without him, she's just known for the actress of a part of a show. There will never be another young Harry..coming her way anytime soon, just saying.
Meghan is a dark character. She is only the face of more powerful political associates who are doing their best to prevent the freedom of the press and to dictate what information should be allowed to be published on social media. If they can dictate what people are allowed to see and what they are allowed to say they will be able to control global propaganda and influence people globally to accept their mindset for their own powerful ambitions. The fact that the general worlds population is getting bored and tired of Meghan is a scary thing for thus sociopathic and malignant narcissistic woman. You could see the discomfort and fear when she was an honoured guest at the Kevin Costner Gala. Make no mistake she and her associates are evil and promoting her is only a tiny part of their overall plan. Why do you think she was promoting Nigeria? Do you know that her mother was jailed a significant 10 years on drug related charges? How do you think they can afford her and Harry's drug use? Why do you think her physical appearance and condition is deteriorating? Why do you think she and Harry are desperate to make money? Are her children real? If so how does a 40 year old woman successfully carry two children to term with no physical problems? Do you know that the possibility that Harry is not the son of King Charles and that he only Carrie's his Duke title because of his position of accession to the throne? On the other hand Prince William is showing the world the decorum, actions and taste of old money in a very dignified way. Do you know how old clothes that have been worn by royalty and even the significant pieces of old jewelry are updated and redesigned into mire appropriate styles for the individuals taste and presentation. In the event of the Death of King Charles and the accession of Prince William to the throne and the granting of the title of Prince of Wales to Prince George there is a possibility that the title of Duke of Sussex will be stripped away from Harry and this title will be bestowed on another member of the royal family. I have heard that there is the distinct possibility that the FBI, CIA, MI5, MI6 and other security agencies are following Meghan and Harry"s entourage and watching them closely. Dark couple indeed. Much darker than bronzing spray.
The rules are not the same on both sides of the Atlantic. This video is exclusively about the USA and does not translate to the aristocracy of Europe where no amount of money makes up for lack of manners, and where the discussion of money or wealth is considered ill-bred and vulgar.
The number of wealthy families in the American South with origins in moonshining is shocking. These families may not be in the mega-rich camp, but they could be holding tens of millions of dollars with kids at Vanderbilt or Emory or the like.
Interesting information but JFC, an ad break every 4 to 5 minutes! I know we need ads in order to view content like this for free but this overkill ruins to viewing experience. Content provider - is this how you really want your content viewed?
you cant ask to cut back on commercials, unless you want these guys to make videos for nothing. their time and work need to be taken care of, just like your or mine
Well ,it’s HYPOCRISY regarding “old money “ people having disdain towards “new money “ people displaying wealth .When their old money was new money they did the same thing .
If you dare to marry into old money you will be asked where are your people from? In other words what’s your family history meaning were your family important and where did they make their wealth. If you can’t contribute to the standing of the wealthy you must have something else,talent,good education etc to appeal to them. It must have been difficult for a person like Meghan Markle to fit into the royal family for she had neither to offer. Her marriage to Harry wouldn’t have lasted if she had remained in England. Wisely she headed for American with her prince.
I dated an "old money" man and his family only tipped 10% - right down to the cent. I was shocked as on my meager wages, I tip 20%, unless the service was terrible.
In my experience wealthy people hold onto their money. That's how they became rich in the first place, and they get away with it. The wealthier you are the more freebies and favours you receive. It's a funny old world.
Also if you have a disability be prepared for the change in care givers they will go from agency/ government providers to the best of the best like the norlands of care, but you are expected to make some people or to remain where you are and with a progressive disease this can be an issue for the older generations but the younger generation, will include you in the name of equity.
If both couples are from the old money background, then there is no problem because they share the same values. This video is intended for those plebs who wish someone from the old money.
Thouse values is excatly why someone can become old money. Even poor people can start to adept thouse values and by that rise in socioeconomical ladder.
Nope. In old money families they give importance to pedigree and background. No matter how much u try its not possible to fit in like another person raised in an old money family
it's too late for her, can't change her ways, she knows "everything" which is her demise. She's out of her league, the first time she met Harry's family..
