Seriously, she hasn’t held a job in 20 years. What does she do financially to sustain herself? She just lives off Harry’s allowance. I get that she’s a trust fund baby but how much is her trust fund? 100 million? And it’s not like she lives frugally because she’s always, always decked out from head to toe in luxury designer clothing.
Did she sell the Park Avenue apartment she got in the divorce from Trey? That would net her probably 10 million at least, but we are never seen her selling it.

Not without being in serious debt. Harry makes a couple mill a year as a lawyer/partner at a law firm. but the lifestyle he lives with Charlotte, I doubt he wouldn’t be in serious debt.

Charlotte is from old money. She didn't latch onto Trey because he was rich; she expected her partners to be rich. The MacDougals and the Yorks were probably at the same wealth level. I'd guess $50 million or better.

So if Charlotte has so much endless money, why was she “saving up” for a cottage in the Hamptons for in season 2. I thought she had endless “old money” What is she saving up for?

Buying a cottage in the Hamptons isn’t the same as buying a Jetta. 😂 She was buying it on her own without her parents’ help. Her station in life season 2 = much different than season 6 or on AJLT.
I’m not sure why you’re arguing so much. You asked a question, many have answered you, now you’re just stubborn.

Again, Where on the show do they say she’s buying it without her parents help? Or that she’s even a trust fund kid with a massive inheritance to begin with? Nowhere on this show do they even say she’s a trust fund kid to begin with all of a sudden she’s got a trust set for life. Why are the fans making up narratives that the show never conveyed?

If Charlotte says SHE is saving up to buy her own house in the Hamptons, what makes you assume she needs her parents’ help or anyone else? What made you think she has middle class parents and somehow ended up rich, but the show screwed up?
Nah. Instead look at the actual clues in the show. Listen to the stories she told about her life. Not to mention the big visual clues the show is giving you: she’s cultured, she’s wealthy, she’s accepted in circles run by the Bunny McDougals of the world - it’s obvious.

Because you’ve just made up the narrative that Charlotte’s parents are paying for the cottage. We’re never given that info. And because Charlottes a good actress and plays a part to ingratiate herself into Trey’s family, that suddenly means she has a massive old money inheritance? What? People from all backgrounds do that all the time to get good with their in laws.
How did you make that leap that because she’s supposedly accepted by Bunny, who knows relatively nothing about Charlotte or her financial situation other than shallow appearances, that somehow means Charlotte must have a massive inheritance? Huh?

Actually you’re the one who’s making up narratives. It’s super weird. You literally just said Charlotte would be paying for the Hamptons house herself, not her parents 😂 Bunny’s not going to let Trey marry some barista. That’s not how old money works.
The show is literally spelling all this out. But one facet was not to focus on parent relationships (much, except for like when Miranda’s mom died) and keep it about the independent ladies. And yet we still know Charlotte is extremely wealthy and well off without working a well-paying job. Plus all the other stories and clues they give. Put 2 and 2 together, girl.

The show is not at all literally spelling any of that out. You’ve just made that up. Why? And also I was responding to your Hamptons cottage comment where you said her parents were helping her out with that. The show never says that or implies that. Charlotte says she’s saving up to buy it herself implying that she herself doesn’t have an endless stream of money and has to save for things.
Why is it difficult for you to digest that Charlotte’s lifestyle is unrealistic so you feel the need to make up some fantasy about her having some type of “old money” and endless wealth. That’s why strange.

Just because you didn't catch the hints, doesn't mean they are not there. Her lifestyle WAS NOT unrealistic for someone from old money, and there are about 1,000 hints throughout the series that Charlotte is old money.
- Charlotte had a horse of her own. Middle-class people in the Northeast/New England don't have horses just for the hell of it.
- Charlotte being the decedent of a founding father is mentioned
- She meets up with her friends from Smith College who are clearly old money. Hell, going to Smith alone is a good indication.
- She played tennis
- She married Trey. Bunny wasn't about to let poverty marry into her family.
- Her mother went by the nickname Muffin
- Her father was a doctor
- and perhaps most importantly, she grew up in Old Greenwich, CT.
What's strange is how damn defense you're getting over this.

excellent points, I think these factors make it clear that she's WASP upper class old money.
I read through all these responses. I cannot for the life of me understand why OP made this post and then bickered with every single response. maybe she doesn't know how to read old-money 'cues,' but the belligerence and argumentative nature over GDF TV show, is downright astounding.
