A 22-year-old woman who works at an exclusive South Carolina country club reveals the BIG differences between people with “old money” and those with “new money,” from the types of clothes they wear to their TIP habits.

A young woman has explained how she distinguishes between old and new money at her local country club.

Darby Parham, 22, from Charleston, South Carolina, encounters a spectrum of ultra-wealthy people in the course of her work.

“One of the many things working at a country club has taught me is how to tell old money from new money from a mile away,” he began.

People with new money, he insisted, always seemed to be trying a little.

‘New money is in bad taste. It’s striking. They are flaunting every brand you have ever heard of. Maybe they have a couple of Louis Vuitton bags. Maybe they have an Hermès bag,” he explained.

‘Does that mean they have style? Absolutely not.

‘Will they tip you? Yes, in front of their friends or in front of business partners, in front of people who can see exactly how much they are tipping you. It may be good advice, but it is not consistent.

And again, terrible, terrible style. Normally, not always women; Always the men.’

As for the old money, Darby insisted, their style was almost unimaginably elegant.

‘Old money, however, with class. Style,” she said.

But you might not even know what they’re wearing. Because you’ve never seen anything as pretty as what they’re wearing. You won’t understand what it is. You’ve never heard of the brand.

‘Even if you ask them where it’s from, you’ll look it up and say, “Oh, by invitation only.” You can’t even touch these clothes unless you’re a billionaire.

‘That’s an exaggeration. But you know what I mean.

She continued: “It will be custom made, it will fit your body well, it will be the prettiest, softest thing you have ever touched.” If you go to touch their arm to say hello, if you go to hug them, you think, “Wow, that was funny. I should have paid to touch that.”

Of the tipping habits of “old money,” he explained, “They will tip you constantly, regardless of who is around, and they will be very nice.”

But they’re also going to be clever about it. They’re going to fold a 50 bill. You can’t even tell it’s a 50 bill until you walk away and open it. And you say, “They just gave me a 50 or a 100.

“And if you’ve worked in a place like that, you know exactly what I’m talking about.”

Thousands of people reacted to the comment, with many enthusiastically agreeing with Darby’s assessment.

‘My boss goes shopping specifically for each season and buys brands he’s never heard of. “Now I know the ‘quiet luxury’ brands,” one suggested.

‘I would like to be old money or new money. Any money,” a second wrote wistfully.

“I’m what you’d call a ‘poor old man,'” another admitted.

Others quickly agreed with Darby’s overall assessment.

‘Money screams. “Wealth whispers,” wrote one.

“Old money has nothing to prove, new money wants everyone to know,” a second agreed.

And, as a third echoed: “Old money is discreet.”