I grew up in a poor immigrant family from Cuba. I have always had the mindset of old money, dress for stealth and never speak about money; it's considered vulgar. When I was in Junior High School, in the NYC public school system. My guidance counselor asked me what ambitions I had. I replied, "I am going to conquer the world." She asked me, "And how are you going to do that ?" I answered logically, "The problem with Hitler, Napoleon and Alexander the Great. They made too much noise, and brought too much attention to themselves. I am planning on doing it quietly." She asked me again, "And how are you going to do that ?" Me, "I don't know yet, I'll figure it out." A week later, I was thinking about having several sons when I marry. Sending them out into the world, becoming financiers. Sending them to NYC, London, Paris, Munich, Milan. For the past year, I have been learning about the Rothschild family, and how they developed their generational wealth. It scared me, because when I was 12/13 years-old in Junior High School. I had the same strategy, and I knew nothing about the Rothschild family. I don't know if I am a reincarnation of Mayer Rothschild, or just a fluke. Let's see what my financial intellect will dictate, what will my financial future be ? Hmm...🤔.
People of old money only care about the status of all when children ended up marrying towards another old money as an arranged marriage instead of following the own path by staying in their family mold of their status.
@@maryh9569You're talking about women who were either able to adapt or already were born into that milieu, like Sarah Ferguson and Camilla. Meghan Markle neither tried to adapt nor was born into an old money family.
@@edennis8578 And !!! What does that mean, these women are not Capable of handling anything, Camilla, what have she added to Charles rule as King ? What has she done for the Citizens of the UK? As a Queen ? What , like the Queen or Princess Diana did, And Sarah Ferguson, Don't make me laugh, a woman still living with her Divorced husband because she's a Grifter, selling information about him for money, Don't get me started on her cheating toe sucking thing, in front of her kids in the public, Duchess Meghan always worked and had her own money, she paid for her own wedding dress,and decent furniture in Prince Harry Royal Poverty cottage, Prince Harry's at his best finding Duchess Meghan, Plus she did Humanitarian work before she met Prince Harry, look it up , Old money means nothing today,
oh how i wish Miss. Meghan Markel have found your channel just before got married to Prince Harry to learnt and better prepared herself in joining an old money and probably most powerful family on earth
I live in an African Kingdom where land has been owned for generations by chiefs and other sons of previous kings given to them by the monarchy. Other monarchies throughout the continent and other old money families of wealth gain do exist. Just because the continent is poster child for poverty doesn't mean wealth has never existed or wasn't owned by the natives before.
SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS and personal experiences if you’ve ever married into “old money” or extreme wealth… Or, alternatively - if you know someone who has.
No I never got that fun I like the triad if I could the really know I never experienced that
an undeniable disconnection. Mind your parts of speech, writer/writresse and director/directrix.
Do Stefano Massimo, svp.
My best friend married into Dutch aristocracy. She had no idea he was from a wealthy family because they met in NYC. She was shocked when her husband told her he would need to break the news of their engagement on a solo visit to his family to ensure they would accept her.
They accepted her, but were emotionally distant. Shortly after she was married and thei their first child was born, her husband was given a trust that would go to their son upon adulthood. To this day, she has no idea how much the family is worth. They never speak of their money.
In NYC, she and he worked normal jobs, but when the moved to the Netherlands they both stopped working and focused on family life. They live in one of the family homes in Amsterdam.
They go to family homes in Italy, Greece, Belgium, France...and send the children to private school.
She had to learn how to behave in certain circles in order to not be seen as a disruption.
Her husband Aub is so nice that it makes up for the awkwardness of being a part of his family, so she smiles and deals with it. She says everyone is very polite.
My fiancé comes from a wealthy family who have run their business for several generations. The first thing I noticed is that in these circles where people give each other houses and apartments like other people give flowers from the supermarket, no one says they are wealthy, let alone old-money. Even when they know it is, they say they are hard-working middle class people. Money is never talked about, but expensive things are paid for: our apartment was paid for and next year our wedding with the whole family. In general, money or prizes are never talked about - they are given away and thanked. It was difficult for me at first to fit into these circles where it is normal to send your child to private school, chess and tennis. After more than 6 years of relationship, I have adapted so that I am now sometimes a stranger to my own family, as they often do not understand the conventions of the other family.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
Think of it as you are someone who has the best of both worlds....knowing hard work, understanding the benefit of generational wealth & how to keep a level head....and knowing humbleness humility & comapssion. You'll be a refined version...note the bad traits of your side & his, then make a concerted effort to stamp em out.
