| 11 | Snide, contemptuous, and ever-so-superior to coworkers or neighbors, the Rich Bitch is the character you love to hate. She has social position and/or money and never lets ''anyone'' around her forget it, and if she can make you feel like dirt, she'll do it just to [[ItAmusedMe amuse herself]]. She can be especially vicious to suitors pursuing her who are not up to her sometimes impossible standards. Too much money has made her a bitch. If there is a CountryMouse in the cast, she usually reserves the worst of her abuse for them, especially if the CountryMouse is another female. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | The Rich Bitch is what the AlphaBitch and the SpoiledBrat often become when they grow up, and their motto is "ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney." |
| 14 | |
| 15 | If the Rich Bitch has an AttackAnimal, or the story focuses on animals (be they {{Talking Animal}}s or {{Funny Animal}}s), then 9 times out of 10, this character will be a PsychoPoodle as a RightHandAttackDog. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | A SubTrope of IdleRich and TheUpperCrass. See UpperClassTwit for the usual SpearCounterpart. Despite this, male examples, Rich Bastards, do exist. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Compare GoldDigger, GrandeDame, and BitchInSheepsClothing. Contrast SpoiledSweet, UnclePennybags, MockMillionaire, and TheOjou. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | [[TruthInTelevision Rich bitches do exist in real life]], but it's best that [[Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease we don't list any real life examples here]]. |

| 25 | !!Examples: |

| 29 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 30 | |
| 31 | [[folder:Audio Plays]] |
| 32 | * Sakuya from ''AudioPlay/YandereNoOnnaNoKo'' is a rich girl who acts superior and snobby to her fellow classmates. The protagonist is an exception (for the most part) since she harbors feelings for him. |
| 33 | * Sakae from ''AudioPlay/YandereHeaven'' is of the rich bastard variety. He boasts about his wealth and what he can do with it. However, he also shows signs of having a heart of gold during his interactions with the protagonist like offering her sleeping pills to help her get some rest and possibly being a {{Tsundere}} who doesn't know how to be nice. |
| 34 | * Floris Jan van Fleppensteyn from ''AudioPlay/OmeHenk'' is the snooty elitist neighbor of the title character. He constantly complains about Henk's lower-class lifestyle and flaunts his wealth whenever he can. However, since Henk is an antisocial and violent slob, Fleppensteyn's behavior towards him is kind of justified. |
| 35 | [[/folder]] |
| 36 | |
| 37 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 38 | * Veronica from ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'', although she's often been portrayed as really having a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heart of gold]] deep down, with enough PetTheDog moments that a nastier rich bitch character has been introduced by the name of Cheryl Blossom. It's {{discussed|trope}} in "Bringing Up Daughter", a story from the '80s, when Mr. Lodge regrets having spoiled her into one as a child and thus enrolled her in a regular high school so she'd make friends with normal middle-class people and, hopefully, lighten up a bit. While he regrets that [[GoneHorriblyRight the friends she made are obnoxious and drive him up the wall]], having her tell him she can't go with them to visit a rich family because she's volunteered to help her friends with a food drive to help feed the needy makes him thankful that she's indeed [[SpoiledSweet become a far better person thanks to them]]. |
| 39 | * Lola Palooza from ''ComicBook/CherryComics''. |
| 40 | * [[Characters/MarvelComicsTheEnchantress Amora the Enchantress]] from ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'' often acts in a manner reminiscent of this, albeit filtered in the style of a medieval fantasy figure, though she plays it straighter whenever she visits Earth. Unlike most examples, Amora's haughty attitude comes from the fact she had to claw her way up to this position, having been born a commoner among the Asgardians before seeking out magical training, sometimes outright using her body to trade for tutoring in the magic arts, and her wealth is largely generated through her status as a ridiculously beautiful sorceress. With what she went through to get to where she is, she's developed a ruthless mean streak that, at the very least, makes her come off as spoiled and rude. |
| 41 | * Morty Vivente from ''ComicBook/MiniMonsters'' is a zombie male example, and mixes this with Jerkass and AlphaBastard tendencies. |
| 42 | * Mayda Munny of the ''ComicBook/RichieRich'' comic books plays this trope up with her entire household and anyone she happens to cross paths with. |
| 43 | * ''ComicBook/SinCity'': Ava Lord turns out to be [[spoiler:manipulative and pure evil as well. She ends up tricking Dwight into killing her husband so she can not only get his estate but his criminal organization as well]]. |
| 44 | * ''ComicBook/SonicX'': When Milan Ramada and her entourage can't sit at their favorite table at the local ice cream parlor and must either sit elsewhere or wait until the customers at the table leave, she threatens to have her father build another ice cream parlor across the street just to drive it out of business. |
| 45 | * ComicBook/TheWasp started out as a downplayed example of this, spending most of her time being flighty and inane, though usually any bitchiness was for comic relief. This became deconstructed after the Yellowjacket fiasco when she blamed herself for her husband's breakdown because she wasn't paying attention to his obvious mental problems, so she grew up and took superheroing much more seriously. Nowadays, she's cast as a somewhat jokey woman who is nonetheless a highly skilled businesswoman and people-person. The ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'' Wasp fell into the same trap, being written as a bitchy and vapid. In the ''ComicBook/MarvelAdventures'' universe, Janet (Giant Girl in this continuity) avoids this entirely, coming off more as a SpoiledSweet if anything. This is probably why she has a ''much'' bigger fanbase than any of her other incarnates. |
| 46 | * ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'': |
| 47 | ** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': Even before she created the identity of the [[Characters/WonderWomanCheetah Cheetah]], Priscilla Rich was not a nice lady. She tried to murder Wonder Woman the first time they met by sabotaging the escape act she was putting on for charity just because she was furious that Diana's poise and grace were garnering more attention than Priscilla was getting. She was also already gathering as much classified intel as she could to try to sell it to the highest bidder. |
| 48 | ** ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfWonderWoman2016'': Priscilla Rich is a wealthy socialite who has willingly allied herself with the Nazis and thinks hesitating to kill hundreds with an explosion is ridiculous. |
| 49 | * ''ComicBook/XMen'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsEmmaFrost Emma Frost]] started out as a villain, so her bitchiness was from extreme ambition. Now her bitchiness is from being spoiled and bratty. |
| 50 | [[/folder]] |
| 51 | |
| 52 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 53 | * Druscilla, one of District 5's stylists, from Jael.Rice.1's ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/TheBombshell'' is a textbook example. She's a snide, domineering socialite who holds her position over her junior stylists and her Tributes. |
| 54 | * Katelyn, Molly, and Alison from the ''Fanfic/TotalDramaNuiKauaSeries'' are all examples of this. |
| 55 | * ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'' has Alexis Lois "Lexi" Luthor. The granddaughter of the infamous Lex Luthor, she happily shoves a reporter's microphone into his mouth for interrupting her manga reading time. She also has no qualms with threatening Izuku and his entire family and generally treats everyone aside from him and her chauffeur [[OnlyFriend Mercy]] with complete disdain or indifference. |
| 56 | * The ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' of Creator/AAPessimal puts quite a few of these into the Assassins' Guild School. The School still prides itself on exclusivity even after expanding to meet changed needs, and it cannot turn down the sons and daughters of the old ruling classes. That would be unthinkable. So fellow pupils and the teaching staff have to put up with people like Cassandra Venturi, Lucinda, Deborah Rust, Pamela Eorle, and many others. and they're only the socially upscale, entitled, and sneering ''girls''. |
| 57 | * ''{{Fanfic/Pokempanions}}'' has Serperior who lives in a wealthy part of town and looks down upon the lower classes. However, she turns out to be worse than that as she orphaned a young Mimikyu and threatened to kill him twice, once when he was five, another time when he was ten. |
| 58 | [[/folder]] |
| 59 | |
| 60 | [[folder:Films -- Animation]] |
| 61 | * [[CruellaToAnimals Cruella de Vil]] from ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians''. From her introduction she looks down on Roger for being a songwriter, acts rude and entitled to Anita in spite of [[WithFriendsLikeThese being friends with her]], and shows open disgust for Pongo and Perdita's newborn puppies solely because they have no spots, before throwing a temper tantrum when Roger refuses to sell them to her. And then, rather than deal with it like a rational adult and let it go, she hires Jasper and Horace to ''steal'' the puppies [[FurAndLoathing so she can make a coat with their fur]], an obsession that utterly ''consumes her'' throughout the movie. |
| 62 | * In ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'', there's Georgette, a very literal Rich Bitch because she's a DOG. And despite being on the side of the good guys, in all honesty, she doesn't get any better by the end of the movie either. The writers apparently intended for her to be a LovableAlphaBitch, but couldn't quite get the "lovable" part to gel. What helps is that she's more of a PokeThePoodle sort of bitch, and she ''is'' funny. |
| 63 | * Rachel, Elizabeth's WickedStepmother from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTheTitanic''. |
