Old Money in Florida

[Anonymous]

Can Florida be old money? I know Palm Beach. But what about other cities? There’s plenty of wealth.

Naples has tons of it.

Think Jacksonville also has old money.

The oldest old money families in America may have places in Florida but they’re not from Florida. Old money doesn’t buy cigarette boats and glass block mansions on the inter coastal but Waffle House multi franchisees and plastic surgeons do.
Florida is a new money place and the pockets there don’t run nearly as deep as they do in New England.

Jupiter Island and of course, del Boca Vista.

The joke in Naples is that when you retire there in your 60's you think you are old and wealthy and then when you get there you realize you are neither! There is very serious money in Naples but people don't wear it on their sleeve as they do in Palm Beach.

Then general rule of thumb is that Easter coasters retire to the east coast of FL and midwesterners retire to the west coast of FL. In our many vacations to FL we find the friendliness and low key nature of the west coast of FL to be more enjoyable.
