Old Money Names Novels & Stories

Ray asked as the bellman closed the door. “There’s old money and new money. Old money, which is what me and Ava are, are people who have had money for at least ten generations or more. New money is people who had come into wealth from three or less generations, which is you.” “Does that really matter?” Ray asked with furrowed brows. This was starting to become too much for him. All he had wanted was to get Ava to come back home with him – to be with him and the boys. He hadn’t wanted new suits, coats, a fancy hotel room that was like an apartment, nor a new hair cut – God help him.

She does not give up reasoning with Dad: “But Sir, isn’t old money more concerned about grooming cultural capitals than social and economic capitals?” “Some of the old money do, but we are not like them.” My father says cynically: “If we old money pat ourselves on the shoulder for our cultural capitals and individualist education, indulging our next generation immersed only in arts or literature, sure, kids get happy, and then what? We’ll bring up soft, weak, over-sensitive creatures only to be destroyed by the power-hungered new money wolves.”

Maren finally asked. “That'll be really nice," she smiled. “And I have the perfect place in mind. " ***** "So tell me about yourself. You don't seem like someone who fights for hierarchy in the business world” They were seated in a private booth at a classic bar in which Nella had booked. There weren't many people in it despite the fact that it was midday, and the tempo of the music was just enough for people to hear each other speak. “Oh no, my great grandfather was a duke and so was my grandfather. My dad was the civilised one, and he didn't accept the duke title but he did accept the money though” they both chuckled. "You can call it old money”

To most people, marrying into a wealthy family is the ultimate jackpot in life for them, but to me, it was a burden I didn’t want. I had heard about wealthy people and their marriages, especially women who are not in the same social class as they are. My father himself comes from a very wealthy family. In fact, they are one of the first families to invest in the oil industry in America during the mid 60’s. They also invested in the train industry in the early 20th century, so you can say his family is what we call old money. My mother came from an average lower middle-class home turned orphan.

Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt could not give the family a moment of rest too. The old folks expected money from their kin for the holidays since their savings were spent on Old Mrs. Hunt’s hospital stay. The seniors did not feel comfortable without any money, so they tried to get money from the rest of the family for retirement. John said, “Dad, Serenity’s husband is the York guy. He’s Mr. York, the heir of the York family. I’m talking about the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon. He’s worth billions.”

“The significant families. The ones with history and reach and the kind of money that has been money for long enough that it no longer needs to announce itself.” “Old money.” I surmised. “Exactly.” He said. “I heard you met Lotus. Lotus family. The Martinez family. Several others. They are members because their bloodlines built the thing.” He looked at me steadily. “The D’Angelo family is new money. My father made his fortune inside a single generation. He is successful, he is powerful, and he has never been permitted inside that room.” I began to understand where this was going.

“I miss the good ol’ days. When your mama used to drag all of you down here. The Calloways practically paid my rent.” My mouth tugs into a smile. “Happy to be of service.” “How’s your mama? Still hitched to that buffoon?” “You mean my dad?” He scoffs. “If that’s what you call him. I would’ve treated her better. Woman never gave me a shot.” “Yeah, I can’t imagine why.” Oldie — probably not even his real name — is somewhere in his seventies now. He never corrected us when we called him that as kids. He just wore the nickname like a crown.

Wilson placed the document by Romero's side, the latter took the document, his eyes widened in surprise as he stared up at Wilson who was smiling. Romero couldn't believe what he was seeing “Wait…? Is this?” Wilson nodded, his excitement evident on his face, “Yes, the Old Wealth are at it again, they have upgraded your plan to the gold level.” “Oh!” Romero stood to his feet, a bright smile curled his lips. There were four levels in the ‘Old Wealth' and they are the Bronze level, the Silver level, the Gold and the Premium. Each level had various deals and the higher the level the more you received deals with billions and billions of money.

My stomach churns, but I sip the water and take steady, even breaths to calm myself. Mark’s mother lightly nudges my arm and points across the ballroom. “That group over there is a part of the ‘old money’ group. Their families have been wealthy for multiple generations. Some think the ‘new money’ doesn’t deserve to be at these events, regardless of how much money they have.” She leans in and whispers, “I can’t stand the ‘old money’ group.” My eyebrows knot together, and I take another sip of water. “Aren’t you considered old money by the standards you have given me? Why would you hate the people in that group, then?”