| 64 | * Eden Starling is ThePrimaDonna and TheScrooge of ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInAChristmasCarol'', so falls under this until her change from the spirits. |
| 65 | * Prince Chen's would-be fiancée in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfSuLing'' is portrayed as this. She's allergic to just about everything (flowers, feathers, and Chen's tiger cub) and she wants larger jewels for her marriage. |
| 66 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Tyler begins the story as a rude and snobbish character, and he has a big house and access to a lot of money courtesy of his presumably rich parents, as he treats giving Mei $200 in return for going to his party as no big deal. |
| 67 | [[/folder]] |
| 68 | |
| 69 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 70 | * ''Film/BringItOn'' is a mostly typical sports movie -- except it's from the point of view of the (usually evil) rich bitch team. Their uniforms even have "RCH" spelled out across their chests. |
| 71 | * Tess Tyler from ''Film/CampRock''. |
| 72 | * ''Film/{{Clueless}}'': Amber is a classic Rich Bitch, contrasted to rich and popular but flawed main character Cher, who's, for the most part, a kindhearted and very likable character. |
| 73 | * ''Film/EverAfter'': Rodmilla and Marguerite. Henry may also count as a male example. They all undergo a BreakTheHaughty process by the end. |
| 74 | * Melissa from ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIITheNewBlood'' is a spoiled rich girl who's manipulative, vindictive, and wants to have Nick all to herself. She eventually becomes an AssholeVictim by getting an ax to her face from Jason. |
| 75 | * Natalie Sands in ''Film/GirlsJustWantToHaveFun''. When she shows up at auditions for a dance contest, she nearly runs the protagonists over. When one of the other girls, Lynne, shows her up for that, Natalie bribes Lynne's partner to ruin the act. |
| 76 | * All three Heathers in ''Film/{{Heathers}}'', although the AlphaBitch Heather Chandler is the worst of the lot. |
| 77 | * In ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' there's Sharpay Evans. She has parents who own a Country Club. |
| 78 | * Linda's cousin Seton Cram and his wife Laura in ''{{Film/Holiday}}''. Linda goes so far as to obliquely compare them to Nazis. |
| 79 | * ''Film/MeanGirls'' has Regina George, the Alpha Bitch, who lives in a really nice mansion- she knows- and drives a flashy convertible. Gretchen Wieners, another member of the Plastics, is also very rich- her father invented toaster strudel!- but is shown to be more insecure and a follower. |
| 80 | * The Hispanic movie ''Film/LaMismaLuna'' had the main character's mother working for one of these as a cleaning lady. Said woman apparently has a DysfunctionalFamily and eventually fires her because "she thinks she ought to try something new", then, when the mother protests, dares her to call the police. She can't because she's an illegal immigrant. |
| 81 | * Team owner Rachel Phelps in ''Film/MajorLeague''. |
| 82 | * Linda Bucyk in ''Film/MenWithBrooms''. Amongst other things, she pointedly reminds her husband that his mortuary business used to belong to her father [[spoiler: and unbeknownst to him, she is having an affair with his assistant.]] |
| 83 | * The rebellious, stone-cold British socialite Cordelia Winthrop-Scott in ''Film/MonteCarlo2011''. |
| 84 | * Cornelia in ''Film/MyManGodfrey''. |
| 85 | * Joanna from ''Film/{{Overboard|1987}}'' is actually called a "rich bitch." [[DefrostingIceQueen She gets better, though.]] |
| 86 | * ''Film/TheBlindSide'': Leigh Anne's snobbish salad luncheon friends. |
| 87 | * ''Film/TheDevilWearsPrada'': Played straight by Miranda Priestly. |
| 88 | * Jordan Baker in ''Film/TheGreatGatsby2013''. |
| 89 | * In ''Film/{{The Parent Trap|1961}}'', GoldDigger Vicky intends to marry the girls' father for his money. It may be more accurate to call her an ''aspiring'' Rich Bitch, as she never actually qualifies for the rich part. |
| 90 | * Patrick Winslow's boss Odile Jouvenel in ''Film/TheSmurfs''. |
| 91 | * Peg in ''Film/{{Peppermint}}'' is from the richer side of Los Angeles, and sets up the situation that gets Riley North's family where they could be gunned down by [[TheCartel Cartel]] thugs. Later Peg gets her comeuppance, receiving the punch that daughter Carly North said she should have gotten five years ago, for being bitchy towards Riley and Carly, and it's revealed that during the interval between the shooting and Riley's return to LA Peg was left by her husband for a TrophyWife. |
| 92 | * In ''Film/TheConIsOn'', Jackie (a former working-class model and phone sex operator) has been becoming one since marrying her millionaire film director, including a condescending attitude towards the servants, and a MisterMuffykins pet. |
| 93 | * Jabez's brother [[MeaningfulName Dick]] in ''Film/ShortcutToHappiness''. A wealthy Wall Street type, he flaunts his wealth in the face of his brother, who is a struggling writer. He arranges an extremely expensive anniversary present for their parents -- knowing that Jabez will never be able to contribute to it -- insisting that he just wants everything to be 'perfect'. And when Jabez writes a token cheque to contribute to the cost, he cashes it even though he must know that doing so will leave his brother broke. |
| 94 | * ''Film/{{Lycan}}'': Blair comes from a very wealthy family and is consistently an asshole to Isabella simply because she's a Latina who works for a living. |
| 95 | * In ''Film/TheGettingOfWisdom'', most of the girls at the boarding school come from rich families and aren't exactly the most pleasant people to be around, especially if you aren't from the same social stratum as them. |
| 96 | * ''Film/TheresaAndAllison'': Paisley came from a very wealthy family even before becoming a vampire. She was already cruel and callous before turning as well. After turning she's clearly still well off, with a large very nice apartment where she hosts parties that involve torturing, raping, and murdering humans. |
| 97 | [[/folder]] |
| 98 | |
| 99 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 100 | * Kij Porter in ''Literature/ABrothersPrice''. She looks down on the protagonist's family because they are not nobles. Her sister seems to be in the habit of telling everyone their whole family history, lest anyone forget that they are important. HilarityEnsues when Kij asks the protagonist's sister Corelle: "do you know who I am?", as Corelle repeats everything Kij's sister just told her about the family. |
| 101 | * Ebert, in David Wingrove's ''Literature/ChungKuo''. |
| 102 | * [=MacKenzie=] Hollister of ''Literature/DorkDiaries''. |
| 103 | * Queen Serket from ''Literature/EmperorMolluskVersusTheSinisterBrain'' has ruled over the Everlasting Dynasty for thousands of years and [[ConspicuousConsumption she lives to spoil herself with luxuries]]. [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodSandwich She throws banquets she won't eat]] and [[{{Narcissist}} commissions several statues of herself weekly]], and she considers cutting down on these luxuries to ensure that her servants are able to live (like providing them food, shelter and dental) to be a massive sacrifice on her end. She has since allied herself with The Brain because he refills her coffers for every drop of undying water she gives him to ensure these luxuries. |
| 104 | * ''Literature/HarryPotter'': Draco Malfoy and his parents Lucius and Narcissa. |
| 105 | * OlderThanRadio: Blanche Ingram in Creator/CharlotteBronte's ''Literature/JaneEyre''. |
| 106 | * ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'': Veruca Salt, infamous SpoiledBrat. She eventually gets her comeuppance and goes down a garbage chute. Her mother Angina, who usually gets AdaptedOut in adaptations, is just as bad. |
| 107 | * Lavinia from ''Literature/ALittlePrincess''. |
| 108 | * Esme Squalor from ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents''. Later, her adopted "daughter" Carmelita Spats, who was originally a nasty AlphaBitch, becomes this as well. |
| 109 | * It's not a Creator/JaneAusten novel without one: |
| 110 | ** ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'': |
| 111 | *** Caroline Bingley and her sister Louisa Hurst are prime examples; condescending and haughty, they're full of snide, superior put-downs to the society they find themselves in, and in Caroline's case Elizabeth Bennet in particular (which isn't helped by the fact that she's Darcy's ClingyJealousGirl). It's implied they're almost the eighteenth-century equivalent of ''nouveau riche'', and are making up for their recent good fortune with excessive snobbery. |
| 112 | *** Lady Catherine de Bourgh is a widow of BlueBlood with a vast fortune and huge income. She's nosy, haughty, and extremely meddlesome. She thinks everybody will do what pleases her. |
| 113 | %% ** Fanny Dashwood of ''Literature/SenseAndSensibility'' |
| 114 | %% ** Elizabeth Elliot from ''Literature/{{Persuasion}}''. |
| 115 | %% ** Mrs Elton from ''Literature/{{Emma}}'' |
| 116 | * ''Literature/TheBabySittersClub'': Shannon (at first) and Laine. |
| 117 | %% * Aphrodite from ''Literature/TheHouseOfNight'', who later becomes somewhat of a DefrostingIceQueen. But only somewhat. |
| 118 | * Clarissa from the ''Literature/BloodyJack'' series. |
| 119 | * Hannah St. Charles from ''Literature/{{Samhain Island}}'', but it depends on the person. Though she is nice to most everyone she meets, it doesn't negate the fact that she wanted to watch her brothers [[spoiler:cut off Sky’s finger.]] |
| 120 | * ''Literature/JenniferTheJerkIsMissing'': Eight-year-old rich girl Jennifer, nicknamed Jennifer-the-Jerk by her classmates, is kidnapped for ransom, along with the driver paid to take her to camp. Jennifer's busy making her captors' lives miserable with her brattiness and is so bratty, she acts like a bitch to her rescuers, one of whom says he prefers her tied and gagged. |
| 121 | * Massie Block from ''Literature/TheClique'' series. |
| 122 | * Dame Olga and her daughters Olive and Hattie from ''Literature/EllaEnchanted''. |
| 123 | * Tyburn in ''Literature/RiversOfLondon''. Likes to boast about her political friends, her connections, and dinners at the Houses of Parliament. An utter JerkAss whose own family applauded when the hero slaps down her ReasonYouSuckSpeech with his own NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech. |
