Rich Bitch / Anime & Manga

• Ayame Yatsuhashi from Ai Kora is obsessed with winning over Maeda, and is willing to use all the money and influence she can bring to bear to get his attention away from the other girls and towards her.
• All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku TV gives us Chieko Shikaraba...er, Shakariba, no, um... ah! Shirakaba. Oddly enough she goes to a public school, but she sure qualifies from the sheer amount of random wealth and bitchiness. Even her two "friends" sing about how bitchy she is in the Musical Episode.
  "She's right! She's right! What Miss Chieko says is right!"
• More than one character in Ashita no Nadja, especially Fernando's aunt Simone. Subverted by Marianne Hamilton, who is selfish and blunt but truly cares for Francis and doesn't use her riches to make herself look better than she truly is.
• Boys over Flowers:
  • Domyouji's mother Kaede is the rich bitch "villain" of the series. She is constantly throwing her money about to ruin the lives of Makino and those she knows to keep her away from the Domyouji family. Also, every girl in Makino's school is a rich bitch, excluding Makiko but including Sakurako, who eventually becomes Makino's friend but does not lose her nasty mannerisms.
  • At the beginning of the series, Domyoji himself could qualify as a male example. Luckily he mellows out a bit.
• Candy♡Candy: Eliza Reagan. Screw the Rules, I Have Money!? Check. Being the Alpha Bitch? Check. Constantly abusing Candy, who can be counted as some sort of Country Mouse? Check. Did it all for her own amusement? Big check. Taking joy in all of them? REALLY. BIG. CHECK.
• Case Closed:
  • A real example, Reika Yotsui, does appear in a two-part case, in which the Mouris and Conan are invited to her birthday party after they find her lost puppy. Guess what, she's one of the two murder victims in the case, alongside one of the guys in her Unwanted Harem (Youji Nikaido). And they're killed by another member of the bitch's "harem", Takashi Ichieda, since they killed the girl he loved (the Yotsui landlady's granddaughter Yaeko) to save their own lives some time ago.
  • There's also Asuka Shibazaki and Ema Anzai from another two-part case. They are beautiful (Asuka works as a top model), they come from powerful families and they are really nasty bitches. In the past, they framed a girl named Sakurako Suzuka for the drug trades their families were involved in and destroyed her life in the process. Sakurako, unable to prove her innocence, killed herself by throwing herself off the university's roof. Their actions come to bite them in the ass a few years later when they were killed by her older sister Eri Akechi aka Chieri Aki in the hot springs inn they were staying in.
  • In a more recent case, the Asshole Victim was the very haughty businesswoman Ritsuko Sashibara. She was introduced by being a horribly stuck-up asshole to her Beleaguered Assistant Ayami, the shop assistant Reia ^note (who refers to Ritsuko with the VERY respectful "Sashibara-sama" due to her high status) and a woman with serious allergies, Tomoyo, in front of Conan... and less than an hour later, she was found strangled to death in a changing room. The killer was Ayami, who was sick of Ritsuko's horribly abusive behavior and was trapped as her assistant because of her debts.
• Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto — has a male example at first. No, not the title character, the extremely wealthy illegitimate son of the next pope, but his classmate, Giovanni de'Medici. Giovanni has an Establishing Character Moment in the first chapter when he forces Scholarship Student Angelo onto a Moody Mount in retaliation for upstaging him in class. But by volume 3, Giovanni drops that facade, admits his insecurities, accepts help from Cesare, and befriends both him and Angelo.
  • Cesare's brother, also named Giovanni (really Juan), is both wealthy and a Bastard Bastard, though in the scope of the series, he's simply an Annoying Younger Sibling.
• Daimos: Reiko looks down on those not from wealthy families like her. She asked Kazuya to open a car door for her, as if he was a valet, instead of doing it herself. Her Upperclass Twit attitude earned her an Arch-Enemy in Nana.
  Reiko: "Spending time with people of the lower classes can make for some quality entertainment!"
  • This makes her crush on Kyoushiro deeply ironic considering he quoted Karl Marx in episode 4.
  Kyoushiro: "As Marx said, doubt everything".
• Aya Misaki from Dear Brother. Her father is a famous lawyer and she's got money, looks, and a good family, so when she doesn't get a spot in the Sorority, she begins to abuse Mariko and Nanako for getting in instead of her. Slightly subverted in the anime, where episode 30 gives some insight into her train of thoughts, and it's not pretty. She ends up having a Heel–Face Turn.
