And out of that flash of potential comes the tale of its dwellers and their roles.

At its center is Aslı Enver playing Nihal Baydemir, a decaying shipbuilding dynasty heiress whose purpose is to try to save her family's honor in the face of encroaching debt. She faces Engin Akyürek as Osman Bulut, a self-made billionaire whose ambition and quick mind lead him into conflict with the entrenched elite. Alongside them, Dolunay Soysert plays the tough yet loving matriarch of the Bulut empire, and İsmail Demirci, who portrays Mahir Bulut, the oldest and most problematic brother in the Bulut household, with his own devils.

Taro Emir Tekin plays the youngest Bulut brother, Arda Bulut, who is tender but short-tempered. Serkan Altunorak, Selin Şekerci, Sedef Avcı, Zeynep Oymak, Armağan Oğuz, and Ahmet Utlu round out the cast, each adding to the fabric of alliances, betrayals, and desires. The ensemble combines veterans and up-and-coming stars of Turkish television. Some are the personification of the old money with aristocratic presence, while others infuse gritty swagger into upstarts, evolving that very framework as the heiress to a family's lost power, and a nouveau riche tycoon determined to accumulate more, unite in an electric on-screen presence.

With a mix of seasoned leads and up-and-coming talent, Old Money arrived on Netflix's 2025 line-up on October 10, as past glory and faith dance to the rhythm of the future, where love dares to be the most expensive currency of all.
