They were new money, without a doubt: so new it shrieked. Their clothes looked as it they'd covered themselves in glue, then rolled around in hundred-dollar bills.

About This Quote

Being new money, without a doubt, indicates one of two things. If the person says, “We are new money,” then that person does not have much money. If the statement “We are new money” is used with the words “without a doubt,” then that person may actually have a lot of money.