Prizes? Did you mean prices?
If you "marry up" you should be aware that it's not all "paying off your debts" or "buying the best appliances". there will be frustrating times when you feel like everyone got a secret memo that you didn't- you wear slightly the wrong outfit or use the wrong terminology that makes it clear you are an outsider. And while people might always be polite to you (after all rudeness is so declasse) they might not ever be friendly or make you feel included. Plus they will generally make you sign a prenup.
Reminds me of Tom Wambsgans, season 1... 😄
Makes sense to sign a prenup...you hv a choice, no one "makes you" sign
If they aren't always graceful with you then that isn't proper.

Of course they repair old furniture because it was originally good stuff. I can´t imagine repairing something from Ikea.
as an american who is working class irish/appalachian of british descent one side, and african american/scottish on the other side, i have zero connection to “old money” and don’t think i have ever even met an old money person, but i’m just so surprised by how similar my natural approach to life is to theirs, from my fashion sense, my hobbies and interests, and knowledge and respect of family history and traditions. i’m an anomaly in my milieu.
Sometimes I feel like I am a stranger in my own family.
I have seen middle-class people trying to look like their old money. The funny thing is that there are rich people trying to pretend they’re poor. It’s a humorous irony filled with aspiration.
Old money in England might be different from the US.English old money are often struggling with the cost of running and maintaining their estates, their furniture and appliances have often seen better days. They most likely don't have the number of staff that they had back in the day.
I was a staff member for a few old money families. They are always perfectly mannered upon meeting but they are also taking your measure. They were particularly cheap with pay and high with expectations of service. One example is that I had a business mailer for new clients. This old money family clipped it to my decreased check without any discussion. This was their way of saying they would pay less if I grew my income from employment elsewhere. They expected my time to be spent on them alone. You do become an accessory to their surroundings as they do not know you, but you learn about them. Spouses never slept in the same room as they had their own wings on the estate. Their little dogs could urinate and defecate without qualm, but items had to be perfectly placed without dust bunny seen. Certain items were to never be touched and hallways of rooms were to be avoided. What I have found to be true in working between the different classes is that if you make a mistake or something needs addressed, new money can scream while old money whispers.
I think it's safe to say it's a global stressful economic/ financial downturn.. this is when the family "need to work together to restrain spending." and not bail out on yourself.. some appliances we don't need.. art can take a back seat, festivities, better to be invited than do all the extravagant show.. redifine what's necessary to what you don't need.. once you've been poor or lacking of, it's easier for sure to see what can be stroked out easing the pain of some losses, lol just a temporary adjustment.
I haven't had the opportunity of interacting with old money, but I admire their ability to make connections. Middle class socialization sometimes gets in the way for the rest of us. Social value/status comes from consumption: car, house, vacations etc. Type of job: white collar vs blue collar vs service jobs. We tend to be slaves to people's opinion of us: do we look poor, do we give the right impression, do people like us, do we have enough stuff that secures our middle class status. After all of that, there really is not much room left for other pursuits like high culture, certain types of sports, making connections with the right people. We're just caught in a trap. We're also used to doing everything ourselves, some of us feel embarrassed if we have to hire help. No wonder it's hard for people to ascend from the class they were born in. Many times it's not money, it's the mental changes we need to make that's in our way.
My ancestors were knights in what would later become Spain during the 10th century. My lineage is older than every upper class family here in the United States. No castles, no shiny armor, and we weren't super wealthy for the past 1300 years.
@@christian5327 That's interesting. I'm no expert, but I believe the convention among that group is that even though you can trace you ancestry that far back, there needs to have been substantial money in the family from generations ago. Happily, things are changing. It appears that if you get rich enough and follow the social rules, you can make it to the lower rungs of the upper class and be kind of accepted-ish. That's what seems to be happening in the UK anyway, as some of the older families begin to fall into 'genteel poverty'. You'll never be truly fully accepted, but your children might be if they go to the right schools and make the right friends. So there is hope for those who wish they could become part of the group one day. 🙂
Hmm, don't be misled by their grace and proper attitude. The old rich have their standards and they do assess people based on their educational background, social status, wealth, and sphere of influence. They just don't show what they truly think and feel towards those people lower in rank/status. I know this because I used to work in an NGO where we needed to hobnob with the old rich, new rich, and famous. Old rich folks are subtle and gracious that you don't feel they look down on you LOL.
