The media in the west only show western countries like the US and Western European as the only places with wealth or dynastic familial wealth, when that could be farther from the truth. Old money defined as having wealth/heritage/statues in one's family for multiple generations such as land, titles and etc exist in Asia and Africa( not sure about south america). There are still monarchies in africa that exist prior to colonization that still maintain their rule like Morocco which their dynasty is the oldest ruling family in africa since before 1500, the Lesotho monarchy has been ruling since the 1800's and the Eswatini dynasty(which I am a member of by birth) has been ruling since the mid 1600's. We still have our lands, titles and traditions intact. (Also wealth signifers differe from culture to culture) AS well as many monachies/cheifdom( similar to the british peerage) are still existing under african states such as the Zulu monarchy under South Africa & the Ashanti monarchy under Ghana are recognized in the country's constitution , have titles , get income from the government, have their palaces and have a bit of power over the region they govern. While other are defunct in ever sense but have historically lineages. Asia there is the thailand monarchy (Thailand has never been colonised by western nations , Japan monarchy the oldest dynasty to rule a nation in the world) the monarchy of Brunei and a few other that I can't think of at the moment. Could add the middle east monarchies but those are well known and I consider them old money since they have had the land they govern for a long. 5:38 you might have meant the black african American but they are old money( maybe even non-royal ones)in the african continent. Thanks for clarifing about Sofia's husband old money status, I was so confused how he was one when is father's background was not so posh and was recently knighted around 2016.
I agree with everything you said, maybe I should have clarified but my video is primarily in relation to Western society. This is mainly because e.g. the clothing I talk about refers to Western Clothing. I know that some African countries, as well as Asian and Middle Eastern countries still have royal families but I wanted to keep the conversation relevant to the West because I knew that Succession would be a huge part of the video since it’s been the centre of the topic and the videos once been seeing online.
Thank you finally someone siad the truth you buying a zara jacket or anything else from fastfahion is not going to make you look like old old money. i always laughed when people would try to recreate a 5000 dollar out fit with H&m and zara clothing it was not the same side by side you could tell which was the cheap clothing.
Great video, thanks for the distinction between the two esthetics. I’m definitely for selecting quality items that fit well, and endure. Since the logo mania came out I found that the quality of those very brands went down. I’d like to see more timeless clothes because they are ultimately more sustainable due to their enduring quality.
LOL, only a social-climbing nouveau riche would ever care so much to look "old money" - and they can easily be spotted a mile away. If you weren't born into the "club", you are very unlikely to ever be truly accepted as "one of us". Everything, from the way you speak, the different languages you speak, your cultural background - including race (sorry, it is unfortunately true), how many generations your family has been part of "good society" and how your family became wealthy. The true "Haute Monde" is brutal and very judgemental - they will be polite and kind but they'll never consider you to be "one of us" unless you were born into their world..
Very tre I live in Guatemala where there are old coffee finca barons. Some still own vast tracts of cofee land and some have diversified their wealth investing in a new imported from the US and Europe economy. It is fast becoming Americanized, a consumer economy.
you totally spoiled the Succession finale for me. and I haven't watched it yet 😢 I would have liked a spoiler warning, at least. And the spoiler was unnecessary to begin with. Had nothing to do with the topic of the video. That was not cool.
My multimillionaire boyfriend I thought was a homeless man... SERIOUSLY! He took a stealth liking to me via a conversation I was having with a male friend who was sitting next to him on a park bench. I own a home in the the area, the equivalent in Central America of colonial Williamburg...the former traditional capital of all Central America settled in the 1500 and 1600s. He arranged to meet me at a social dinner at a restaurant with mutual friends attending. Suddenly he showed up everywhere I went and sat next to me charming me with his very sharp, very educated mind. First thing I did was check out his hands...they were not the hands of a homeless person. Nor was his dentition. I thought he was homeless til then. He had on a very soft hoodie, hood pulled up over his head on a mild tropical day of 70s. I found since that he wears it everywhere all the time! He is thin and tends to feel chilled.His beard needed trimming as did his eyebrows and hair, once I saw the hoodie down. I felt sorry for him..thought him a Social Security retiree in a lower cost of living country,perhaps living in a small room amd eating beans and tortillas to survive. Well he DID have a tiny apt he rents year round to hold onto it as he is gone nearly half the year. So I contiued thinking him poor as I got to know him and fell in love with him. Now I am visiting his Chicago lakeshore condo for a month, later on to one he owns in Portland...He has left me the Chicago one ...I have seen the paperwork. I am not in need of it, I have a lovely home abroad, but he knows I have a deep fondness for Chicago, went to grad school here, enjoy the