[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've done some Googling and it appears that none of these people are old money.  They all appear to be new money and just ignorant on how to play the game.

Pretty hilarious that their greed of including their 'donations' on their tax returns is what did them in.

I married into an old money family and trust me, with the exception of 3, most of my nieces and nephews do NOT deserve their spots in the ivies they've been admitted to.  They get in for being legacies and because of donations.

Huffman actually comes from an older money family with Yale connections.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felicity_Huffman

Huffman's father went to Yale and was a partner at Morgan Stanley. Her sister was a debutante who went to Rosemary Hall and belonged to the colony club. Her great-grandfather was Gershom Moore Peters (1843–1919), founder of the Peters Cartridge Company and prominent Baptist minister, author of The Master.[10] Another great-grandfather, Frederick Berthold Ewing, graduated from Yale University and became a prominent St. Louis businessman. Her great-great-grandfather was Joseph Warren King (1814–1885), founder of the King Mills Powder Company.

She is actually Old Money. Which makes her actions even more bizaare. [/quote]