@@whatevergoesforme5129 They are a small group and shrinking. We can see that through things like the number of chateaus that are for sale in Europe all of a sudden. They will soon enough not have a choice but to accept some new money into their network. If one is self confident and don't need their validation, then some people's snobbishness is tolerable, if getting into the group is what one desires.
Actually, capitalist economies are systemically stratified societies in which the notion of economic and social mobility are largely a myth. Due to the fact that capitalism involves a perpetual upward transfer and consolidation of wealth, all capitalist systems turn into authoritarian or totalitarian dictatorships eventually. It takes a lot more than changing your mindset if you want to be in the top .01%. You have to be willing and have the resources to buy politicians, influence policies, exploit labor, and exploit resources. After all, that's the only way to become a billionaire.
I married into a degree of wealth sometime ago. What I would have given to have his tutelage back then. I made every mistake imaginable. In fact, I had pretty much given up, until I found your videos. I will work to change my ways and fit in better. I may not 16, but I can at least try.
When money is viewed as multigenerational capital rather than one’s own, a whole new set of rules for spending emerge. Buying an expensive antique or piece of art is encouraged, but buying an expensive consumable like Starbucks each day is wasteful and discouraged. Even though that $8 coffee may seem irrelevant, it shows a lack of commitment and understanding of how money should be invested not spent.
$8.00 buy a jar of Maxwell coffee and make your own.. if coffee now is $8.00 a cup ? add another $1.00 you can have a month supply of very acceptable coffee. You would be up by $224 a month x 12 now it's $2688.00 perfect bonus.
Just having fun counting how one can save money.. it's not wealth yet, but you'll get the idea of appreciation of smart decisions.
Both my grand parents on my mother's side came from old money. There are streets named after my ancestors in Montreal near the Olympic Stadium. All that wealth was gone within a generation. My grandfather squandered and gambled it all away. His money, my grandmother's money, everything of value (furniture, jewelry, silverware, gilded gold plates, art, houses), all sold and pawned. He even took my mother's trust fund (and my aunt's). Perhaps his siblings are still old money, I don't know, because he was cut off from the family. It's really quite amazing how fleeting it is if you're not careful (even those born into it). Thankfully, my mother learned from HIS mistakes, and we ended up OK.
Almost every gesture is conditional. They want to gage how you manage money that would seem like several months salary in "regular" life. They might have 'surveillance' on said emergency credit card. They want to see how you treat THEIR money. They want to establish a sense of appreciative loyalty from you as well. They'd rather materially raise you up if you're going to marry into their family. This isn't bad in and of itself, it's just gaging how trustworthy, predictable and reliable you are with shared resources.
All these items make seense..this is why they have money, they're cautious with it, they respect money.
Not only "old money" in-laws, try marrying into a very religious family who feel superior to everyone not inside their religion or even just their individual church. The same rules apply...keep the outsider on the outside and don't grow friendlier as time goes on.
Same rules apply, minus the manners
Can you please make a video about the daily life of old money people
Sounds exhausting🥵
Much better to build your own wealth by systematic saving and investing in order to live life on your own terms!
I know its fiction but my favourite line is from Downtown Abbey when Maggie Smith's character (Lady Grantham?) says "whats a weekend". 😄
Yes, I remember that line too. Another line that made me laugh is from a conversation between Maggie Smith and “lady Mary” about friends , when Maggie Smith says: I have lots of friends I don’t like.
I agree. That was epic.
most of us will never need these tips, but a few of us will make it there, and so its good we learned some things in advance. on the other hand, some of us may observe others who are part of the old money world, and we will recognize from afar, though we may not be part of it. thanks for working so hard on these videos!
Our pleasure!
