Why the new rich pretend to be old nobles

Old Money is about things that New Money can’t buy: a sense of belonging to a long tradition

A Hong Kong developer is building one of the world’s largest polo communities. It will have two international-standard polo fields, stables for 150 horses, a 167-room hotel, 10 restaurants, a three-storey wine cellar with a capacity of 10,000 bottles, a ballroom for 1,000 guests and conference rooms, spas, gymnasiums and a Roman-style indoor swimming pool.

And the best part….it is located in a industrial zone in the Chinese city of Tianjin (about an hour's drive from Beijing). Polo isn't a big sport in China, in fact it is "barely known," according to an article in the South China Morning Post.