| 124 | * ''Literature/InDeath'': A number of characters, murder victims, and murderers are very much this. Pandora in ''Immortal In Death'' becomes an AssholeVictim early on. Winnie and Moriarity are murderous, rich bastards in ''Indulgence In Death''. |
| 125 | * Ellen Salpakari in Väinö Linna's ''Täällä Pohjantähden alla''. |
| 126 | * The ''Literature/ChaletSchool'' series has Thekla von Stift, Marie von Eschenau's cousin and one of the main characters in ''Exploits of the Chalet Girls''. As a member of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junker Junker]] class, she expresses horror at having to be educated alongside 'the daughters of shopkeepers' and looks down on most of the other students, such as Sophie Hamel, whose father is a self-made businessman. Her arrogant and childish behaviour makes her greatly unpopular amongst the other kids, and although she does thaw out a tiny bit - this being the Chalet School - after her petticoat catches fire, she still has a cruel streak and is eventually expelled in ''A Rebel at the Chalet School''. |
| 127 | * Ruahkini from ''Literature/TheQuestOfTheUnaligned'' repeatedly insults Laeshana, calling her entire family traitors for moving to Tonzimmiel and rubbing in that Ruahkini is the royal councilor while Laeshana is only a peasant. |
| 128 | * Rachael from ''Literature/FortHope'' seems to be a good example of this at first. Arguably, deep down, she has a heart of gold. |
| 129 | * ''Literature/TheMissus'': Rowena, the former Countess of Trevethick who still lives off the Trevelyan estate (it was mentioned in the [[Literature/TheMister first book]] she only married her late ex-husband [[GoldDigger for his fortune/title]]), is a stuck-up, shallow and selfish {{Jerkass}} who demands respect she's done nothing to earn, treats her own children (especially Maxim) like crap and makes rude and classist remarks about [[ObnoxiousInLaws Alessia]] both to other people and to Alessia's face (including referring to her as "the help"[[note]]Alessia used to be a house cleaner, which is how she and Maxim first met[[/note]] and saying that "you can't make a fine purse out of a sow's ear" in reference to Alessia's attempts to fit into London's high society). Rowena also tries to pay off Alessia to leave her son, asking her how much it'll cost to get rid of her. |
| 130 | * Shan Elariel from ''Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy''. Abrasive, snooty, rude, and the fiancée of Vin's LoveInterest. Vin ends up killing her when she tries to murder said LoveInterest and gets into a duel with Vin in the process. |
| 131 | * Tom from ''Literature/TheGreatGatsby'' is a male example. Daisy can sometimes come off as this, though she's more [[StepfordSmiler miserable]] and hopelessly naive than truly cruel. [[DeadpanSnarker Jordan]] is rather nasty as well, but at least she's funny. |
| 132 | * In ''Literature/MakingMoney'' there's Pucci Lavish, who's not only mean but dumb as a sack of rocks ([[InsultToRocks and at that, let's hope rocks don't complain]]) and probably wouldn't have survived without money. She has a serious case of ItsAllAboutMe, tries to put on a better show than Moist, and at one point tries to pull a HoneyTrap on Moist despite being morbidly obese and not even having a very pretty face. Cosmo Lavish, Pucci's brother, is a borderline example as well, though he's more notable for being ''absolutely insane''. |
| 133 | * Creator/IsaacAsimov's "Literature/SatisfactionGuaranteed": Gladys Claffern is always prepared for a social barb to subtly insult our protagonist, an insinuation about her lack of class, or simply an opportunity to laugh at her. |
| 134 | * ''Literature/KingCity'': The murderer of one of the plotlines ultimately comes across as this. She throws a fit when being driven back to the police station in the slum that the victim (her maid) came from, saying she isn’t one of those people and he can’t keep her there, and physically resisting his efforts to take her to that station. |
| 135 | * ''Literature/BazilBroketail'': Like most of Ourdh's nobility, she thinks that being rich and influential makes her inherently superior to ordinary people, especially those of foreign descent. In fact, she expects Relkin to be court-martialed simply because he was reluctant to reveal the location of General Hektor's headquarters as she demanded — on the grounds that this is a military secret that she should not reveal to any person who asks (also because Relkin was resentful over the fact that Zettila's coachman Aimlor decided to catch his attention by whipping him). |
| 136 | * Augusta [=Hozenberg-Lemonov-Bouragne=] in ''Literature/TheHaremProtagonistWasTurnedIntoAGirlAndDoesntWantToChangeBack'' is an heiress to various European royal lines with a huge estate and is the most abrasive of protagonist Svetlana's love interests. She was only interested in Svetlana as she wanted to have a baby with her, pre-Svetlana's [[TransRelationshipTroubles transition]] when Svetlana was still going by "Kevin", and is the most outright resistant and transphobic member of the group - partially due to a baby now being off the cards [[spoiler:until she finds out alien technology can bypass this issue]] and partially due to her [[HeteronormativeCrusader religious upbringing]]. She also starts arguments with the other girls the easiest. |
| 137 | [[/folder]] |
| 138 | |
| 139 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 140 | %%* Another male example: Prince Wendell of ''Series/The10thKingdom'' (at least before he learns his {{Aesop}} from spending a month as a dog). |
| 141 | %%* The cast of ''Series/AbsolutelyFabulous''. |
| 142 | %%* Lucille Bluth from ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment''. |
| 143 | * ''Series/{{Bewitched}}'': Sheila Summers is one of Darrin's rich, snobby former girlfriends. She invites Darrin and Samantha to her house for a posh dinner party, then tries to steal him away from her. Samantha uses her powers to put Sheila in her place. |
| 144 | * Servalan from ''Series/BlakesSeven''. [[Series/Dynasty1981 Alexis Carrington]] meets [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour Big Brother]] and gets fashion tips from [[Series/{{V 2009}} Anna]]. |
| 145 | * ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': |
| 146 | ** Cordelia. After the first season, her character developed into the LovableAlphaBitch. By the time she was introduced in the spin-off, she was a FallenPrincess who got even more character development by the time the spin-off was cancelled. |
| 147 | ** Halfrek was this when she was Cecily. |
| 148 | * ''Series/DesperateHousewives'' is made of this. Edie, Gabrielle, Katherine, and Renee all qualify at various times in the series. It may be quicker to just say Lynnette, Susan, and Mrs. McClusky are the only ones who don't fit the description. |
| 149 | ** Averted with Bree, who is rich but has used her wealth for good causes such as helping her friends out with money problems over the course of the series. |
| 150 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E5RiseOfTheCybermen "Rise of the Cybermen"]] presents an AlternateUniverse version of Jackie Tyler, Rose's mother, who chews out her secretly-estranged husband for petty details, flaunts diamond-studded accessories, and withholds wages from well-meaning employees if they accidentally offend her. And since this is Jackie, she offends easily. |
| 151 | ** Lady Cassandra also counts. She has a huge ego, counts with vast wealth, likes to show off her influence to others, and isn't above committing terrible crimes on other [[FantasticRacism people that don't fit her biased definition of human.]] At one point, she calls herself a Chav in horror after possessing the Doctor's companion [[WorkingClassHero Rose Tyler]] since she thinks she is too brassy for her taste. However, her biases aren't strong enough to the point that [[ProudBeauty she can't appreciate her new (Rose's) figure on closer look, eventually admitting that she has become quite attractive,]] saying that while not bad, she can use her wealth in order to [[HereWeGoAgain improve her looks through plastic surgery either way.]] |
| 152 | * Lady Mary of ''Series/DowntonAbbey''. A self-admitted not-"nice" person, inflexible, and fiercely protective of her opulent lifestyle. She is very much her father's daughter, while her sisters are a smidgen more in touch with the people. That being said, she isn't uncaring or unfeeling, but mostly stubborn and contrary -- and she comes to actually love and care for Matthew enough to marry him (despite seeing him as embarrassingly middle-class at first). |
| 153 | %%* Alexis Carrington on ''Series/Dynasty1981'', with honorable mention to Sable and Dominique. |
| 154 | * On an episode of ''Series/{{Elementary}}'', the prime suspect in the murder case is one of these, but then it turns out she's been in a coma after a suicide attempt. [[spoiler:She really did commit the murders because she did not want to share her massive family inheritance and used a medically-induced coma to create her alibi. Her next victim would have been her own twin sister had Sherlock not figured it out in time.]] |
| 155 | %%** On a side note, Sherlock's father is a distinct male example of this. |
| 156 | %%* Jool on ''Series/{{Farscape}}''. |
| 157 | * Niles' vicious, hysterical, snobbish wife Maris from ''Series/{{Frasier}}''. She uses her money to hire an army of lawyers to thoroughly torture Niles out of spite during their messy divorce. |
| 158 | * ''Series/GilmoreGirls'': Emily Gilmore. Classic blue blood snob with a sharp tongue, she frequently makes her daughter Lorelai feel about two inches tall. A running joke is her inability to keep a maid; they either quit over her treatment of them or she fires them for failing to live up to her ridiculous standards. She does show a softer side at times. |
| 159 | * ''Series/GossipGirl'' has Blair Waldorf and Georgina Sparks. Toward the end of the series run, Lily van der Woodsen can be added to the list. |
| 160 | * Traci Van Horn from ''Series/HannahMontana'', who, among other infractions, frequently tells Lola, to her face, no less, how uncool she thinks Lola is. This despite being friends with Hannah, who publicly humiliates herself just as often as Lola. Hannah Montana herself also qualifies from time to time. |
| 161 | * ''Series/HemlockGrove'': Good lord, Olivia Godfrey. She's snobbish, haughty, shamelessly elitist, and controlling and manipulative to the point where even her own relatives hate her. But as the richest woman in town, she can usually get away with a lot of crap. When her husband died, the newspapers even called her "the most beautiful and despised woman in Hemlock Grove". |
