I’m curious as to whether one of the realtors (Josh Altman) regularly featured on the reality show is a descendant/relative of Benjamin Altman of the department store Altman and Co ([B. Altman and Company - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._Altman_and_Company)). It would explain the old money connection certainly. Does anyone know anything of this?
