All what i want IS having money, old or New doesn't matter 😂

I have this mindset, (*I Was debt free by 35) Leaving a legacy to my children. Old money starts with me. Have to start somewhere.

When I studied at the University of Cambridge I became quite close friends with the nephew of a Countess and I can confirm so many of these points! He was one of the most polite guys I've ever met, but also one of the most confident due to his family history. From his clothes I would have never guessed he was of noble descendent: for instance, when playing tennis he wouldn't dress in anything fancy, but told me later on he had a tennis court at home where he played with his dad!!

I used to tutor/babysit a 15-year-old girl from an old money family before sending her off to a British boarding school. I spent a week with her in the best hotel, showed her around the city, trained her English communication skills etc. Everything she used looked luxurious, but like Anna always says, no logo (well, until she opened her washbag and there was obviously something from Chanel). She never showed me that "I've paid you, peasant" attitude like most my other clients do. She told me to order any room service, showed appreciation for my help and called me "big sister" (I was melted). The only thing she requested during the week was Shin Ramyun (spicy instant noodles). I refused to spend her money and had a week of Shin Ramyun with her.

Prior to meeting her, I had met her older sister, who apparently had several Hermes bags which she took to the meeting room, put on the floor and casually shoved under the desk. That's a strong contrast with those who threw their bags and coats in your face. These sisters are eye-opening, in a very good way. They are friendly, kind, and humble; even if they hired you to do things for them, they would treat you with respect. At times I heard my colleagues joked about how the sisters owned so many Hermes bags at a young age, that they were spoiled etc. I told them about the Shin Ramyun and educated my colleagues not to be so judgemental. Seriously, they're not spoiled or big spenders, that's the price range they are comfortable with but it's unfortunately not the same as your range.

P.S. One funny story. One time when my boss was travelling to China, the parents of these sisters were also on a business trip there and they invited my boss for dinner. My boss wore his best suit and had his hair done and such, but eventually, the clients took him to the street food market and wondered why my boss was so over-dressed🤣

My fiancé came from an old money family. Can you believe that he worked at fast food and coffee shops when he was younger just to learn to be an independent person? He’s so down to earth that you will never think that they are that rich.

He’s a CEO in their family business now and he treats his employees with so much respect. He’s a wonderful man ☺️

One of my Mother's biggest complaints was that we were too poor for me to go to Finishing School. Later, I got a job working for a prominent "old money", as you say it, family and her first comment was "Now you will learn some manners!" Haha. My employers treated me very nicely and I learned a great deal about how things are done. Good manners, a knowledge of etiquette, being cultured and having a good education will take a person quite far in life. Some of these things build character so that even if a lady doesn't have the opportunity to move in the first circles, she will always stand out as a fine person. What I like about "old money" is that such people are often very pleasant and easy. They are often quite discreet about things and have a sense of service and obligation towards others. They are comfortable about themselves and do not feel the need to boast about their possessions or lives. What I dislike is that such circles can be rather closed to people who are not the same as they are. I think the best thing is to take such people at face value, not to try to be like them but to emulate the good points that are accessible.

My parents came from "old money", growing up i only wore tailored clothing, and my mom actually had stores closed down so she can shop. That being said, everything anna said is SPOT ON...the richer you are, the more low key you are ...you will never see millionaires act like they are so filthy rich....everything is subtle but absolutely polished and "clean". They always respect service people, and are always empathetic BUT ...to get into their personal life is VERY difficult. My mom is nice to everyone but who she calls on the phone is very few, because she trusts only those who are in the same community as she is. I revolted when i was a kid, but now being older i actually appreciate and enjoy her style...very classy

Anna, you should do a video on (traditionally) old money/classic brands vs nouveau/flashy brands. As you mentioned, it can be difficult to find or hear of more subtle designers if you didn’t grow up with them!
Edit: You could even divide it into different videos—activewear, formal, travel, seasonal, etc. Learning of lesser-known but classic, timeless, and quality brands would be wonderful.

Yes! In my 20"s, I worked in a store selling fine jewelry. Many times the people that looked as if they couldnt afford anything actually were from old money. Never be rude to anyone ! Dont underestimate people.

My husband comes from an Old Money family. Apart from studying in the best schools, he’s also worked on the trash collecting system, lived in the dangerous neighborhoods to save money, as well as other small jobs because his family kept him out of the money privileges from the teenage to the young adult life, so that he could learn about life.
Now a days he runs the family business, and he is a very kind person. Sometimes I get pissed off to the fact that people sometimes try to hurt him on the back, taking his kindness for granted, but then I realize that I have a lot to learn from him.
For the fact that he’s got this safety net, a lot of these things don’t actually affect him, he can take his time to learn how to be a good manager, without losing his character or getting emotionally affected to what’s going around him.

I am an anxious person, as I come from a poor background, sometimes I take too seriously when a situation doesn’t go as I was expecting, or people try to undermine the projects, its just seem I am about to lose everything.

This is the difference from the old money people, they tend to be calm, relaxed, even when things go wrong, they seems to always have a solution, someone to call, something that they can pay… because they know that is just a point to be overcome and literally just a few things can really impact their status.

And by the way, he is the kindest guy I have ever met. On our first date we had the most amazing conversations, so relaxed and able to listen, not trying to sell himself out. (Actually he kind of lied and told me he worked on marketing, for a small company, he was starting to have the first clients. And I thought he was broke, but a hardworking guy and passionate guy about to have a bright future). He drove me home and said “bye”, with a nice smile, waited until I got inside. He didn’t try to kiss me or something like that. I just felt so comfortable around him that I decided we could be good friends…

But then he had extra plans, he would literally go see me in my poor neighborhood everyday, to walk out my dog with me at late night.

