Just because they live in Greenwich OT Scarsdale doen’t Mean they are old money. Most are new.

I grew up in Connecticut so I have fairly extensive knowledge of the dynamics of Fairfield County and its environs. Greenwich is definitely old money.


Yep. 1/2 my family is Greenwich, the other half New Haven.

Greenwich is old $.

Whatever. The old money people I know including those who live in Greenwich and Scarsdale don’t care about cars. Most have a home in Manhattan too which is why they don’t care about cars.

We have a friend whose family is also old money. You would recognize their name. Guy drives a 21 yr old Bentley. Carries around his surf boards on top.


Another friend whose family founded a major department store chain drives a 20+ yr old car. Forget what model and make. She spends a whole lot of money on designer purses but not on her car.

I hope these boards adopt user ID's. It will make it easier to ignore the repeat what looks like rich people and British royal posters.
