Maybe it’s the fact that I am basically a couple generations removed from my kin being old money, but I think I’d rather just have a pair of pearl handled navy revolvers on the mantle instead. Combine that with tailored clothes and a butcher on call, maybe have a personal shooting range with access to what is effectively a personal hunting reserve.
its called mara-lago face, on reddit with the same post, people said they are this way to attract conservative men, to whatever platform they are on, they are very shallow people.
Fair enough, wonder why there is the difference though since even a lot of younger members of old money families seem to pull the same shit. My only guess is that it’s connected to the concept of noble obligations that being that with wealth came responsibility, it’s the best guess I have since a lot of American old money pulls from old European aristocrats to some degree.
Mind you this is mostly based off of my observation of how long my kin held wealth vs how they held themselves. The ones who couldve been called new money blew it all within a couple generations, the ones who had the oldest lineage of nobility at worst lost and rebuilt it within a generation. Probably a side effect of chasing glory and honor vs building up wealth as a number, also probably helps to have a thousand tales of your ancestors fucking up to pull wisdom from.

That’s actual old money, building sometime that lasts. These people are new money and are flashy with it instead of buying appreciating assets
