[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Catholic WASP. There are a few of us. My
Family actually was in the employ of the King of England. Henry to 8th. We are OG Wasps. I was born Catholic since my Dad married a Catholic. But I get street cred.

Cant fake it. [/quote]

Sounds like you’re a poor. [/quote]

1. Being a servant of Henry VIII does not make you old money. Almost everyone has ancestors who were servants of kings. Descending from nobility is more impressive.

2. By definition you cannot be a Catholic WASP.[/quote]

There is some club where you have to be an original wasp to joint. My cousin who is a wasp said I can join. He traced our roots back to the day we were converted as folks in Kings employment got converted on day 1.

I am not rich. I did work on private banking and most folks here are not rich. I recall in 1997 pulling an account if a rich widow worth one billion. Today one Billion is not much but in 1997 was a lot. Her house was only worth at time around 400k. Rich is 1980s rich when the KKR guy became basically first person ever to make one billion in a single year. Can you imagine making 100 million a month in 1986!!! [/quote]

Oh come on, that's a poor trolling attempt. There were 614 billionaires in the US in 2020. Yes, $1b is a lot today. According to Forbes there were 11 billionaires in 1997, although another source reports 60 in 1997. I'm guessing not many of them lived in the DMV. So your "rich widow" was certainly a rarity.[/quote]

The Rich Widow lived in Manhasset NY, even better only two daughters and I recall TOD in stripes on account meaning it gets split 50/50 with two daughters. Some lucky men married those two. [/quote]