| 162 | * On ''Series/TheJoeSchmoShow'', a parody of reality shows in which all characters except the chosen schmoes were actors playing according to scripts, all of the characters were intended as archetypes, such as "The Schemer" and "The Grizzled Veteran." In the first season, the archetype of Ashleigh was specifically described as that of "The Rich Bitch" and she showed it too, regularly bad-mouthing other contestants and being generally manipulative while flaunting her wealth. |
| 163 | * In an episode of ''Series/{{Lucifer}}'', the murderer turns out to be an EntitledBitch, who was annoyed that [[spoiler:a surfer]] was ruining the view of "her" beach. In fact, California doesn't have private beaches, so all her "keep away" signs are illegal. |
| 164 | * ''Series/MotherlandFortSalem'': Abigail, who's from a very wealthy family, is initially very rude to Raelle and Tally, believing the pair are beneath her. She request reassignment from their unit, convinced they will hold her back. However, later they bond and Abigail eventually warms to them so much she considers both her sisters. |
| 165 | * ''Series/TheNanny'': C.C. Babcock is Maxwell Sheffield's business partner, [[StalkerWithACrush with whom she's obsessed with]], and [[ChildHater she's not fond of the Sheffield children]] (despite working in their home). |
| 166 | * Stephanie Vanderkellen on ''Series/{{Newhart}}'', although her parents have "cut her off", which is why she's working as a hotel maid. In the show's first season, the maid was Leslie, Stephanie's equally rich but non-bitchy cousin who took the job to see "how the other half lives". |
| 167 | * In a flashback in ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'', we learn that Yellow Ranger Summer was like this in the past, albeit of the JerkWithAHeartOfGold variety. In the year leading up to the show's proper start, she had undergone a massive attitude shift and is very reasonable and personable, however. |
| 168 | * All Margaux Kramer on ''Series/PunkyBrewster'' has to do to flaunt how rich she is: just call everybody a "peasant". |
| 169 | * In Series/AlRawabiSchoolForGirls, Layan is this mixed with ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections. She gets away with everything from truancy to hospitalising Mariam, due to being from a politically powerful father and [[spoiler:dating the principal's son (though it's unknown if Faten knew this).]] Deconstructed when [[spoiler:her brother Hakem shoots her in an [[HonorBeforeReason attempt to protect the reputation of the family]].]] |
| 170 | %%* Atia from ''Series/{{Rome}}'' embodies some of these qualities. |
| 171 | * ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'': Libby is snobby and mean. |
| 172 | * ''Series/{{Smallville}}'': ManipulativeBastard [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Tess Mercer]] is a villainous version. After her HeelFaceTurn, she's still rich but the bitchiness has softened into more of a [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] jerk attitude, particularly around [[spoiler: her fellow]] members of Clark's team. |
| 173 | %%* Bela from ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''. She made money from being hired to steal mystical artifacts. |
| 174 | %%* ''Series/TheCloser'': "The Butler Did It" featured a family of suspects whose characteristics were of both this trope and BigScrewedUpFamily. |
| 175 | %%* C.C. Babcock of ''Series/TheNanny''. |
| 176 | %%* Julie Cooper on ''Series/TheOC''. |
| 177 | * London Tipton from ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody''. Slight subversion, as London appears to be a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold genuinely good-natured person]] who simply doesn't understand that you're not supposed to treat people that way. |
| 178 | * ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt: Margaret Richardson in "[[Recap/TalesFromTheCryptS2E4TilDeath 'Til Death]]". On first meeting her, Logan describes her as "a bitch on wheels and four-on-the-floor". She does nothing but complain about how primitive and unpleasant the tropical island is and, even after being enchanted to fall in love with Logan, she demands he sack his staff and employ more presentable servants. |
| 179 | * ''Series/{{Thanks}}'': Polly's cousin and her husband are wealthy businesspeople from 1621 Jamestown who look down on Polly and everyone else in Plymouth. |
| 180 | * Emma Messinger from ''Series/TheThickOfIt''. In fact, when Glenn Cullen [[TakeThisJobAndShoveIt decides to resign]] and delivers his extremely bitter TheReasonYouSuck speech to the entire department, he specifically singles Emma out as a "standard-issue insipid posh bitch." |
| 181 | %%* ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen''. Evelyn is the epitome of this trope. |
| 182 | %%* Wilhelmina Slater of ''Series/UglyBetty''. |
| 183 | * Celia on ''Series/{{Weeds}}''. The obsession with her daughter's weight ''alone'' qualifies her, but is just the tip of the iceberg. Even after going through incredible amounts of BreakTheHaughty, she still manages to keep this attitude. |
| 184 | %%* Karen from ''Series/WillAndGrace''. |
| 185 | * Poppy Meldrum from ''Series/YouRangMLord''. Over the whole series, she treats every character she meets like crap: throws a tantrum when her father refuses to give her money, hates her fiance and her [[WholesomeCrossdresser sister Cissy]], toys with James the footman's [[spoiler: feelings for her]], treats Ivy the maid badly because of [[spoiler: her feelings for James]] and is cruel for the servants in general. |

| 188 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 189 | * One of the songs from Music/TheStooges' ''Metallic K.O.'' is called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Rich Bitch"]]. |
| 190 | * The title character of Music/BlackSabbath's 1983 song, "Digital Bitch". |
| 191 | * South African hip hop group Music/DieAntwoord has a song called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Rich Bitch"]]. |
| 192 | * Music/DarylHallAndJohnOates' "Rich Girl" includes the line, "You're a rich bitch, girl." |
| 193 | * Music/LadyGaga's song about Donatella Versace, "Donatella", has this line, "I'm a rich bitch, I'm the upper class." |
| 194 | * A lyric in Laid Back's song "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Horse_(Laid_Back_song) White Horse.]]" |
| 195 | * The title character of Music/OliviaRodrigo's song, "All-American Bitch". |
| 196 | [[/folder]] |
| 197 | |
| 198 | [[folder:Myths & Religion]] |
| 199 | * ''Literature/TheBible'': The prophet [[Literature/BookOfAmos Amos]] doesn't have any pleasant words to say about the wealthy women of Samaria who oppress the poor, crush the needy, and demand for their husbands to always bring them drinks, referring to those women as "[[FatBastard cows of Bashan]]" and saying that God will bring out every last one of them with fishhooks for judgment. |
| 200 | [[/folder]] |
| 201 | |
| 202 | [[folder:Pro Wrestling]] |
| 203 | * "The Million Dollar Man" Wrestling/TedDiBiase's motto was that everybody had a price. He regularly bribed the crowd to pop for him by showering them in dollar bills. (This gimmick was picked up by Wrestling/MissElizabeth during her heel run in Wrestling/{{WCW}}, though apparently it was more economical to have her peel off $1 bills and hope the cameras didn't catch it -- a vain hope, as it turns out.) Wrestling/SherriMartel managed [=DiBiase=] for a while in the WWF, playing the Ivanna Trump to Teddy's Donald. Formerly just a vanilla heel, she evidently came into some money after winning the women's title, much like Teddy before when he adopted his now-famous gimmick. She also dated Wrestling/RandySavage during his feud with "Common Man" Wrestling/DustyRhodes and took umbrage when Dusty invited a round woman in the audience to be his valet. |
| 204 | -->'''[[http://cewshreviews.blogspot.com/2010/01/wwf-royal-rumble-1990.html Cewsh]]''': The idea being that he’s just a common man, so he should have a common valet. Martel and Macho take offense at them, for some reason, and Sherri spends some time yelling about what a peasant Sapphire is while I admire her sexy, sexy ass. (Rest In Peace, Madam.) |
| 205 | ** [[Wrestling/TedDibiaseJr His son]], who goes by the same name, is repeatedly trying to state now that he's a very different person than this father, all while stuffing dollar bills in people's mouths, buying people off, and carrying the Million Dollar Belt around due to being unable to win one himself. |
| 206 | *** Ted Jr has since ditched the belt and [[HeelFaceTurn turned face.]] |
| 207 | * One of the facets of Wrestling/RicFlair's "Nature Boy" gimmick was that he had enough money to get away with being a jackass sometimes. |
| 208 | * When he first arrived in the WWF, Wrestling/TripleH was Hunter Hearst Hemsley, American blue blood from Greenwich, Connecticut. |
| 209 | * For that matter, the entire [[Characters/WWEMcMahonFamily [=McMahon=] Family]] have played up this trope, but especially Stephanie. Her nickname is the "Billion Dollar Princess". |
| 210 | * Wrestling/PrinceNana, who used the taxes of Ghana to buy lavish gifts for his [[PowerStable Embassy]] in Wrestling/RingOfHonor. However, the straightest if shorter-lived examples were "The Lovely Lacey" and Becky Bayless of Special K, an entire [[PowerStable stable]] of rich blowouts. It is where Lacey got her first "[[ProperLady lady]]" of ROH moniker from, even though she was predated in the promotion by Allison Danger, Simply Luscious, and the like. |
| 211 | * [[RealLifeWritesThePlot After he invested heavily in a popular energy drink whose stock dramatically rose in 2004]], former APA (for "Acolytes Protection Agency") member Bradshaw transformed seemingly overnight from a beer-swilling, Texas trailer park brawler to a fabulously wealthy Wall Street tycoon known by his real name of John Layfield (or, to be more specific, Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield, or "JBL" for short). JBL turned his back on his Texas roots, billing himself from New York City and entering arenas in a beautiful white limousine. In the ring, however, he was still just as tough as ever - only now he was a [[{{Jerkass}} bully]] who enjoyed beating up on smaller wrestlers, particularly Rey Mysterio. JBL did manage to defeat WWE Champion Wrestling/EddieGuerrero (in controversial fashion, it is true) and become the longest-reigning world champion in the history of ''[=SmackDown!=]'', but this was thanks to the constant interventions of his "Cabinet" (Orlando Jordan and the Basham Brothers), who gladly put their own asses on the line so their ultra-wealthy boss could weasel his way out of defeats. |
