“[Working with new money is] much more interesting than old. People with old money are nearly always having to be adjusted downwards.”
- Prince Rupert zu Loewenstein, banker, Bavarian aristocrat, and financier for the Rolling Stones, quoted in his Telegraph obituary today.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: On “Old Money”

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Heh. Yep, the fire for making it goes out with the first generation.
ReplyDeleteAlways interesting to read of the suits behind big acts like the Stones. You find these rocknroll lifestyles were maintained by a suit with brains & solid methods of organisation. ie, proper cashflows & statements of accounts. Jagger's an astute businessman, & worked out he needed hire the right help.