Maybe you aren't interested, but your grandchildren, nieces, nephews, it's a discussion if you really want to introduce them to the ultimate goal and lifestyle, the real deal, you can tell if you can pass on this video,, if they have not done without much, they're half way there, as they already think they're richer than you are and if they're smarter than average, it's just another pursuit , either they'll have fun with it, or they'll make it happen. You have to love the person you're pursuing that is the number one rule.. I'd pass on..
This is actually pretty spot on, however be aware of whether you are a member of the family to start off with or married into the family risking the family reputation is not done. You are above all a representative of the family, not an individual. And where connections can be used to help you they can also be used to break you.
They say if you marry into money, you'll earn every cent of it the hard way. I know of 2 people who married into money. It didn't end well for either of them.
Old money isn't always a lot of money it depends how it was managed. A lot of money was lost in the crash of 1929. Also old money families will be en garde and suspicious of someone who's not from their background.
You can't blame them, with or without wealth, if you have something mor than the average, you'll be watching carefully whom your kids/ or grandchildren are associated with as a future family member..
An excellent UA-cam channel. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!
Am totally laughing at the kitchen appliance analogy because that is just what happened. A few months ago. The 30 year old freezer went out and a new top of the line one because it was the best was put in its place. Plus a year ago. The same with the refrigerator.
I got bad news for you. Just because you put in a top of the line appliance does not mean that it will last any longer than the inexpensive one. If you look at the fine print in Consumer Reports it will tell you that the average life expectancy of a major consumer appliance like a fridge is now FIVE YEARS. Think on that. So dont be impressed with people that have money. Do they have brains and common sense and you would be surprised that this is not a function of class. Sorry about that. I have learned a lot from my older son. He is an extremely successful entrepreneur. He stared two very successful businesses and the odds against doing this are extremely miniscule. He networks like crazy with people like himself. Not one of them. Not one of them came from Money. They were all raised solidly middle class with a strong work ethic. Brains and vision and dead hungry to succeed. Few of them went to Old Money schools like Harvard or Vanderbilt or Yale. So if you pursue the trappings of success you will be disappointed and you will meet a lot of people that are disappointing too. The image is not the reality. PS The money, for the most part, goes after about five generations. Many books have been written by the Vanderbilts and how it was lost. Just my two cents. No flames please.
Useful connections are made through schools such as Eaton, Harrow and Oxford later on gentleman's long standing clubs such as Whites. The intermarriage between the English and Americans was a matter of solving financial problems a title for the money of the not so old Americans.
Don’t you remember when Prince Edward of the British Royal Family was trained as an Antique Furniture Conservator. A step with wisdom of Queen Dowager (Queen’s Mother) for the youngest or last of that lineage. Yes wisdom and forethought.👑
I don't qualify for this, but good luck to anyone who takes that path
great video
I enjoyed the secret language of old-money video. I'd love to see another one if you have the time, OML. Your videos are a pleasure to watch and an eye-opening foray into a hidden world. Keep up the good work!
I think the answer to my question is the ability and skill in making conections and contacts
Not the most expensive appliance, but the second most expensive. That one is the better quality and value.
Great video as always! The negatives are precisely how they maintain their wealth.
Beware the signs of the "evaluation period" at your peril. It may come and go just as quiely as a late night snow while you were sleeping.
My mother worked at the Colony Club in NYC. A club that rejected Mrs. Joseph Kennedy as “new money”.
Joe Kennedy WAS new money. He also had an extremely unsavory reputation.
Yes, they were new money and this family still are, respectfully we know the history of Joseph Kennedy..
My Dad worked for Old Money, yes, it’s very true how their behavior is outlined.
Good stuff ❤️. Could you list the movies you referenced in the video in the description? I’d love to check some of these out ❤
The ones that I recognise are
Titanic,
Downtown Abbey,
wolf of Wall Street
Hangover 2
Cinderella
Pretty woman
A few good men
Pride and prejudice
Crazy rich Asians
Charlie's Angels 3
Harry Potter 1
Alice in Wonderland
Richie Rich
great idea, more entertaiment & learning for those you want to share it with , as their time is approaching to think
wisely for the future, you can never have too much good health, security and amass money .. for whatever makes your heart glee with joy.
of of course you have to fall in love with that person & reciprocated love is the bigger prize.
