If you were going to work for a family office

Hello,

If you were going to work for a Family Office and could choose, which would you prefer:

  1. Working for a self made famiy such as the Dells, the Gates, the Trumps, etc?

Or

  1. Working for an establsished old money family such as the Rockefellers or Rothschilds?

Thanks

New money if only for the fact that with old money all you're expected to do is the status quo with the same people/providers from the past.

 

Rothschilds.

IlliniProgrammerTrump isn't new money. He's not even money. Trump is a millionaire actor who plays a billionaire.

Deutsche Bank valued his net worth at $788MM, and other wikipedia claims he's worth somewhere in between $3-7B. I'd say that's new money.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
 

Old money. They have been investing for generations, and will have a more robust operation. New money generally outsource to pwm/private bankers.
