S/O - Where do the new money families live in DC?

Funny. My friend lives in a close in suburb and the neighbors that own the big, new beautiful houses are FAR nicer and more sane than the ones who live in the 1950-ish ramblers. The latter are quite bitter and nasty, and it shows. They would be better off just admitting the inner suburbs are changing faster than they can keep up and move out, already.

Big, new beautiful houses

Everywhere. People with new money are still people, who have different tastes and having money allows them to live wherever they want. I am new money and live in a victorian in Dupont worth north of 2 mil. You would not pay me to live in the burbs.

Probably owns a few houses. But Casa de Amor is the gaudiest house I have seen in the D/M/V

it also inspires a few competitors. This guy is $18 million (yes $18) and right across the street:



helping defend potomac as new money central

Good heavens! For $18 million you think they could have sprung for mature trees, at least...

ah fair enough. i'm not going to knock his hustle. however, with that kind of cash, and being an owner/exec he could've just bought an original villa like that down in miami.

How do you know he doesn't have one. Really rich people have multiple homes in diff areas and pied-a-terre apartments in cities like NYC, Paris, London.

Do poor people ever feel better if they try to say there is something wrong with either new homes or the people that live there? I doubt it. And frankly, the wealthy people are NOT thinking about you!

Hmm, new money. Well let's see. Most successful people these days are self-made, smart and industrious (rather than the lucky recipients of trust funds earned by earlier self-made people).
One such person has been living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. for the last few years. I, for one, am quite happy to have this "new money" person in my town.
Really, stop using the hideous term "new money." It just makes you sound ignorant. Recognize and appreciate the successful, smart, self-made people who are all around you in this area. Don't worry about how they spend the money they earned, it's none of your business and they don't care what you think.

Awwwww, I was expecting something gaudier. Hard to imagine, I know. But I lived in South Texas for awhile.

Thank you. Really, the only amusing thing about this thread is the pathetic losers who are posting pictures of homes THEY CANNOT AFFORD and trashing them. I, too, couldn't afford an $18 million home, but I sure wish I could. And you know what, if I could, I wouldn't give two shits what you harpies living in your 1950s ramblers worth $300,000 thought of it. Your jealously is palpable. And pathetic.

If you are old money do you spend less because you are worried and too stupid to generate the wealth that was handed to you?

I like casa de amour! But, then again, I'm Latin! But, I would never have built it right on river road. If you got the dough build it away from a main road.

I have also met new money in Georgetown: faux hipster husbands, bottle blond trophy wives, and kids with aspirational old money surnames as first names. (real old money families name their kids Elizabeth and Alexander).

Sounds like someone needs to break off the stick in your ass and stab it in your face.

Casa de Amor is gaudy. Their kids joke with them all of the time about it. But that's how the owners are naturally. They like those things. They are very cool, smart, fun and humble people. I know because I'm one of the best friend's of the owner's daughter. Don't judge until you know the people go actually live in these houses. By the way, the owners of Casa de Amor own commercial real estate properties. Not just gasoline stations. They are ridiculously generous too. My parents who are super conservative love them. Get to know people before you judge them on what they spend their money on in their house.

Oh one last comment. New money if you mean having millions for over 30 years. So I guess it's 'new' money. He made his own money. He didn't rely on family money to get him anywhere.
