I can't speak to Edwards or Kerry but it seems that the Bush
family's money has very deeep roots that mean at least amount
as the bank bank balance; See

Kerry is very old money, as he is a Bonesman like Bush.

Kerry may be a member of Skull and Bones, as is Bush, but he's miles from old
money. His grandfather was a Czech Jew named Fritz Kohn, who changed his name
to Frederick Kerry in 1902 while a Czech citizen, and emigrated to the US three
years later as Frederick Kerry. He committed suicide in 1921 apparently for
financial reasons, which suggests that there was no family money back then.
Kerry's father was in the Foreign Service, which is not known for providing its
employees with excessive salaries. So, old money? It hardly seems likely. If,
as he himself says, he always considered himself comfortably well off while he
was growing up, that probably would have been a testimonial to the frugality
with which his parents managed their accumulated resources rather than inherited
wealth, as most old money is usually acquired.

Old money can also be acquired through marriage.

I believe that has been the Kerry "technique" in gaining it.

I disagree. Old money is money that's been in your family for ages. What
people get when they marry into it is the title "nouveau riche".

Kerry's mother was old New England family and money.

I've already acknowledged my error elsewhere. Her maiden name was Forbes.
