Families that have been affluent for several decades (in America) or several centuries (in Europe).
Old money families in the U.S. are often WASPs. They have a very distinctive style that includes brands such as Lilly Pulitzer and Eliza B. Their children go to generally East Coast prep schools such as St. Pauls, Exeter, Choate, Andover and so forth. They summer in places like Bar Harbor, Nantucket, South Hampton, the Vineyard, etc.
In Europe, old money is synonymous with aristocracy. Dukes, counts, marquis etc. and their relatives. In France, Spain, and Italy they are typically Catholic and own hunting estates, and summer and ski in the same places. Their children go to Catholic schools, which can be in some cases single-sex.
P.S: Another person mentioned Paris Hilton as old money. This is not so as Paris' grandfather was the one to become rich, which means they are still very much new money. In fact, her attitude and attire probably epitomize new money.

As I walked down the street in the 16 arrondissement of Paris, I saw this group of sixteen year olds who were dressed in a very elegant and subdued way and looked like they had just gone hunting. They were decidedly old money.
The traditional American preppy style is much flashier than the old money European style, as all Americans are new money compared to European nobility.

Get the beer moneymug. The funnnest and easiest way to get fucked up...
A form of the infamous game beer pong, in which players have all of the cups the same as beer pong except the front cup is filled to the brim with your brew of choice, with no foam at all allowed, and if the cup is made the opposing team has to drink (or chug if they call themselves men) and re-fill it (this cup is called the Money Cup). The money cup is the last cup to be made to claim victory, and there is an unlimited amount of times the money cup can be made and each time it is it must be refilled until it is overflowing.
The main goal of the game is to make as many money cups as possible, while also claiming victory.

Get the money cupmug. Fast Money
Money generated through an illegal or unethical enterprise, such as drug dealing or hustling. Typically a reference to how people with legitimate jobs have to wait until payday, whilst hustlers get paid every time they make a move. Also refers to how naturally street smart people with no formal job training are sometimes capable of quickly hustling funds that would otherwise had been earned slowly in a low level job.