Grew up in Brussels where my dad got s high paying job at the EEC at the time, 1970s. Nouveau yes but not flaunting it. Dad was stingy. Plenty of old money people at the international school. Some aristocrats, some wealthy business families
I never told my rich friends from Hunt Country that I was starving so that they wouldn't suspect that I was using them.
Thanks for the advice..... SCOOBY!!! JONESTOWN!!!💯💯💯
Keep in mind that if you're married into one of these families for long enough to be exposed to its skeletons, good luck getting out of the marriage unscathed if it doesn't work out. After all, it's not like any of them are going to warn you in advance if your paramour is an abuser, narcissist, addict, or philanderer. If they are, you will be expected to put up with it and look the other way. Be willing to bear the burden of the family secrets quietly and put maintaining their image above all else. And stay away from the family "fixer(s)." They will not be your ally if you get on the wrong side of their employers. One perfect example is that there's a reason a Kennedy that everyone knew was behind his girlfriend's murder remained a sitting Senator until he died.
Edward Kennedy was probably a weak man but I do not think you can accuse him of murder . Mary Jo Kopechne actually died in a car accident and it is possible the driver ( Edward ) was unfit to drive because he was a heavy drinker . The death certificate stated that she died from drowning as Edward 's car landed in a stretch of water known as Poucha Pond. Edward survived the accident but failed to notify the authorities about the accident for many hours.
You just said something I never heard. That he was behind his girlfriends death. Like Sharon Percy? There was a falling out and it ended very badly?
@@shepardsmith3235 I think it was a genuine accident but Kennedy was drunk and fled the scene rather than helping the young lady get out of the car .I do not believe a cowardly act like that would be tolerated in the UK but others probably would not agree with me .
Lets see what @howtosober says. He is the one that raised the question was this an accident or murder and that all the insiders knew. This was the first time I have heard this. I like everyone else questioned why he did not help her and that remains open even today. @@annewalden3795
my mom married into my dads old money family and I showed her this video and she said everything was so true lmao
Haha amazing :) tell her we said thanks!
How does the old money avoid getting riped off by financial planners the lawyers who craft and manage the estates ?
Because they use ppl who’ve been working for the family for a long time.
Never give anyone but your lawyers power of attorney, and that includes your bankers. If they don't have control over your bank accounts and property, you're much better protected. Your financial advisor should be overseen by your lawyers. Your lawyers will be top-notch, from a top-notch old law firm. Even then, pay attention and don't let years go by without checking on your affairs.
Never, ever cheap out on financial or legal help. Many high-profile cases of an investment advisor ripping off a "client" was a relative or friend. Lauren Hutton, Doris Day, Billy Joel, LeAnn Rimes, Anne Hathaway, and many others.
Regretably, the truth is your money isn't safe with the ones we trust the most.
you need more than 1 lawyer from different firms and definitely more than 1 financial advisor..
I have a very distant connection to someone with money. His wife’s car’s key fob died. He went to get it fixed but came away with a new car for her instead. I’m underemployed and can’t even afford rent so it was mind boggling.
My family is wealthy and has been for 4 generations. My car key fob died and I took my husband’s car to buy a $5 battery that I swapped with the dead one in my key fob. It took less than 10 minutes. The person you know is just reckless.
Bravo Bravo 🎉 Excellent Video
Beautifully done.
Thank you very much!
My forebear's silk factory estate in Germany has been accruing interest since the 1700s, but my kinswoman burned the documentary proof that we are descendants back in the 1800s. Agents were sent to USA to find the heirs, but no proof could be given. Move onward and make own fortune, then.
I am positively surprised by the aspects of honouring wealth presented.
I enjoy watching these episodes but I think old money world is not for me. Besides consumption habits, if have to buy something I too prefer classic and something which lasts. But I also prefer people around me are there because they think I am at least OK 😄 and not because of family name, connections etc.
Your morality-based statement gives away your middle social class position. Working class and upper class don't think like that.
well, this is why there are less wealthy families because the lifestyles and amassing all that goes with it, isn't their priority, its great we are all different, still great reading to understand for some the attraction and for others,
it's unimportant .. I truly believe your background is an underlying reason to what is attractive and unattractive to others.
I went to school with old money as a child. I will say today while I am a “working stiff”…I was amused to find out thru mu Ancestry DNA that some of those people are 3rd and 4th cousins. And I knew more about the family history in the British Isles than they did…and where some the money came from…and why my side was disinherited.
