Both are what I was thinking.
Some of the Great Lake states have a lot of old money from the steel baron days, but they have been trashed by…

To be honest though there is a lot of “old money” in Mississippi
I usually think of New Hampshire or Virginia as old money hotspots
What is the cutoff to be considered “old money” is it generational wealth produced by a grandparent or further back than that ?

Yes. A lot has died off now, but I remember when I was a kid and moved to Columbus, MS, that town had more millionaires per capita than any town in the United States. Yes, seriously.

I grew up in Columbus and remember hearing this. I believe it. Columbus was a small town but had a healthy top 1% for a long time. Not so much anymore

As bad as the state is politically and socially, it is New York.

Rhode Island just because I've driven around the old estates in Newport before.
