agree  Rania K: Totally right. Old money refers to the inherited wealth of established upper-class families (a person, family, or lineage possessing inherited wealth). More often than not; that wealth came from the oil/petroleum industry.

old-money
عريقة


Explanation:
In idioms it stands for an inheritance, money that has been in the family for decades. For example, she bought that property with old money - money that her great-grandfather saved.

So maybe عتيقة/عريقة/قديمة/متهالكة/متوارثة can present the meaning. Although I know they sound different, but you can choose what's best for your context.

The meaning of inheritance I guess supports عريقة more than any other word, as the other terms refers to \"old\" rather than \"old money\".

old-money
عريقة - ثرية


Explanation:
Old money is usually used in contrast to "new-money" (families/war lords who accumulate quick fortune, but no social status)
عريقة on its own is appropriate and enough in most cases, as it also conveys wealth. Depending on the rest of your text, you may also want to highlight affluence.