| 212 | * Somewhat subverted with Wrestling/WadeBarrett, who was introduced as someone who will do anything for money, but aside from that mention, that hasn't been a part of his gimmick. |
| 213 | [[/folder]] |
| 214 | |
| 215 | [[folder:Roleplay]] |
| 216 | * Almost all rich characters in ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' seem to fall into this stereotype, regardless of whether they are male or female. Two particularly notable examples are Olivia Swan and Charlie Burchman, both of V3, both being thoroughly nasty pieces of work. In SOTF, most disliked characters wind up getting their comeuppance. This also tends to overlap with AlphaBitch. |
| 217 | * A notable example from ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittestMini'' is Brittany Chesterton, from The Program V3 Prologue. |
| 218 | [[/folder]] |
| 219 | |
| 220 | [[folder:Theatre]] |
| 221 | * Subverted in the musical ''Theatre/{{Fame}}'' where everyone believes that the new dancer is a Rich Bitch, with Tyrone even singing lyrics to that effect (I don't need no Rich Bitch/to tell me which/fork to use) only for her to angrily confide in him that actually, her dad is a limo-driver who drops her off on his way to work and that she's barely middle-class. |
| 222 | * ''Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad'' has the incredibly wealthy, impossibly snobbish and cruelly domineering Madame Rosepettle. |
| 223 | * Linda Monroe from ''Theatre/BlackFriday'' most certainly qualifies. Doubles given the fact that she's also an [[CrossesTheLineTwice abusive wife, a murderer, and a cult leader.]] |
| 224 | [[/folder]] |
| 225 | |
| 226 | [[folder:Toys]] |
| 227 | * Cleo De Nile, the mummy princess from ''Toys/MonsterHigh''. However, while she acts stuck up and rude like most portrayals, she has been shown to be pretty nice, if not out of touch. |
| 228 | [[/folder]] |
| 229 | |
| 230 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 231 | * [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDIGames CD-I Zelda]] thinks it's GOOD to kill people, and constantly denies that Link saved her from Ganon. Alma is worse, though, spending most of her time looking at herself in a mirror. |
| 232 | * ''Franchise/StreetFighter'': |
| 233 | ** Karin Kanzuki. In Sakura and Rainbow Mika's paths in ''Street Fighter Alpha 3'', she does show some hints of [[PetTheDog softening up]], but you wouldn't be able to tell that from her win quotes. |
| 234 | ** In the first two versions of ''Street Fighter 3'', Dudley was a more or less straight example of this, only entering the tournament to get his father's Jaguar back, and calling all his opponents sissy men and cowards in his win quotes. In ''Third Strike'' and ''Super Street Fighter 4''? Why, he's one of the most [[AvertedTrope charming gentlemen]] to ever exist in a fighting game, to the point where his win quotes in his first two games seem hilariously out of character. |
| 235 | * ''VideoGame/EliteBeatAgents'' has the Carrington sisters, who appear to be [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed parodies]] of Paris and Nicky Hilton. With a little help from the Agents, they manage to survive on a deserted island by sweet-talking the wildlife into helping them find food and build shelter. And by "sweet-talking", we mean going "Hey, guyz!" while blowing kisses and bouncing her breasts at them. The sisters seem to consider their stranded status an impromptu vacation (and given Commander Kahn's wearing a Hawaiian shirt when he calls the Agents out, he doesn't take it too seriously either); at level's end, they get off the island by flashing a diamond credit card at a passing jet. The level's song? "Material Girl", by Madonna. |
| 236 | ** And those animals are not the first victims of their "Sweet talking". The first victim is the dog Sam in the previous level, whom they 'Sweet-talked' to get it for a ride (which thankfully, goes along with its purpose to get back home). |
| 237 | ** For crying out loud, they bounce at some poor animals to ''[[TooDumbToLive help them eat fruit]].'' |
| 238 | ** There's also the wife of oil tycoon Colonel Bob. The main reason the man needed the song was that she went completely overboard buying diamonds, erasing his ''billions'' in one go. |
| 239 | * ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'': Pinky, the only girl in the Preppies clique, is a Rich Bitch Classic... except for when she's being SpoiledSweet. She swings between bitch and sweet so quickly and suddenly it's almost like she has a split personality. |
| 240 | * Etoile Rosenqueen from the ''Marl Kingdom'' games tends to come off as one of these, even hiring out Mooks and heavy weaponry to win a ''[[SeriousBusiness beauty pageant]]''. She ''does'' [[CharacterDevelopment become a lot more of a sympathetic character]] later in ''VideoGame/RhapsodyAMusicalAdventure,'' though, and she's definitely one of the Heart of Gold Rich Bitches. |
| 241 | * Joe Chin from ''VideoGame/ParappaTheRapper''. He's got the money, the car, and the looks. He's practically got it better than Parappa and he doesn't let anyone forget it. |
| 242 | * The DS remake of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV'' introduces Debora, a third candidate for TheHero's bride, who may or may not have a golden heart under all that jewelry. She spends about 90% of the marriage being an ungrateful, insane slave-driver not unlike those that imprisoned the Hero earlier, but by the time she witnesses for herself the final major tragedy in his in-game life, her tune changes and she vows to make Nimzo pay for what he did to her husband. |
| 243 | * Bianca de Saint-Coquille in the ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'' spinoff ''VideoGame/RuneFactory''. She lives in the largest house on Kaldia Island and is utterly unimpressed by anything you try to give her, be it strawberries or sapphires. This makes her the only marriage candidate out of the lot where it's easier to just sweet-talk her. |
| 244 | * Subverted in ''[[VideoGame/FatalFury Fatal Fury: Mark Of The Wolves]]''. Bonne Jenet ''is'' a rich girl per family rights, but hates mooching off and prefers to make her own money... as [[TheLadette a pirate queen]] ActionGirl. |
| 245 | * Sumire Kanzaki of ''VideoGame/SakuraWars''. Rich? Check. Heiress to the company that makes the Kobu-Kais? Check. {{Jerkass}}? Double check. |
| 246 | ** Her French counterpart Glycine Bleumer meanwhile, is more "rich" and less "bitch", centering more on heir-related pride and willingness to protect it quite fiercely, which can manifest in a rather pompous way of speech. |
| 247 | * Super Macho Man from ''VideoGame/PunchOut'', Wii version. In one of the in-between round breaks, he tells the reporters "Oh, these sunglasses? You can't afford these sunglasses! And get your hands off the ropes!" When you score a TKO on him, the last blow animation shows him having ''money'' fly out of him as he collapses. |
| 248 | * ''VideoGame/{{Bioshock|1}}'': Some of the lady Splicers act like this. The setting has degenerated ''way'' past the point where money means anything, and the Splicers are [[AxCrazy batshit insane]] to a man, but still. |
| 249 | -->''[[MadnessMantra "You call this tenderloin? If you served that in any respectable hotel in New York, they'd laugh you out of town!]]'' |
| 250 | * If a female Ventrue PC in ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'' declines to give money to a bum, he'll call her one of these. |
| 251 | * ''VideoGame/NightTrap'' has Lisa, though she's more vain than bitchy. |
| 252 | * Miss Money from the ''VideoGame/{{Richman}}'' series is a PR manager who only cares about anyone who's rich, and she believes the value of life is depended on their money. This eventually bites back in ''8'''s Story Mode when [[spoiler: James, a detective who is also a superhero, learned her snooty attitude and refuses to help her stopping any monsters wrecking her properties anymore in the final round.]] |
| 253 | * Ultimately averted with Ai Ebihara in ''VideoGame/Persona4''. She initially comes off as [[AlphaBitch beautiful but cold-hearted]], but it's revealed that [[spoiler: her family used to be poor and she, in her own words, was a "stinkin' fatso", making her [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer prone to mockery.]] When [[RagsToRiches her father]] struck it [[NouveauRiche rich in real estate]], Ai decided to [[IJustWantToBeBeautiful change her image so she wouldn't be mocked anymore]].]] |
| 254 | * ''Franchise/FireEmblem'': |
| 255 | ** Subverted with [[spoiler: Serra]] from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Blazing Blade]]''. She actually [[spoiler:is an orphan who works as a vassal for a rich noble house, and a lot of her behavior [[StepfordSmiler is a mask]] to hide [[BrokenBird her serious abandonment issues]].]] |
| 256 | ** While more SpoiledSweet and a LovableAlphaBitch, Maribelle, a noblewoman mounted healer, from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' can come off as snobbish and cold to people, except for those she considers her friends. |
| 257 | * Subverted with Algus from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics''. Algus is a classist, violent douchebag through and through, but because of cowardice and treachery on the part of his grandfather, his family's aristocratic status has been revoked. This gives Algus an ambition that parallels that of Delita and Ramza. Delita wants to rise above his birth station, Ramza wants to live up to his, and Algus wants to regain one he himself never got to experience. |
| 258 | * Viscountess Danielle in ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. She makes fun of your clothes, saying that they came from a trash can, even if you're wearing the expensive Lumiose Boutique outfits. |
| 259 | * Lady Selphy in the remakes of ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue''. She doesn't recognize you after rescuing her from the Lost Cave, gives you only 250 steps to show her a Pokemon before she gets bored, and her name itself is a pun on "selfish." |