Definitely more positives than negatives
I am neither “old” or “new” money I am just “no money” LOL
At least you have a great sense of humour. Some old money people definately lack that :)
You and me both sis 😂
Well if you want old or new money, you can have it, you just have to reinvent your life to attract money, it will be fun think of it as a hobby.. Good luck J.
I dont come from old money but money nonetheless. My family is shallow and greedy while putting on how helpful they are. I had to escape. In doing so I learned their entire lives were lies. Smoke and mirrors.
thank you for sharing this with us.. now it's your turn to do it your way.. good luck
A cool video again. Keep it up
Thanks, will do!
@@oldmoneyluxury I'm a little jealous of your success, but quality and effort always pay off.
We'll meet at the top 😉
I am a FAN of Caroline Kennedy ... She is ... SIMPLY THE BEST!!! ... Seriously ... These women create a lot of ideas and services.
Sounds like a sweet deal to me. The 'negatives' are precisely why they've managed to hold onto their wealth. Too bad this video didn't exist before Meghan got married 😆
😂
She may not have googled it 😅😅😅
I doubt this person misses anything, she's good for several decades, clearly fake, she won't snag anyone smarter nor wealthier, than getting lucky with the Prince. She should step back and let him take the limelight as he may get tired of her.. then she really then should be worried. Without him, she's just known for the actress of a part of a show. There will never be another young Harry..coming her way anytime soon, just saying.
Meghan is a dark character. She is only the face of more powerful political associates who are doing their best to prevent the freedom of the press and to dictate what information should be allowed to be published on social media. If they can dictate what people are allowed to see and what they are allowed to say they will be able to control global propaganda and influence people globally to accept their mindset for their own powerful ambitions. The fact that the general worlds population is getting bored and tired of Meghan is a scary thing for thus sociopathic and malignant narcissistic woman. You could see the discomfort and fear when she was an honoured guest at the Kevin Costner Gala.
Make no mistake she and her associates are evil and promoting her is only a tiny part of their overall plan. Why do you think she was promoting Nigeria? Do you know that her mother was jailed a significant 10 years on drug related charges? How do you think they can afford her and Harry's drug use? Why do you think her physical appearance and condition is deteriorating? Why do you think she and Harry are desperate to make money? Are her children real? If so how does a 40 year old woman successfully carry two children to term with no physical problems? Do you know that the possibility that Harry is not the son of King Charles and that he only Carrie's his Duke title because of his position of accession to the throne?
On the other hand Prince William is showing the world the decorum, actions and taste of old money in a very dignified way. Do you know how old clothes that have been worn by royalty and even the significant pieces of old jewelry are updated and redesigned into mire appropriate styles for the individuals taste and presentation.
In the event of the Death of King Charles and the accession of Prince William to the throne and the granting of the title of Prince of Wales to Prince George there is a possibility that the title of Duke of Sussex will be stripped away from Harry and this title will be bestowed on another member of the royal family.
I have heard that there is the distinct possibility that the FBI, CIA, MI5, MI6 and other security agencies are following Meghan and Harry"s entourage and watching them closely. Dark couple indeed. Much darker than bronzing spray.

Jolly good 👍😂
Dammit you beat me to first
The rules are not the same on both sides of the Atlantic. This video is exclusively about the USA and does not translate to the aristocracy of Europe where no amount of money makes up for lack of manners, and where the discussion of money or wealth is considered ill-bred and vulgar.
I think this is the exception rather than the old rule, unless you're royalty.
BRAVO !
The number of wealthy families in the American South with origins in moonshining is shocking. These families may not be in the mega-rich camp, but they could be holding tens of millions of dollars with kids at Vanderbilt or Emory or the like.
I can't imagine the parents in law paying off your credit cards or overdraft.

Well ,it’s HYPOCRISY regarding “old money “ people having disdain towards “new money “ people displaying wealth .When their old money was new money they did the same thing .
8:47 what movie is this clip from?