I mean, I have dated a broke guy who lived close by, he would stay in the car waiting for me to walk the dog so that we could hang out., he wouldn’t even give the dog some attention. My husband used to leave his “palace” and cool neighborhood just to walk out my dog with me and have a couple minutes of chatting every single day.

After about 15 days he asked me to be his girlfriend. It seems like a teenage story but we were about 25. The sweetest guy ever.

Of course I got very confused after discovering his background, I wouldn’t even have proper clothes to all of his social events. I used to get stressed out about going to restaurants and not being able to share the bills, cause he’s lifestyle was completely over my budget. I didn’t want to feel that I was selling myself out, but I really liked him. So I had to open up and talk about how this had been stressing me out, not him, but our differences, from budget, lifestyle, to family history, plans for the future. Fortunately, we were able to make it work.

People who have new money worked very very hard to get their money. It was not handed to them. My hat's off to hard work & perseverance.

In Egypt, the families that come from old money refer to themselves as ‘known families’. And yes, Anna’s description fits the bill. Heritage, longevity, tradition, and the family name is important within this circle.

[nanb.leenaerts]

Ironic how old money rules of “practicing subtleness” when it comes to dressing somehow seem so humble & discrete. I find that more “inclusive” than the giant logos. Ability to put elegant & very tasteful outfit, simple yet very chic, reflecting your own aesthetic - I prefer that to flashy logos, any day. :)

[marianthifragou]

I really admire old money women who are always simply dressed and although they have plenty of expensive jewelries you never see them wearing them. When i went to school the old money kids nearly never wear brands on the contrary the upper middle class was obsessed with brand clothes and branging about the prices they have paid. Old money people appreciate more your education, specially the classic style, history, poetry, ancient philosophy, than the clothes you wear.

[blissiimo]

My auntie is a countess. she is stylish, has a 'light' footprint ( eats lightly, travels lightly and is not imposing) but she is a collector experiences and is incredibly eccentric. Confidence is not an issue.

[preciousogujiofor]

Does Anna have a lesson on dressing casual but still looking Elegant?? Cos I feel most people need it.

[BeautifulDreamerK]

I always felt different compared to my peers. Wasn’t special but just different. My family and I grew up middle class but stressed the importance of education, as well as manners, etiquette, and being polite. They dressed us differently, always wrote thank you notes, always made guests feel hospitable at our house, etc. they were very picky about who are friends were. Now as I’m older, I appreciate it. I may not have a wealth of money but these stepping stones have give me a great career with potential, great style (classic always win), a reputation for being polite & well-mannered, and with a smaller group of different networks (because not everyone is polite, aware or as mannered- it actually filters out people that are more appropriate for your lifestyle and upbringing vs those who shamed my childhood bc of what my parents worked hard to give my sibling and I). Thank you, Anna for this wonderful video

As far as I met old money people while studying in Oxford, I found that nobody there is doing fillers to their lips. They are very polite and intelligent. Does not matter what you are wearing, It is a matter of your degree, knowledge and culture - talking quite, always keep smiling and ready to help.

I come from disinherited old money. My grandmother inadvertently married a "commoner" who turned out to already have a wife in Canada and did not tell her! It scandalized my rather Catholic, conservative family who were very old money. My mother grew up mostly with her grandmother who was from very old German industrial money. My mom always seemed strange to me, compared to other people's mothers, who did not obsess over manners, comment on their boyfriend's "poor breeding", or refuse to let me buy branded or polyester clothing (in the 70's revival of the late 90's, no less). She was always forcing us to annunciate and was a stickler about bad grammar. Table manners were a big deal. We couldn't go out to breakfast without her barking at us to sit up straight and keep our elbows off the tables! She seemed to always have wealthy friends, even though we were solidly middle class (and sometimes that was questionable). She did her best to insert us into a wide variety of social circumstances and teach us to interact with whomever, whenever. There were always books about various things (sailing, piloting manuals for planes (she was single-engine licensed), philosophy, gardening, history, cooking... you name it) on our large bookshelf. When we got bored, we would pick from it.
She never dressed flashy or untoward-- she was always impossibly classical in her manner of dress. Never overdid the makeup. Never did hair dyes or anything. Very natural. Did not spring immediately for the latest thing (It took ages for her to consider buying us a DVD player). Preferred antiques and classic styles to new furniture. Never drove brand new, flashy cars, even though she probably could have. She drove a classic, older Jaguar. Never wore anything branded as far as I can remember-- save a little polo horse peeking up off of her shirts. But, her grooming, skin, and demeanor were always immaculate. It was rare to find her speaking negatively of other people, and she was always subtle when she didn't like someone. Despite this, she was very decisive and had shrewd tendencies. She was an excellent businesswoman, and all of her children, with the exception of one, are now business owners.
Looking back, I see clearly that she passed down this gift of perspective. I've worked with old money elites and new money alike, in my job, and I never felt remotely insecure. I've always felt completely at eye level with everyone, whether they be homeless or live on an estate. Never struggled with what spoon to use, nor lacked the words to say what needed to be said.
My dealings with old money have been mixed. There is very much a "Picture of Dorian Gray" side to it all. I think New Money is all out in front, and on display. It leaves nothing to the imagination. And in that respect, I trust them more than I trust old money-- which is incredibly jealous of its social station and material standing-- to the extent that it can cause a hatred for the average-heeled individual that is usually carefully concealed behind their finishing school veneers. I've had to witness it first-hand, and it is tremendously ugly-- moreso than the garish logo slaves of New Money. That being said, I appreciate their value system quite a lot.
