->''"Hooray! A happy ending for the rich people!"''
-->-- '''Dr. Zoidberg''', ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}''

Basically characters who (usually) have a lot of money, or at least their families do.

It doesn't matter if they [[ConspicuousConsumption flaunt their wealth]] with [[CoolCar fancy cars]] and {{Jewelry}}, or live austere lives. It doesn't matter if they are [[BlueBlood old money]] or NouveauRiche.

In fiction, they tend to gather in places like [[HollywoodCalifornia Beverly Hills]].
