The "New Money" Families Who Were Rejected By Society (Documentary)

This focuses on the "Social Climbers" who failed. It profiles the wealthy industrialists who built massive palaces in New York but were humiliated and shunned by "The 400." The story covers the desperate measures they took to get in and the deep depression and financial ruin that followed their public social rejection.

When you think of it, today's population subscribes to the same way of thinking. They're using social media to create their brand.

The way these people cared about what other people thought about them is a wonder to me.

The new money people are no different than the old money people, and on and on it will go.

I will never understand why so many people are obsessed with getting into high society and build castle like homes to get there only to make themselves turn inside out and broke

Old money is more disciplined than new money.

What makes us crave a life lived for audience whether this family's story or our choice of which cars we buy to be seen on the roads by most people who cant buy the cars we buy.

This is so sad 😢 this has me in tears. Not much has changed flaunting wealth but still not seen , having everything and nothing.

Maybe the new money families should have combined their efforts to make a difference regarding social circles acceptance.

Old money had been new money at one time. This kind of prejudice is so irrational!

First of all I would like to congratulate you regarding of this AWESOME video. Also for your thought and the way that you explain the sense of belonging that most of us look for. The old money and heritage fanilies continue with the same rules and mindset.