• Kyoko Aoi in Future GPX Cyber Formula is the owner of her racing team. She adopts a "win or else" attitude towards racing by finding only the best racers, antagonizes rival team Sugo Asurada at every turn, and fires her engineers whenever they make a mistake, even if it's a small one. She mostly gets over it in the last 3 OVAs.
• Future Robot Daltanious has Princess Catine, the Alien Princess of Proxia who mocks Sanae for having the clothes of "a servant girl" and only is interested in Kento because she heard he's the heir to the Heliosian throne.
• An example of a Rich Bastard is Shute Sutherland from Haruka Nogizaka's Secret, which could be summed up as a male Eliza... only with more comeuppance in every one of his acts to belittle whoever is of the lower status compared to him.
• Hetalia: Axis Powers: A parody example is Switzerland. He's a Miser, as well as being paranoid, Hot-Blooded, xenophobic, and Trigger-Happy... though he's still got some Pet the Dog moments when he interacts with his sister, the little girl Liechtenstein (and his memories of his past friendship with Austria, no matter how often he denies it).
• Hello! Sandybell: Kitty's father is the Chairman of the British conglomerate Shearer & Co. She's horrible to Sandybell and looks down on the fact that she's poorer than her. When she applies for a job at the newspaper company where Sandybell and Alec work, she gets her dad to pull some strings and ensure she gets a high position.
• Highschool of the Dead: Subverted. Though Saya comes from wealth and status, she resented her parents, because she felt pressured to live up to their expectations. Which is the reason she developed such an abrasive personality. It took a sharp slap and a stern lecture from her mother to finally set her straight.
• Kanon Mizushiro, the protagonist of Jewelpet Sunshine, comes from a rich family, and is arrogant, confident, and snobbish, though her wealth is almost never brought up. She does mellow out a little as the show goes on.
• Kazutaka Hyōdō from Kaiji, the Big Bad of the series, takes this trope to extreme, disturbing degrees. His favorite thing is to watch the broke and desperate dregs of society squirm, break, and give in to despair, so he sets up numerous Absurdly High Stakes Games for people buried in debt, where the punishment for failure is anything from mutilation, to a very short lifetime of indentured servitude in hazardous conditions, to outright death. And he doesn't treat his subordinates much better, either.
• Lady!!: Madeleine is a Noveau Rich Englishwoman who has two Spoiled Brats for children. She's absolutely horrible to Lynn, her would-be stepdaughter, and tells her that she would be better off without her. She wants to marry George to become a full-blooded noblewoman and acts as if Marble Mansion is already hers.
• In A Little Snow Fairy Sugar Greta tries to be this to Saga, except that Saga refuses to pay any attention to her attempts. Or maybe Saga genuinely just doesn't notice.
• Eventually subverted by Genevieve Van Heusen from Love Is in the Bag.
• Lucy-May of the Southern Rainbow: Mr. Pettywell believes that him having extraordinary wealth means he gets a free pass to do whatever he likes (his Establishing Character Moment is using it to cut the line on the ship carrying the immigrants). He's completely oblivious as to why his obnoxious personality results in people disliking him.
• Kaze no Shōjo Emily: Rhoda Stewart, the Alpha Bitch of Blair Waters, is very wealthy and connected with the elite of Vancouver. In one episode she throws a birthday party, and shows off her Big Fancy House to Emily & Co.
• More than a few minor villains in Magi: Labyrinth of Magic. Especially Abhmad the king of Balbadd. When Abhmad is approached by Alibaba his half-brother and leader of the Fog Troupe, a rebel organization that has been making Abhmad's life miserable he refuses to even speak to him, on the grounds that Alibaba is only half royalty, as his father was the previous king, and his mother was a prostitute from the slums. Even worse, we later learn that Abhmad intends to sell the citizenry of his kingdom into slavery, so that he can keep enjoying his hedonistic lifestyle.
• Umi Ryuuzaki from Magic Knight Rayearth exhibits this early on in the series. But eventually, her situation forces her to mature (including the heartwretching first-season finale), and she ends up as a respectable, formidable Lady of War.
• Flay Allster from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED started as a sort-of space version of the Alpha Bitch, but later she manipulated Kira for a good chunk of the series as "revenge" since he didn't save her father, George, from a really nasty death in space. Which she witnessed from the bridge of the Archangel. She eventually did fall for Kira for real and attempted to redeem herself, only to die as a result.)
• Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Dorothy Catalonia starts off looking like a Rich Bitch who gets into ideological squabbles with Relena all while making subtle passes at Heero, Quatre, Zechs, and Relena. Later on, it's revealed that she's a Broken Bird with issues, and official sequels depict her as much nicer, but still playful and flirty. She's got her gold-plated limousine, space shuttle, and, in Endless Waltz, transport carrier.
• Eva Heinemann of Monster, the medical big-wig's daughter, starts out consoling the (surgeon) hero's angst over choosing who lives and who dies by assuring him that human lives aren't equal, and just gets bitchier from there. Though, as the series progresses, Eva evolves into something more along the lines of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold and the viewer begins to sympathize with her. In the end, she's redeemed, and the hero reconciles with her.
• Mashiro in My-Otome fits this description nicely, complete with Arika, the Country Mouse, being her favorite target. Since this is a rather idealistic series, her heart of gold manifests itself after she becomes a Fallen Princess, meets the very homeless people she used to despise, and learns An Aesop about abusing her position. Awww, how touching.
• Ayaka Yukihiro of Negima! Magister Negi Magi looks like this at first glance, but it's subverted when it turns out that she's really Spoiled Sweet and simply doesn't get along well with Asuna. At least, not that they would admit.
• Haru in Ojojojo is a deconstruction. Because of her incredibly snobby attitude, she's alienated herself from everyone around her and constantly has to transfer schools. The worst part is that she only adopted that persona because her original friends refused to associate with her because of her status. She does slowly get better as the manga progresses, but she still calls her friends "commoners" out of force of habit (much to her own frustration).
• Ouran High School Host Club: Seika Ayanokouji and Éclair Tonnerre (who's also a bit of a Clingy Jealous Girl), but none of the other rich girls surprisingly enough. With some bits of Character Development, Eclaire turns out to be quite a decent person, and ultimately she lets go of Tamaki. She's more selfish and very naive in regards to love than truly bitchy.
• Pokémon: The Series: Several examples in one-off characters, but perhaps most memorable is Jessiebelle, James' fiancée (and the Identical Stranger of Jessie).
• Platinum Berlitz from Pokémon Adventures is a little bit of this at the beginning of the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum arc, until she warms up to Diamond and Pearl.
• Project A-Ko: B-ko Daitoukuji is used to getting what she wants, because of her family's status and because she's a super empowered super genius. So she's not about to start taking "no" for an answer now. This means A-ko's gotta go since she's keeping C-ko to herself.
• Ranma ½: While Kodachi Kuno is a snob, that isn't the problem. She's batshit insane, has no scruples, and will stop at nothing to get what she wants, especially where Ranma is concerned.
• The Secret Garden:
  • Mary was often grumpy, rude and entitled towards her servants. After she has a Jerkass Realization, she feels awful about her actions, and warms up to Dickon, Martha and Ben.
  • Mr. and Mrs. Lennox refused to properly raise and care for Mary because they thought their leisure time was more important. They die without properly knowing her.
  • While Lilias Craven was Nice to the Waiter, Archibald Craven was utterly cruel to them and kicked Camila out after her death because he said it was her fault she died.
• Slayers NEXT gives us Martina, who starts the show off like this, but then Lina blows up her town and she becomes a poor girl obsessed with revenge. She's still a bitch, though. Until almost the end.
• Ayeka from Tenchi Muyo! also possesses these qualities from time to time, especially when dealing with Ryoko. When not ticked off, she's more like The Ojou.
• Minto in Tokyo Mew Mew, who is also good at heart, and also gained a snobbier rival in a filler episode.
• Altessa from Twin Princess of Wonder Planet, although she stopped being so Alpha Bitch-ish later on and became a main character.
• Sayuri in Silver Plan to Redo From JK used to be a textbook example of this, treating most other people like trash and coasting by on her family's money. This left her completely unprepared for when the money was gone. She ended up homeless and unable to hold on to a job. When she reincarnates into her own younger self, she does everything she can to avert this trope.
• Yu-Gi-Oh!: Seto Kaiba's a ludicrously wealthy CEO, and treats everyone not named Mokuba with cold contempt at best and outright cruelty at worst. Exaggerated in the 4Kids version, which gives him snarky one-liners about firing employees that he never had in the original.