If you dare to marry into old money you will be asked where are your people from? In other words what’s your family history meaning were your family important and where did they make their wealth. If you can’t contribute to the standing of the wealthy you must have something else,talent,good education etc to appeal to them. It must have been difficult for a person like Meghan Markle to fit into the royal family for she had neither to offer. Her marriage to Harry wouldn’t have lasted if she had remained in England. Wisely she headed for American with her prince.
so far........
She could only scream I'm a big hollywood star/actress, look I've tricked your Prince. & now I'm tricking you,
What are the rules of tipping?
I dated an "old money" man and his family only tipped 10% - right down to the cent.
I was shocked as on my meager wages, I tip 20%, unless the service was terrible.
In my experience wealthy people hold onto their money. That's how they became rich in the first place, and they get away with it. The wealthier you are the more freebies and favours you receive. It's a funny old world.
@@annc560 Interesting🧐
I read 20% here in Canada
Also if you have a disability be prepared for the change in care givers they will go from agency/ government providers to the best of the best like the norlands of care, but you are expected to make some people or to remain where you are and with a progressive disease this can be an issue for the older generations but the younger generation, will include you in the name of equity.
A lot of your footage is of the Edwardian period I think things might have changed a bit since then.
Not in the old money crowd.
like a lot has changed over the decades.
If both couples are from the old money background, then there is no problem because they share the same values. This video is intended for those plebs who wish someone from the old money.
Thouse values is excatly why someone can become old money. Even poor people can start to adept thouse values and by that rise in socioeconomical ladder.

Watching this video, I cannot help but think of the American woman M***** M***** who married Prince Harry. 🤔
This seems to be a very American take on things.
I like to marry in the family
Nope. In old money families they give importance to pedigree and background. No matter how much u try its not possible to fit in like another person raised in an old money family
Whew, sounds exhausting -- unless you're born into it, I guess. Doesn't appeal to me at all. To each her own.
You, Virgos will remember: don't lie to me. Ever. Ever. Ever.
Meghan markle would have benefited from 21 minutes of your time.
Lol
She didn't listen to those who were especially sent to advise her. Either she didn't think she needed it or she already planned on leaving.
it's too late for her, can't change her ways, she knows "everything" which is her demise. She's out of her league, the first time she met Harry's family..

I married into old money

I grew up in a poor immigrant family from Cuba. I have always had the mindset of old money, dress for stealth and never speak about money; it's considered vulgar. When I was in Junior High School, in the NYC public school system. My guidance counselor asked me what ambitions I had. I replied, "I am going to conquer the world." She asked me, "And how are you going to do that ?" I answered logically, "The problem with Hitler, Napoleon and Alexander the Great. They made too much noise, and brought too much attention to themselves. I am planning on doing it quietly." She asked me again, "And how are you going to do that ?" Me, "I don't know yet, I'll figure it out." A week later, I was thinking about having several sons when I marry. Sending them out into the world, becoming financiers. Sending them to NYC, London, Paris, Munich, Milan. For the past year, I have been learning about the Rothschild family, and how they developed their generational wealth. It scared me, because when I was 12/13 years-old in Junior High School. I had the same strategy, and I knew nothing about the Rothschild family. I don't know if I am a reincarnation of Mayer Rothschild, or just a fluke. Let's see what my financial intellect will dictate, what will my financial future be ? Hmm...🤔.
Old money is gangster stolen money, all these kings and queens and their cronies stole land jewels and threatened people to do what they say.
A WHACK !!! from King Willy the Conqueror and Harry's head broke the Dog bowl !!!!
The statute of limitations has long since expired…
Sad but history has those answers..
No thanks!
People of old money only care about the status of all when children ended up marrying towards another old money as an arranged marriage instead of following the own path by staying in their family mold of their status.
Oooo 🙃
😒😒
I'd be my ol self who knows they might learn something. 😊
Lol. I think that is what Markle did lol.
How did the England get their old money go figure😮

Thank you. There is old money in Africa and Asia as well.
@@temaswati-dlamini where did you get your information from?
@@temaswati-dlamini Yes, in Asia, we have old money and these families also go way back as land owners.
I live in an African Kingdom where land has been owned for generations by chiefs and other sons of previous kings given to them by the monarchy. Other monarchies throughout the continent and other old money families of wealth gain do exist. Just because the continent is poster child for poverty doesn't mean wealth has never existed or wasn't owned by the natives before.
