Appearing classy is much more important than being classy; British
people freely use the word toilet and "see you in Tahiti" in public but
they have charming accents so no one takes back their Nobel Prizes.
Smokescreens are important because being classy is hard, especially
with weak impulse control and a deep seeded hatred of tweed.
If you're not British, try faking an accent, wearing Chanel or not speaking in public.
New money means collecting the latest Louis Vuitton with fruit painted on it, while old money is more about leisure and anti-Semitism. New money spends a lot of time leasing Mercedes and taping episodes of Cribs, while old money has more time for golf and scotch.
If you are new money, at least refer to yourself as nouveau riche because that's French which means it's classy.
If you come from a good family name, it doesn't matter if you win or
lose because the stadium is named after your grandparents. Old money is a free pass for ganky
teeth, DUI's and starring roles in leaked sex tapes, even if you get into the fetish stuff or co-star with your brother.
If you weren't born a Rockefeller, try marrying in or amassing serious
wealth, because new money is just as good, especially on the west
coast.
