I wonder what she thinks the definition of "old money" is - having wealthy parents and then marrying a rich guy?

Anyone know how many generations wealth has to have been in the family in order for a person to be "old money"?

In the US, it is many, many generations. Sonja's ex is old money; Sonja not so much. Jules is also not a WASP, which makes her not a candidate for old money status.

Wanted to add, Jules' husband isn't old money either. She is a bimbo who doesn't understand the term. no reason to get all uppity with Bethanny.

I just read in a magazine today while getting my hair cut that he made money in some porn investment company and that he has liens against him for not paying taxes. I'm too lazy to find a link though. I thought it was funny in one episode that she didn't know how to make coffee. The maid must do it.

But that is also the reason why we love her. She truly gives zero f'ks, a line I'm increasingly more convinced Bethenny stole from Sonja. And she lives her life like she's inside a music video. The party never ends in Sonja-Town, even when the gogo dancers have to switch out their ecstasy for Lipitor and Ramona is on her 17th face lift, Sonja will still be there, dancing on a box having her vag shielded by Luann as she stumbles ontop of the latest fetus to walk in the door. This is why Sonja will always be the greatest housewife in Housewife history.

JonBenet is a cultural reference to a certain type of childhood experience. It is also very unfortunate that she was murdered. Both things can be true at the same time.

It's not like Bethenny cackled with glee that she is dead. She is making a reference that, by the way, we all immediately understand. Which is why she said it.

I can't even imagine why some of you watch any of the Real Housewives shows if THIS is what gets you worked up. On the offensive scale, this is a mere blip in the Real Housewives world. You all should just change the channel.

Oh, OK. Her murder was OK then, because she wasn't 2. Thanks for clarifying.

Completely agree, pp. Please, there is a difference between a punchline and a point of reference. Yet another example of how people now are so sensitive about anything that is said.

Again, "Toddlers in Tiaras" is enough of a reference. "Honey Boo-Boo" would actually be a more current, relevant reference. Bethenny was just showing off how "out-there" and "real" and "irreverent" she is, and I'm more than over her.
