[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trey is old money wealthy.  His family is wealthy, probably from multiple generations of wealth.  He went to top schools and got a nice paying job as a doctor.

Big is new money wealthy.  He didn't come from wealth (or only modestly wealthy), but went to school and got a very high paying job in NYC.

It's pretty apparent that they were differentiating between old and new money with these two characters.[/quote]
Where did the show reveal that Big was new money? The episode where he went to the Episcopalian church with his mother made him seem very old money. He always seemed to be connected,  too...and the 24/7 driver. Also,  his name was John James Preston. I think both he and Trey were old money,  and that is why Big wound up with Natasha. He just wasn't as stuffy as Trey. We don't learn as much about his background bc he was supposed to remain a mystery. [/quote]

No. No. Trey was old money from generational wealth. [b]Big was self-made in finance with UMC wealthy parents[/b] (but not family office sort of money).  Many wall st. bankers had black cars the firm would expense out for late nights at the office so that’s a moot point [/quote]
This is never stated explicitly in the show but people who consider them experts throw around terms like "old money" and "new money" when in reality it doesn't matter. "Omg he wore flashy suits so he must be new money!" coming from someone with no money.[/quote]