| 260 | * ''VideoGame/AdvancedVariableGeo'' has Reimi, the young heiress of the Jahana Group, the MegaCorp responsible for running the V.G. tournaments. She becomes a much nicer person in the second game. |
| 261 | * Story Mode in the console port of ''VideoGame/TheSims'' has Mimi or Dudley Landgraab (the Landgraab's gender will always match the player Sim), who asks you to move in with them to a pretty nice house. The problem is, Mimi/Dudley doesn't quite understand the difference between "roommate" and "maid", leaving the player Sim to do all the cleaning and a lot of cooking, in addition to having an actual job, which Mimi/Dudley refuses to do themselves. She/he often insults you as well. Thankfully, the next level of Story Mode is achieved by moving out with one of the nicer friends. |
| 262 | * Alouette from ''VideoGame/RecettearAnItemShopsTale'' turns this into a positive aspect (for the player anyways) since she's willing to buy high and sell low from Recette's shop just to show off that she has money to burn. [[spoiler: That, and she secretly wants to be Recette's friend and feels that helping to alleviate her debt problems is the best way to do so.]] |
| 263 | * ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'' has Lady Aurelia Hammerlock, Sir Hammerlock's evil sister, as one of the playable characters. She's wealthy enough that she bought an entirely new mansion after accidentally dropping the keys to the old one on the ground, and the only reason she's tagging along with Handsome Jack's band of Vault Hunters is that she's bored and hoping to kill things. Fittingly enough, her class name is TheBaroness, and two of her three skill trees fit her character to a T: Contractual Aristocracy centers around using another player as your servant, while Cold Money focuses on [[AnIcePerson Cryo]] damage and her ice-based Action Skill to complement her [[IceQueen frosty personality]]. |
| 264 | * With her high-scale house, expensive clothes, and snobbish ways, Lady Cassandra Mallory from ''VideoGame/{{Moonrise}}'' fits this trope to a T. |
| 265 | * ''VideoGame/Vampyr2018'': Aloysious Dawson is the richest businessman in London and an ally to the [[CouncilOfVampires Ascalon Club]] hoping to one day cheat death by [[VampireVannabe becoming a vampire]]. When [[PlayerCharacter Jonathan]] is charged by [[VampireMonarch Lord Redgrave]] with turning Dawson into a vampire as a reward for his services, Dawson makes it clear that he will use his newfound condition to do pretty much whatever he wants and crush those that stand in his way. He also looks down on Jonathan's humble position as a doctor, letting him know that even though he would be his progeny, Dawson will not refer to him as "master" (he is too high class to do such a thing). |
| 266 | * Lady Delcia Caan in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII''. The keep she resides in is under attack from Trolls, and all she can think of is for the lowly peasants to keep their distance from her to avoid contaminating her. She's thoroughly abusive towards the Guard who's stationed in her room because it's his job to defend her with his life during the Troll attack. The Guard is thoroughly relieved when the party arrives because that gives him the excuse to put as much distance as he can between Lady Delcia and himself. And of course, Lady Delcia is an UngratefulBastard to the party, as they're "tracking their filth through the halls". She would likely have died had the party not arrived to deal with the Trolls. |
| 267 | [[/folder]] |
| 268 | |
| 269 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 270 | * Cecilia from ''VisualNovel/DaughterForDessert'' is rude and condescending to just about everyone outside of her family. |
| 271 | * Gilgamesh from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' fits this perfectly. He owns everything in the world including (in his twisted POV), the people. [[StormOfBlades His main attack]] is to spam [[PublicDomainArtifact Public Domain Artifacts]] at the target (most Servants have one or two that they treasure), 'cause he owns all of them, and all the prototypes. He also is a massive JerkAss who wants to marry and/or rape (doesn't care which) [[LadyOfWar Saber]]. |
| 272 | * Eva Ushiromiya from ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' might not be any richer than her siblings, but she has no problems fitting the trope, to the point where she considers herself the only one worthy of Kinzo's estate. And just look at the way she treats [[TheWoobie Natsuhi]]. |
| 273 | [[/folder]] |
| 274 | |
| 275 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 276 | * Camilla [=McQueen=] from ''WebAnimation/BowsersKoopalings'' is an unbearable [[BrattyTeenageDaughter teenage]] SpoiledBrat who thinks [[AlphaBitch her status as a rich and popular girl]] gives her the right to mistreat and boss around those she considers "peasants", including her closest friends. Camilla will also use and dispose of people without feeling any remorse whatsoever, with many times believing that if someone is suffering, [[NoSympathy then it's their own fault]]. |
| 277 | * ''WebAnimation/MangaRoom'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GdUnxxVoz8 Claire]] was initially one until her father's company went bankrupt, and her personality has drastically changed after living with Kota. |
| 278 | * ''WebAnimation/MangaWaido'': |
| 279 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKYWeT5qrVM Grew up in a poor family, but I became a doctor…]]'': Sanae Kitagawa bullied Hiroyuki Saito for being poor and his friend Mika Kudo for defending him. Years later she flattered Saito once [[spoiler:he became a doctor and saved her father's life.]] However, he rejects Kitagawa and remarks her refusal to get a job well into her thirties and marries Kudo instead. Afterward, Kitagawa [[spoiler:got kicked out of the house when her father's business tanked.]] |
| 280 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX9sfMZQH_o I finally get a job offer but my girlfriend tells me to decline. What's behind this!?]]'': Tomoko is a rich young woman who abused her former boyfriend Yuta and only liked him for his looks, driving him to quit his gas company job and make his own money. While eating and drinking with the Managing Director to celebrate the former's promotion, the man drunkenly revealed [[spoiler:he had an affair with Tomoko and even "helped" her with her [[PlasticBitch plastic surgery debts]]. In the end, Yuta drops her like a hot potato and she leaves the city with the remaining debts.]] |
| 281 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSoTWX0zIXI My boyfriend's mom thought that I was poor until...]]'': Toru's mother is a rich housewife who looks down on her son's girlfriend, Asuka, for being supposedly poor. Turns out that Asuka [[spoiler:is the Vice President of the Dem-Pondo Company and the granddaughter of said company's Chairman.]] To top it off, the stuck-up hag's restaurant was struggling financially until going bankrupt six months later. |
| 282 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mdtE3wUZ5M How I got revenge on a rich snobby woman]]'': Miyata is a rich housewife who looks down on single moms such as Kaori. When Kaori started working for a housekeeping service, Miyata hired her and kept making sarcastic comments and demanding that Kaori make the house spick and span. This led to Kaori bungling her traditional tea lessons and the instructor was revealed to be [[spoiler: Miyata's mother-in-law. The next time Kaori was hired, the instructor forced her to learn from Kaori on how to do housework so she will stop using the service. To top it off, Miyata's husband found out she used the service behind his back.]] |
| 283 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuQmp1C0bu0 My fiancee dumped me when she found out I had saved a homeless man's life…]]'': Reina is a rich woman who Masato meets at the opera. She treats him like trash for saving a homeless woman named Yui from being run over on their way to a luxury restaurant and then dumps him in favor of a CEO. |
| 284 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W219d_E5U0s The wannabe and the Rich girl]]'' (sic): Rina Tono is a rich woman who got transferred to the branch where Yuki works. She has proven herself a hindrance since day one, forcing her coworkers to cover for her since she always leaves early to see the new collections of designer brands and whenever she does work, she half-asses it all. No one can take her to task because she's the niece of a board member. |
| 285 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e0165FC8uU The rich lady in our group is annoying]]'': Kiyoda is a rich woman who Fumika and the other moms dislike due to her bragging about her wealth. Her son is no better as he hurt a girl's feelings by bragging about how rich he is and how poor the girl is. Reika was able to show her up by claiming that her 50,000 yen was too little compared to her wealth. |
| 286 | * ''WebAnimation/RefreshingStories'': Mean rich girls are among the types of antagonists to appear in episodes starring Rin as the main character. |
| 287 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61UZGUnsP50 "A rich girl ruins my kimono at the coming of age ceremony but..."]]: Marie is a rich girl who buys the latest kimono designs. She treated Rin horribly and even cut her dress during a coming-of-age ceremony because she thought it was cheap. The kimono's worth turned out to be ''30 million yen'' and Rin's father cut off all ties with Marie's father's company. |
| 288 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFNTscRJXyE "This girl picked on me at school…"]]: Misaki is a rich girl whose dad owns all the islands. She treats everyone like slaves and threatens to have her dad fire theirs and the teachers won't do anything. When Kyosuke's company bought Misaki's father's company he kicked him out of his own company and he was forced to work as a street performer while Misaki was forced to work at a factory. |
| 289 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqlSu1rUGPQ "Moron mom friend who mocks me saying that I'm poor breaks my watch, so I told her how much it costs"]]: Miki is a rich mother who bullied Lynn for being poor and even forced the latter to lend her son Sho's clothes because the former didn't want her son Shige to ruin his own. This escalated when she took Lynn's watch behind her back while borrowing clothes. |
