We also discover that this is only the Old Ones as the Youngbloods don't have enough money to live so decadently, averting VampiresAreRich.

The books are notable for being a WorldOfSnark set in a BrokenMasquerade world where vampires have revealed themselves after the 2008 housing crisis. They live in the revitalized city of New Detroit, which they have turned into a massive tourist trap. Not all vampires are wealthy, though, and most of them are actually quite poor as only the leadership has access to the vast fortune they've made exploiting vampire tourism. The series deals with class issues, race, and also LighterAndSofter depictions of vampires (which is revealed to be an in-universe ploy by vampires to exploit the public).
