The White family's wealth has been passed down through generations, indicating a long-standing tradition of wealth and privilege. This is characteristic of the upper-upper class, also known as the "old money" class. The term "nouveau riche" refers to those who have recently come into wealth, so it does not accurately describe the White family's status. The terms "proletariat," "underclass," and "lower-upper class" are all associated with lower levels of wealth and social status.
