If I suddenly won the lottery, the last thing I’d want to do is try to blend in with the rich. I’ll use the money to be independent and isolate myself lol
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. The rich could give yout tips on how to maintain the wealth and pass it on safely to your descendants.
@@leverage2279 nope, I don’t need to try and make people like me. I’ll learn to invest and grow my money. I’ll get a second citizenship elsewhere and move abroad. I’m not interested and I don’t need to try to fit in with the 1%. I can lead a normal life, just with the freedom of being financially free.
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.
Let us remember that in old money families there are also suicides, divorces, betrayals, illegitimate children, depression, bankruptcies, diseases, alcohol addictions, unloved children, and many different pathologies.
Yeah, same as everyone else, except they have a lot more money and freedom otherwise. And there are plenty of wealthy people who are really good people too. You can marginalized it all you want but it still doesn’t make you better or worse than another person. It’s also not a good justification to not to try to be successful in your own rite.
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.
@keijimorita1849 I'm also working part-time but will end that soon for early retirement. I'm not worried about not having enough to do - I spend lots of time already on music (piano) and also sports. Looking forward to just doing music, sports, and lots of travel soon.
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.
@@zakosistthey’re literally profiting off other demise, so yes they can be blamed also. They’re not doing anything different to change that. Give the money back to the ancestors offspring and then you can tell us not to blame those trash bags
@@zakosist But they have control over what they take pride in. They have control over returning the loot or say sorry for the massacres. They have control over their desire to try to make the life better for the people whose life their ancestors ruined.
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!!
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
Met a lot of old money people. They keep the old things which are good. Princess of Thurn and Taxis kept the woods for her son. And gave the big Chateau of Emmeran to the state for paying taxes. Clever girl. The woods will stay for every generation in the future. They family can live for ever in the chateau, but the debts are paid by the state. The roof, the restauration, all the conservation work is done by the state.. That is the contract. She has still houses in the US, in Italy, in South Africa. And her son has the woods. And an other very old family, over 1000 years old, did the same. They kept the money maker (big vine yards) and the state pays for the chateau the family lives. The now Prince studied in Harvard.
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.
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..
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Only a fool sinks money into an over-priced bauble that does nothing but display the time (using outmoded technology, btw) while simultaneously throwing up a flag to muggers that you are potential prey.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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?
I feel sad for the people who care. If someone believes they are better than you and they don't want anything to do with you because they were born wealthy and you weren't -they are not worth getting to know.
Being old money means you did nothing to get there. Nothing to shame, but also nothing to boast. If an entrepeneur turns into new money, he does have something to boast. He is morally superior to them, no need to be accepted.
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.
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.
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 ..
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
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.
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.
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...

While there is something gauche and vulgar about New Money, the fact is they must be given credit for the entrepreneurial spirit that got them there. There is nothing to be ashamed of in inheriting wealth, but the person who built a wildly successful business and now lives high on the hog should also not be laughed at. They paid their dues and built their fortune, whip cares of they wear too many cheesy logos?

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.
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.

🤣
While true, they do not want to leave friends waiting, but there are clocks everywhere now.
What about patek philippe then
Most normal well-adjusted adults keep to some kind of schedule. being able to tell the time is important, even if it's only for yourself.
@@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. Only a fool sinks money into an over-priced bauble that does nothing but display the time (using outmoded technology, btw) while simultaneously throwing up a flag to muggers that you are potential prey.
Old money people respect everyone equally 🤗... A person's essence is what is meaningful for them🤗
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.
*aside from myself, old money is not wasting time in TH-cam comments*
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.
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.
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.
I truly enjoyed watching this video. I watch a lot of this type of content and I have found (with respect) most of it cut and paste with nothing new to offer.. However yours was different ..Firstly let me thank you for having this video narrated with such a lovely voice and not a soulless computer voice. Secondly thank you for not starting the narration out with "Hi guys"...My instant response is a thumbs down and mental note to never again click on their content ..kind of a litmus test.. I look forward to continuing to follow your channel and yes i have thumbs upped and subscribed..🌹
I have "old" money, but I keep it in the family safe.
Old money aesthetic is bollocks. Why do people want to pretend that their ancestors were rich
Well. There is a time and place for everyone to live like this one day!

