David and Victoria’s press statement

Honestly, I’d rather go party with the new money crew. The other lot sound extremely boring. And if blocking people entry based on skin colour, religion and how many years their ancestors can be traced back to the Mayflower is your idea of exclusive then you’re welcome to it!

NP has spoken about her family being non Hollywood and preferring to stay out of the public eye (which makes sense for people worth that much) I read something that said she and her siblings were very sporty and played hockey every weekend for years.

I can imagine there’s a lot of clash of culture going on with the Beckhams & the Peltz’s. And I’m sure the Beckhams are more than a little miffed that the Peltz’s are so very much wealthier than them. As a pp said - BB marrying into that family kind of takes away that element of power they have over him.

From what I've read, Nelson Peltz worked his way up in a relatively small family business and turned it into a huge business. So relatively new money themselves. However I'm not sure how big the original business was in his father's time, so maybe there was always money there.

I know the WASP aspect and the Jewish aspect may form part of how you fit into the upper echelons of society in the US (please don't take that to be anyway defamatory, it's not meant to be). I think a PP mentioned as much but I certainly don't have a clue.

Would the Peltz feel & have always felt secure in their society? The WASP view? Are the Peltz cultured & sophisticated?

How would the Peltz see the Beckhams socially? And a likely disrespect for inferior wealth?

I think it is a little more than new money v old money

Mar a Lago is very exclusive and you need to be extremely wealthy to go there

The point about Mar a Lago is that it is not exclusive at all - no matter who or what you are if you have the money, you can join.

the only 6 star private club in the world.

Sales pitch and very silly.

So not exactly “dodgy”.

Money is the only criteria, but you are right, it is not exactly dodgy. It is completely dodgy.

But - if your criteria for "exclusive" is money - so be it.

Re. the Mar a Lago stuff - that is basically just a case of new money v old money. Mar a Lago is very exclusive and you need to be extremely wealthy to go there. I’m sure Donald Trump and the Peltz’s wouldn’t want to hang out in the stuffy old WASP enclaves with the dried up old farts anyway. It’s £1 million to become a member and the only 6 star private club in the world. So not exactly “dodgy”.

Lol at this poster trying to convince us they are on here from a purely psychological perspective and clearly superior to those of us who just want to gossip.

Pull the other one honey!

I already said, I’m interested in the reactions to it.

I don't know that they are planting them but it's odd that they do always seem to have a pro Beckham, neutral Brooklyn, anti Nicola slant to them.

I think if I were in their shoes and untrue stories were being printed alluding to things I'd said then I'd probably put a story of my Instagram page saying something like "the stories the DM are printing are false and not coming from any sources connected to our family. Please stop and respect our privacy".

But that's just me, obviously they can do whatever they want.

I thought it had come about she had guided him when he wrote it? Are you having a go at all the other OPs of the Beckham threads?

I agree, for somebody who isn't interested.

That makes no sense but okay. My comment was light-hearted. You took it so seriously. People have commented against the discussion and you have literally replied.

Jesus, I see the Beckhams have planted several more stories in the Mail today. One about how they are prepared to ‘take him back’, and another about what a hideous monster Nicola is. And she’s fame hungry. Unlike the Beckhams.

They simply can’t let it be, they can’t stop proving Brooklyns point.

A Bower response posted on another Beckham thread. A good summary.

Nicola was the the only woman the Beckhams couldn’t buy it seems & her family offer BB freedom to find his own way.

VB sounds like a Mum trying her best using photography contacts to try to get BB work at BMW etc. Brand Beckham got so big. Power addictive. Everything so public. The Peltz fam being much more selective over what’s shared. The Beckhams could stop but they want to be as respected and rich as the billionaires.

Is that all you have? Newsflash: that wasn’t the gotcha you hoped for. Kevin Spacey hasn’t been found guilty of any of the sexual misconduct crimes he was accused of and at least one of he lawsuits was thrown out.

@Williteverstopraininghey had an interesting insight & does seem to know so it would be good for her to clarify further.

Sometimes the worst snobs are those who feel slighted by those higher up the ladder themselves. As someone said s clash of cultures. If, as I suspect, this dance was an expected wedding gift/surprise for BB from VB it landed very badly. The ‘most beautiful in room’ remark added fuel to flame.

Elton John sided with Kevin Spacey, which kind of told me a lot about him already.

My feeling is the conservative elite might look down on the Peltz family but I don’t know Palm
Beach society. A PP looked to have an inside track on it or a good understanding.

Could it be the Peltz family look down themselves on the gauche Beckhams as they see it with their faux pas etc? A clash of cultures, as someone said.

Exactly, you don’t know. I agree.

It’s a figure of speech.

You literally listed out what you have going on in your life 😬

I don't understand American social circles, so I wouldn't have a clue where they fit in.

I would say how the Beckham's make their money etc might be looked down upon, who knows.
