Georgetown, old McLean, Chevy Chase and Kalorama would top my list. Historically DC hasn't been about money - instead DC has been about power. That isn't to say that the DMV hasn't had old money but just that there just hasn't been A LOT of it like in NYC and its surrounds. The dynamic for DC began to shift with the tech boom. We'll never catch up with NYC but it definitely has changed here.
DC wasn't a place that made many fortunes until recently, it was a place where folks with fortunes often moved to to do interesting work. But yes, until the tech boom a lot of the local money was much smaller scale than in NYC, SF, LA, Chicago, Boston, Palm Beach, etc.