It's an acquired taste really! Unless your born into it! Here's to living a more Elegant and Purposeful Life!☝️⚔️⚖️🙏🕊️
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?
Old money would not be welcomed in my life...
Be yourself, give no fecks ❤
Love these insights 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love this story. Because old money are very modesty. Where new money is all over the place. No kind of respect.
Most of them are very low-key but definitely not modest.
If you have to buy your own furniture or house then you’re vulgar new money…….thats why new money rush to buy everything ‘old’. It’s fabulously funny.
OR architecture of bygone eras is just far more beautiful than anything that's built today.
Yeah, yeah, their lives are so ideal and perfect... Good story bro.
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.
Fake rich is the biggest problem of 2000s onwards...really sad it is
I feel sad for the people who care. If someone believes they are better than you and they don't want anything to do with you because they were born wealthy and you weren't -they are not worth getting to know.
Being old money means you did nothing to get there. Nothing to shame, but also nothing to boast.
If an entrepeneur turns into new money, he does have something to boast. He is morally superior to them, no need to be accepted.
Longing for something is a better feeling then having it
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.
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.
I love wen she says SUBSTANCE
Old money is nothing more than people that were once new money! 😊
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 ..
Blood money. It's that simple.
Vive heureuse vive cachée = live happily live hidden
You could at least quote correctly : « pour vivre heureux, vivons cachés », not your word salad
Your fits are on point. You should put the name of the brands.
Well the great thing about old money is they don't have to look at us,talk to us or acknowledge us heathens
So it’s like the New England elite vs the LA Rich & Famous (for being famous). Class vs Cash.
money….while it may open doors, the trick is to know exactly which doors one wishes to enter.
Old money attitudes among poor people is the worst ever. You have done nothing besides copying somebody else's clothes but with horrible fabric
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
Love this. It's entertaining and fun.
I see the word ‘ luxury’ and I’m
Like … nah…
The Beverly Hillbillies had it all.
let's pretend that their grandfather wasn't also nobody. most degenerated parts of the society are those "old money"
The old money folks have their own dilemma and peculiar, specific problems. Glad to be not one of them.
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
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.
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...
Do you think New money people would be happy if Old money people wish to sit with them?
My boss is most guilty of trying to be elitist with his tiny 5 million fortune
Either you grew up with them or not, same schools and clubs.
lydia millen taking notes
If all the sudden I found myself rich I would start a business right here at home and put my fellow Wichita tons to work it takes money to make money so you better invest in something❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m not old money, I can bake a tortilla, I’m older money
Behind every great fortune, there is a great crime.
While there is something gauche and vulgar about New Money, the fact is they must be given credit for the entrepreneurial spirit that got them there. There is nothing to be ashamed of in inheriting wealth, but the person who built a wildly successful business and now lives high on the hog should also not be laughed at. They paid their dues and built their fortune, whip cares of they wear too many cheesy logos?
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.
I Am From One Of The Oldest American Families European Ancestors Aristocracy This Video Is Pretty Much Spot On .
These are mostly clichés and stereotypes in a narrative written by the middle-class.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHO THE GIRL ON THE THUMBNAIL IS
A fair question.
AI generated model
The fact that you even care is ridiculous and belittling yourself. Buy and wear whatever you like and makes YOU happy!!!
1:10 If they do that they are not that nice people...
Wealth aside there is absolutely NOTHING that sounds appealing about these interactions.
Meh there’s not a lot of old money families in America and tg
Good.
5% leak water (waste as fresh) to 3 % airfresh spray what often is missing long so i vititet gb in times off not minder 5 years an nothing done chande from hotel to mason , that about the tatste , . The german Lloyd thank you .
We live in a world of posers, but unbeknownst to them, they stick out like desperate wannabes.
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.
Being fake Ritch is embarrassing 😂 😂 😂
Do they welcome the royals ?
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
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 can’t hear both music and and voice. It is boring.
One or the other.
Oh pleeeeease!
This video is so cute as if people really know old money or socialised with them. I highly doubt it but I know someone will say that they actually do and give me some make-a-believe story. Pretending to know rich people is more cringe than wealth flexing.
This the UK.