culture and shopping. He wants me to inherit it so I can come summer rainy seasons here...sweet dear man, who I love. Likely there is nothing else he thinks I would find useful or meaningful at my age having had a rich full and adventurous life. I have visited the museums in Europe, sailed the Caribbean in my own sailboat for nearly a decade, been on many cuise ships to and fro to Europe over the past decade, backpacked Europe when young and visited my mother in Surrey, England many many times. I was widowed last year and thought my life was virtually over re change and adventure. I am 75 he is 82 , two years older than my former spouse of 41 years. He isnt old money,he is new...a computer software engineer which is how he made his money...I made mine investing in software and hardware companies in the 90s which is how I was able to retire at 50 to sail the Caribbean for a decade with my former spouse. BTW NO sailor dresses like a RL model....its t shirts and shorts in the Caribbean...New Englamd sailing does call for long pants and sweaters often Sperry docksider shoes are de regeur on any boat...there are other more expensive brands NOW but those are the classics, brown leather ones or canvas tops. I laugh when I see ads featuring dresses whipping in the wind around shrouds and non rubber soled shoes....in RL ads and others. There IS no less glamourous clothung than sailing clothing. It is about comfort, safety and practicality period. Never judge a book by its cover. This man treatd hi señf lile a newborn babe...his t shirts are as soft as down having been laundered over many years. Every single thing he puts onhis body anywhere must he soft as cashmere. Fashionable? Uh no! But his lack 8f fashion has become absolutely charming to me. He must yave the softest sheets, pillowcases, balnketd...everything that touches him and he likes soft soft touching as well. He is the gentlest kindest most authentic soul I have ever known.
Ethnic old money is not " seen" because it is not in MEDIA as European lux is. Asian money is not flaunted on European media but it does exist and has for generations, Arabic money is not part of European media but is almost exclusively old money... African black money has dynasties of of royalty ( and black on black exploitation). Pointing to whites as exploiters of black slavery to garner their wealth is poor analysis and indicates a narrow bias.
The video is about the conversation surrounding old money, quiet luxury and stealth wealth that’s been in the media. The old money aesthetic has been about imitating old money clothing in Western culture and I mention Sofia Richie and Succession because they’ve been the centre of this topic online. They’re what is trending with this topic so I don’t know what you expected. Different cultures have their own cultural clothings, norms, languages, history etc. the value that we hold to certain brands, clothing, lifestyle may be different elsewhere and vice versa. I do mention in the video that old money wealth can come from “slavery, plutocracy and exploitation” but of course because my video is about the topic in mainstream media and pop culture, I have to relate it to that. This means relating it to Western culture because if you didn’t notice the lifestyle and clothing I talk about in the video is literally within Western standard. I also think you’re weird for the way you mention “black on black exploitation” as though just the general statement of me saying “exploitation” or even “slavery” wasn’t explanation enough but of course your entire comment comes from you getting defensive as though it’s not common sense to infer that those things happen all over the world and that even if I am mentioning specifically in relation to the West, it doesn’t mean I’m denying it happens elsewhere. There’s a difference between having bias and focusing on a specific part of a topic. I don’t remember ever denying or even mentioning old money in Arab or African countries which should have stopped you in your tracks when you decided to tell me I have “poor analysis” and a “narrow bias” on areas of a topic I chose not to mention because they’re irrelevant to the video I intended on making.
They talked about the "old money aesthetic", specifically. Which is what we see in the media today. The quiet wealth one. It's obvious on social media today. It's pretty accurate. She was focusing on that.

The first picture you showed for old money was the kenedy's not the vanderbuilts.
Thank you for letting me know
My husband is stealth wealth. For the life of me I will never understand logos all over your clothing and bags, it's just so tacky.
Old Money is, above else, polite. Old Money would NEVER comment on someone's bag. Old Money would never notice a bag.
Old money is good manners, being polite and not flaunt its wealth.

old money = WASP
Fantastic video, wow you hit so many points on everything.
Excellent presentation!👜🌹
Nice video! You did great. And "not everything has to be an aesthetic" lmao

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and i completely agree with you.
you could’ve put in spoiler alerts 👎🏾
what did spoiling succession add to the video

Well-thought out descriptions of the various styles. If I taught fashion history, this would be a great read!
Great video! Thanks for sharing x
It is also possible to "just" like old money aesthetic without trying , fantasizing or wanting to be part of that world! I know I do...😁
Very tre I live in Guatemala where there are old coffee finca barons. Some still own vast tracts of cofee land and some have diversified their wealth investing in a new imported from the US and Europe economy. It is fast becoming Americanized, a consumer economy.
17:07 did you just spoil us the show ????? tf
sorry
THANK YOU FOR THE TIME STAMP 🙏
Well done 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
I enjoyed this 👍🏽
