[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no real social prestige these days. In the past there were clearly identified social elites as society treated and venerated them as the elites. But we don't do it any more. Because no one cares. [/quote] You've clearly never been to Boston. The Boston Brahmins are a thing and even if you have serious money and are not one of them they want nothing to do with you. See the story about a member of the Winthrop family declining to approve the condo ownership application of John Walsh, a multi-millionaire spa owner worth around $100 million, to purchase a condo in their exclusive Beacon Hill building. The reasoning was that Walsh would not "coalesce" with the community there. Effectively they were Boston Brahmins and he was not good enough to live in the building despite his wealth because of his Irish roots and lack of pedigree. [/quote]