| 290 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnADLl-OtO8 "They made fun of my house, so I decided to show them my real house!"]]: Ayame and Kurumi followed Rin to her house to find out who she was since she used a scholarship to study at the same university as them. When they saw her in a humble worn-down house, they mock her for being poor. |
| 291 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCaRtgo_G0s "My adoptive parents doted on my brother and kicked me out of the house"]]: Ms. Satoda was a stuck-up housewife who mocked Rin Kohinata because her husband's restaurant was notorious for having bad food. She even had her son, Shunta, bully Rin's son, Daisuke, for the same reason. However, Ms. Satoda reveals that she married her husband for his money while badmouthing him to Rin. |
| 292 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5U4Z_3HF0k "This woman sent the wrong message to the PTA chat and exposed her own affair"]]: Chika mocks Rin for being a StrugglingSingleMother, blaming her for divorcing Shuhei since he claimed to own a casino while gloating about being married to a bank manager. However, Chika's luck runs out when she accidentally reveals her affair with Shuhei over the PTA's LINE chat. Goro, who was the group administrator, divorces and sues her for alimony. Not only did Chika screw herself out of an accommodated life for her greed, but condemned herself to spend the rest of her days with Shuhei [[spoiler:fleeing from debt collectors upon realizing he was a good-for-nothing gambling addict.]] |
| 293 | * ''WebAnimation/RomComMangaChan'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_iIzJOsKi8 Sara]] is a rich young woman who treated Kent like a slave on every date. Kent himself even describes their relationship as "[[TheOjou a young lady]] and her servant". She dumps him for taking her to a family restaurant named "Perfectly Lonely". |
| 294 | * ''WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'': The guy who bought Mario's spaghetti in "0% of Spaghetti" is this, [[spoiler: [[http://supermarioglitchy4.wikia.com/wiki/Guy_(0%_of_Spaghetti)#Gallery according to a caption of a picture depicting his house in a gallery on the guy's SMG4 Wiki page]] that says "LOOK HOW RICH HE IS"]]. |
| 295 | * ''WebAnimation/TanabataManga'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glQKvKICV9U Kikuko]] looks down on Mariko just because she works part-time as a janitor, she later crosses the line by manipulating Mariko and her daughter to leaving the bus by lying to her about the departure schedule of the bus. |
| 296 | * ''WebAnimation/TroubleBusters'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0213NWtw3U Jackie]] looks down on Darcy and Jessica because they dressed poorly in her eyes. She even goes as far as to criticize their table manners at an upscale restaurant that all three went to. It is later revealed that Jessica is a CEO's daughter and that Jackie lost her secretary job when her company went bankrupt and now works as a janitor in Jessica's company building. Jessica decided not to renew her contract. |

| 299 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 300 | * Emil from ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'' underwent a RichesToRags period a few years ago, and has yet to completely shake the rich guy attitude off. That loss of wealth included moving from being a [[HomeschooledKids Homeschooled Kid]] who could tailor his own curriculum to being in the public school system, where his grades dramatically dropped. Could his expensive private tutors have been [[YesMan too complacent]] with him? Nope, the school system had it out for him as far as he is concerned. An extra hint of the complacency is that people in Emil's original academic career path should be learning Icelandic in this universe, yet Emil only speaks his native Swedish. |
| 301 | * ''Webcomic/Rain2010'': Chase Brenton is an UpperClassTwit at best and this trope practically every other time. Because of his family's wealth, he spends all his time charming women, [[TheAlcoholic getting drunk]], and just generally being a sleazy {{Jerkass}}. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment In his first appearance]], he gives alcohol to minors at a Halloween party because he thought it would make it less boring. Really, it's not hard to see why [[LovableAlphaBitch Emily]] broke up with him. [[spoiler:Not that she really liked him anyway. [[AbusiveParents Her mother]] was the one to talk her into it, likely only because of Chase's status, and Emily was desperate for her approval. And because of him, [[TeenPregnancy she's pregnant]], making Chase a legitimate sex offender.]] |
| 302 | [[/folder]] |
| 303 | |
| 304 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 305 | * Emma from ''WebVideo/EmmaApproved''. She is mildly interested in fashion and loves her expensive outfits, which she sometimes uses as bribes to ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney! effect. She started her company with her father's money and uses it to take control of other people's lives because she feels superior and thinks they don't know what they want... but she's also a GoGetterGirl to the point she quickly gained her own client base after her father's initial input and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold genuinely wants to help others]]. It doesn't hurt that she's mostly right and works as a BlitheSpirit ChaoticGood [[TheWonka Wonka Archetype]]. |
| 306 | * WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick has impossibly high standards for everyone (including herself), is WickedCultured, and can't even face giving some change to the resident [[WebVideo/BumReviews bum]]. |
| 307 | * ''WebVideo/PiratesSMP'': Guqqie boasts about being from a wealthy family and never having had to work a "peasant" job a day in their life. They also think Owen's choice to leave a life of wealth and luxury behind is a mistake on his part, not understanding he finds that life far too stifling for his taste. Guqqie ''does'' have a soft side, but the point stands. |
| 308 | * In ''Tales From the SMP'', a spin-off from the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'', Lyaria from the episode "The Masquerade" possessed a distaste for the lower class, and only respected the protagonist after learning that he was wealthy. She also refused to touch Drew, a LowerClassLout, when [[ItMakesSenseInContext playing Duck, Duck, Goose]]. |
| 309 | * [[http://akaichounokoe.deviantart.com/gallery/34256876 Toki]]. Some stories by Creator/{{Amoridere}} has her as this but not a much she did [[http://akaichounokoe.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=giselle#/d4z716b Giselle]], explaining why the latter was evicted. To elaborate more on the latter, it's been implied Giselle's bitchiness is just flat-out jerkassery, considering that she's most likely taken advantage of Toki's mental illness, once pushed Doki down a flight of stairs, and constantly did much to antagonize the other residents of the house on the grounds that she felt like it, using her wealth as an excuse, while the former has been bitchy anyway. |
| 310 | * ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': Solange (Tansy Walcutt). She was an ugly, chubby, pimply (but filthy rich) victim of other rich kids until she got her mutation and transformed into a gorgeous blonde bombshell.. who treats everyone the way she was once treated. She definitely doesn't have a heart of gold. The difference between her and some other rich bitches on this list is that she also uses her superpowers to hurt and degrade other people. |
| 311 | [[/folder]] |
| 312 | |
| 313 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 314 | * [[WriterOnBoard All too present]] in both ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' and ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''. [[WriteWhoYouKnow Due to high school experiences]], series creator Butch Hartman does not particularly care for rich kids. Except for Sam in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', who is down-to-earth and hides her affluence so that she doesn't get any special treatment. Her parents may qualify, although they're really just Jewish [=WASPs=] who are overly concerned with their image. |
| 315 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'': Eustace Strytch is a male example of this -- constantly using and abusing everyone, [[AbusiveOffspring including his own father]], and focusing all his resources on one goal -- SMASHING NEUTRON. Oh, and possibly using Cindy, too, just for the hell of it. |
| 316 | * ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'': Nanette Manoir isn't just a rich bitch, she's the queen of all rich bitches. Sweet and polite towards the adults (especially the teacher), she exercises all her worst traits on Angela, her friends, and anyone unlucky enough to be considered beneath her (which is just about everybody). She uses her family's wealth and status to assert her bitchiness. |
| 317 | * Muffy Crosswire from ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}''. Although she's not as bad as most examples on this page, she is still snobby and not afraid to lord her family's wealth over her classmates. It also doesn't help that she's constantly resorting to and putting her friends up to overly eager get-rich-quick schemes despite already being fabulously wealthy. |
| 318 | * ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': While Pamela Isley wasn't near Bruce Wayne's level of wealth in her [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison first appearance]] her day job as a research chemist for the Chez Gerard cosmetics firm obviously nonetheless paid very well since most people can't afford such a massive, private nursery filled with numerous, exotic looking plants. The "bitch" part comes with her being a [[TheVamp maneater]] [[GaiasVengeance eco terrorist]] BitchInSheepsClothing suffering from [[SmugSnake overconfidence]]. |
| 319 | * Claire Brewster from ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'' thinks she is universally loved, being rich and all that. Outside of her school clique, she's actually quite hated. |
| 320 | * Bianca Dupree in ''WesternAnimation/BeverlyHillsTeens''. The funny thing is that most of the other cast is also filthy rich, so she just fills the bitch part, although she seems to be slightly richer than them. |
| 321 | * Wendy Winkle from ''WesternAnimation/TheCrampTwins'' easily comes across as one. Hating pretty much anyone but Wayne ([[AbhorrentAdmirer who she is in love with]]), spending all of her money on attracting Wayne, and still asking for plenty of stuff from her dad just to get him for herself. |
