History Main / CastFullOfRichPeople

* ''LightNovel/TheCaseFilesOfJewelerRichard'' focuses on Richard Ranasinghe de Vulpian, a well-off jeweler from a staggeringly rich family, whose family, work associates, and wealthy customers make up the bulk of the cast. Seigi, his two college friends, and his parents are the only ones not absurdly wealthy in the series--and it spends far less time on all but Seigi.
** Given how much Richard pays Seigi, their RelationshipUpgrade to "partners," and Richard's lavish gifts, Seigi is hardly considered middle-class by the later books.

* ''Series/DeviousMaids'': While the maids themselves are not rich (except for Marisol, who's actually a college professor, going on an undercover as a maid), their employers belong to the rich and powerful who all live in Beverly Hills and always showcase their luxurious lifestyle.

* ''Series/TheWhiteLotus'': Besides a few of the staff, the limited series mainly revolves around a set of wealthy guests who are all staying in suite rooms at the titular Hawaiian luxury beach resort.

* ''Film/GetAClue'': It's about a group of high school students who investigates their missing teacher. The said students happen to be rich Upper East Side teenagers and attending an elite private school.

* The cast of ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' attends Shuchiin Academy, a school meant for Japan's wealthiest families, with the parents of most students being politicians, corporate [=CEOs=], and so on. While Kaguya is the only one whose extreme wealth has much plot relevance, many students casually talk about having expensive vacations on cruise ships or to foreign countries. Student Council president Miyuki Shirogane, however, is from a poor family and only got into the school on an academic scholarship, and he works incredibly hard to keep his grades top-notch in part so the rich kids don't look down on him.
* ''LightNovel/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'' stars Catarina Claes, the daughter of a duke and the fiancee of a prince. Most of her friends and schoolmates at the kingdom of Sorcier's WizardingSchool are wealthy nobles. One of the few exceptions is Maria, a commoner who happened to be born with the rare light magic (something that caused her to be mistaken for a noble's illegitimate child, since few besides nobles can use magic).

* Due to its focus on politics, this applies to ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''. Most of the major characters are high-ranking lords and ladies of Westeros. With this status comes old estates, intricate costumes, jockeying for power in the DeadlyDecadentCourt, the works. There are some less well-off point of view characters (eg. Davos, Areo), but they tend to serve the nobility and provide insight on their lives. There are also some commoner [=POVs=] (usually one-offs for the prologue and epilogues) and supporting characters (such as those in Jon's and Arya's storylines), but these are the minority.

* With a name like ''Series/{{Billions}}'', wealthy characters are certainly expected. The two main characters are rich, with Bobby Axelrod being a hedge fund billionaire, and Chuck Rhoades coming from a very rich OldMoney, with his trust fund being locked on his own command, despite working as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
** Chuck's deputy prosecutor, Kate Sacker, also has a wealthy father and her own trust fund.
** Bobby's employees at Axe Cap, including Chuck's wife, Wendy, and associates, are also rich by working for him.

* ''Series/{{Revenge}}'' is set in the Hamptons (an affluent summer destination for wealthy New Yorkers), and focuses on Emily Thorne as she tries to get revenge on the rich and powerful Graysons. Many of the supporting characters (including the Graysons' associates and Emily's friends) tend towards the wealthy end of the spectrum as well.
** Emily Thorne herself is rich as well, thanks to inheriting 49% share of Nolan's tech company, in which her father had invested.

* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse:'' For reasons which no one has ever figured out, there is a disproportionately high rate of mutant manifestations among the uber-rich[[note]] though some of have darkly suggested that this is because many of the poorer ones [[CapePunk don't survive]], or at least [[SuperhumanTrafficking remain at liberty]], long enough to get to Whateley[[/note]]; a disproportionate number of those are [[HeroicBuild high-level Exemplars]], too. While they are a relatively small part of the student body, the sway some of them hold over the rest of the school is substantial.
** In addition to the Golden Kids (the primary [[Characters/WhateleyUniverseSchoolClubsAndCliques school club]] for the scions of wealth and prestige) and the Alphas (Whateley Academy's AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil), the leading members of groups such as The Good Ol' Boyz and the New Olympians are mostly well-off or better.
** Most of the Bad Seeds' parents are also wealthy, what with being successful supervillains and all.
** One of the primary characters, Phase, is from a family whose business is at the very top of the Fiction500, and despite being disowned and left a mere pittance ($300 million), he has managed to [[YoungEntrepreneur turn his fortunes around before the end of his first year at the school]].
** Even the founder of [[BreakfastClub Faction Three]], Thuban, is immensely wealthy (and good looking during the brief periods he can hold his human form), as is Tisiphone, one his primary supporters, though in their cases the good looks aren't part of the package.

* Throughout the entire ''[[Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]] '' franchise, there’s only one prominent firebender/ Fire Nation character who’s not some sort of nobility, Mako from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra ''. {{Deuteragonist}} Zuko from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender '' is a Prince and the rest of his family have various titles. He and his sister were raised around other nobles and his girlfriend Mai’s dad is a colonial governor. Even the previous Fire Nation Avatar, Roku, was a noble as he was friends with then Prince (later Fire Lord) Sozin when they were younger. The Fire Nation is OutOfFocus in ''Korra '' but Zuko’s SpinOffSpring are present. His grandson Iroh II (who’s presumably the crown prince) [[note]] He has a sister whom they couldn’t work into the show but he’s a few years older than Korra and she was supposed to be Mako’s LoveInterest so she’s probably about Korra’s age [[/note]] helps Korra on a few occasions and his daughter, Fire Lord Izumi, shows up in two season four episodes. Even [[Literature/TheRiseOfKyoshi Avatar Kyoshi]] and Avatar Kuruk learned firebending from a noble family.

* ''Film/CrazyRichAsians'' wastes no time in establishing just ''how'' conspicuously wealthy Southeast Asia's one-percent is. The Youngs (real-estate moguls) have a BigFancyHouse in famously land-strapped Singapore, Astrid casually buys a pair of earrings costing over a million dollars in her EstablishingCharacterMoment, and Colin's and Araminta's bachelor/ette parties are a rave on a luxury cruise ship and a luxurious getaway on a private island, respectively. Rachel winds up being a PennyAmongDiamonds, unsure of her status among them.
** Even Rachel's old college friend, Peik Lin, is also rich. She drives sports cars and lives in a mansion that has everything covered in gold.

* ''Film/GetAClue'': It's about a group of high school students who investigate their missing teacher. The said students happen to be rich and attending an elite private school.
