Nouveau Riche (French for “new rich”), or new money, refers to a person who has acquired considerable wealth within his or her generation.

• This term is in general toemphasize that the individual was previously part of a lower socioeconomic position, and that such wealth has provided the means for the gaining of goods or luxuries that were previously unobtainable.