| 322 | * {{WesternAnimation/Breadwinners}}: T-Midi is said to have "more dough than the Bread Mines" and he owns a mansion, he is also a frequent target of Oonski the Great's plundering due to having a lot of expensive stuff. He is a jerk with a heart of gold at his best and at his worst he is a villain who torments the Breadwinners at every turn. |
| 323 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'': Averted by [[SpoiledSweet Bebe Bluff]] for the most part... but a possible male example in Roger, a JerkJock bully who won the lottery in the switch to Disney, adding a permanent case of AcquiredSituationalNarcissism to his already [[{{Jerkass}} abrasive]] personality. He does show a few signs of maturity at times, though. |
| 324 | * ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': [[Characters/DuckTales2017ScroogeMcDuck Scrooge McDuck]] usually isn't this, though his miserly nature shines through from time to time. He plays it up intentionally in "Rumble for Ragnarok", playing a {{Heel}} who takes taxes from the audience and seemingly stabs his family in the back to win. |
| 325 | * ''WesternAnimation/EdgarAndEllen'': |
| 326 | ** Stephanie Knightleigh, the mayor's daughter, is snobby and pretentious, and she picks on the twins a lot for not being rich or popular like her (of course, sometimes they do something to deserve it). Averted with Stephanie's brother Miles. |
| 327 | ** In "Nuggets of Stupidity", Edgar and Ellen find gold on their property and become even bigger {{jerkass}}es than they already were. They use the money to buy things other people want or need so that the other people can't have them, pay to have the town reconstructed in a way nobody likes it except them, and cruelly mock the other townspeople for being poor. Even ''Stephanie'' is horrified by the way they're acting. |
| 328 | --->'''Stephanie:''' [[HypocriticalHumor I knew you were selfish and heartless]], but I didn't think you'd sink ''this'' far! |
| 329 | %%* ''WesternAnimation/GoodVibes'': Milan Stone. |
| 330 | * Pacifica Northwest from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''. Though in Season 2, [[CharacterDevelopment she gets better]]. A lot of her bitchiness is due to her parents, who are far worse Rich Bitches than she is and actively encourage her to go down the same way as them. |
| 331 | * ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': Rhonda has a tendency to be this, although it's not as bad as other examples on this page. |
| 332 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Horseland}}'': |
| 333 | ** The series based on the horse-raising computer game has the Stilton sisters... [[{{Pun}} oooh, how clever]]. Yes, they act in keeping with the pop culture stereotype perpetuated by Paris and Nikki Hilton too. Both contrast with resident LonelyRichKid Sarah Whitney, who was assumed to be like them when she first came to the ranch. Interestingly, the younger redhead sister Zoey looks like [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Lindsay Lohan]] while the older one, Chloe, still looks like Paris dead-on. |
| 334 | ** There's also Talia Bentley of Stanhope Stables from "Changing Spots", an even worse Rich Bitch than the Stiltons who doesn't care about anything except winning, and is the reason why Alma tries to teach them to be nicer for a change. |
| 335 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'': |
| 336 | ** Pizzazz has a multimillionaire for a father. She ''really'' wants attention and hates that Jem is a more popular band. |
| 337 | ** Eric Raymond, The Misfits' manager, doubly so. The guy (and his proteges by proxy) can get away with pretty much anything because he's rich. His catchphrase? |
| 338 | --->''It's amazing what lawyers can do. If you pay them enough.'' |
| 339 | * ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' gives us Jez, [[{{Satan}} Lucius]]' gold-digging girlfriend. |
| 340 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': The main four's rich annoying neighbor, Pretty is one of these until her HeelFaceTurn. She's incredibly mean to everybody, especially Kaeloo and Stumpy, and looks down on people who aren't rich. |
| 341 | * Lily from ''WesternAnimation/KappaMikey'', though in her case she's like this as a knee-jerk reaction to Mikey swooping in and stealing her perceived status as the biggest star in town. |
| 342 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheKidsFromRoom402'': Jordan is afraid of being seen as one because of her wealth. |
| 343 | * Alexis in ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes2006'' is a bit complicated. She really ''is'' a LonelyRichKid, but as Phantom Girl puts it, "She takes the 'privileged but misunderstood' act to a whole new level." Bitchy to everyone but Superman, she has a [[MurderTheHypotenuse pretty unforgiving jealous streak]]. |
| 344 | * The Biskit twins from ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012''. Coming from a rich family the twins are naturally spoiled, such as having a bunch of laptops in case one happens to get angry enough to break their current laptop. They only think for themselves and have no problem criticizing others for their fashion or friends, with seemingly no intention to apologize or take the comment back. |
| 345 | %%* ''WesternAnimation/LolaAndVirginia'': Virginia. |
| 346 | * Chloé Bourgeois in ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug''. Her father is the mayor of Paris as well as a prominent hotelier, and she treats all her peers as if they are beneath her. |
| 347 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': |
| 348 | ** Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara. Both come from rich families and they often tease Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle because they're "blank flanks." They [[HeelFaceTurn get]] [[BullyTurnedBuddy better]] in Season 5, though. |
| 349 | ** Rarity encounters Jet Set and Upper Crust in Canterlot. They're not only preppy rich bitches, but they're also the nauseatingly smug couple you love to hate. |
| 350 | ** As bad as Diamond Tiara can be, her mother Spoiled Rich is much, much worse, treating everypony she considers to be beneath her (and there are very few who she does not consider to be beneath her) like dirt, and [[AbusiveParents her own daughter not much better.]] Getting the courage to stand up to her is what allows Diamond to spark her and Silver's HeelFaceTurn. |
| 351 | * A rare male example: in ''WesternAnimation/NedsNewt'', the teenager Rusty [=McCabe=]. He sometimes randomly receives luxurious gifts in the middle of his classes and invokes ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney something fierce. He also competes with the awkward protagonist for a girl's affections. |
| 352 | * Princess Morbucks from ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' definitely deserves a mention. Insanely jealous of the Girls' superpowers, she whined to her father until he got his company to build her a "super-suit". She's such an utter bitch, she literally traveled to the North Pole and ''put herself'' on Santa Claus' Nice List... and everyone else on the Naughty List, for no reason other than pure spite. Once Santa found out, he got ''angry'' and carved her name on the Permanent Naughty List. |
| 353 | * ''WesternAnimation/RatedAForAwesome'': Chet Flickman. His father runs the biggest company in Glickersville, and as such, he's constantly lording his money over everyone, and being a generally unpleasant {{Jerkass}}. |
| 354 | * Aria of ''WesternAnimation/RollBots'' is the mayor of Flip City, is rich, and can't even remember the names of the people she knows. |
| 355 | %%* ''WesternAnimation/Rugrats2021'': Charlotte Pickles. |
| 356 | * Gem Stone from the ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries''. Paid fellow students to do everything for her (Even be her friend) and seemed to be unable to understand that they only tolerated her for her money (Even in the Christmas Carol episode where she was shown even her parents hated being around her and her nanny screaming in glee that she was finally free when Gem died). |
| 357 | * Sally Fishlips and Momma from ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel'', both of which are already part of the show's TerribleTrio. The former is an AlphaBitch [[OurMonstersAreWeird Piranha-like Kaiju]] that [[ElephantInTheLivingRoom nobody is terrified of]] while the latter is TheIgor of the BigBad. |
| 358 | * Lady Richington from ''WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity'', as her name may indicate, is a very wealthy woman. Fulfilling the "bitch" part of the trope is how she has an unreasonable hatred of Sheep and keeps beating him up with her wig unprovoked whenever she sees him, not noticing or caring that [[InterspeciesRomance Sheep loves her poodle Swanky and Swanky loves him back]]. |
| 359 | * ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'': |
| 360 | ** Montana Max is a male example. He's obscenely wealthy but uses his fortune as an excuse to pick on the other characters and make their lives miserable. |
| 361 | ** Roderick and Rubella Rat, as well as all the other students of Perfecto Prep. TTA really likes this trope. |
| 362 | * Sasha Caylo of ''WesternAnimation/TitanMaximum'' certainly qualifies -- [[InsultBackfire she looks proudly smug when Palmer calls her a raging bitch.]] |
| 363 | * ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' |
| 364 | ** A couple episodes imply that [[Characters/TotalDramaCourtney Courtney's]] rich or at least well-off, such as when she hires a team of lawyers to sue her way back into the competition in ''Action.'' "One Million Bucks, B.C." shows her indulging in lobster and Belgian chocolate. Also, in "The Princess Pride", Leshawna explicitly refers to Courtney as a "skinny rich girl" in her note to Harold as he was singing Courtney's princess song in the confessional. |
| 365 | ** [[Characters/TotalDramaHeather Heather]] has mentioned coming from a rich family. |
| 366 | * Cornelia Hale from ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'', [[AdaptationPersonalityChange in stark contrast with]] her down to earth nature in [[ComicBook/{{WITCH}} the original comics]]. Take a shot every time Cornelia throws back her long blonde hair and insults her friends' fashion sense and lack of popularity. Double-up if she sticks out her chest while she's doing it. |
