Newly-riches is a term used to describe individuals who have recently acquired immense wealth through various means such as inheritance, lottery, or business success. Synonyms for this term include nouveau riche, upstarts, parvenus, arrivistes, and neophytes. All these words describe individuals who have newly come into wealth and are usually characterized by their ostentatious display of wealth, flamboyance, and inexperience with the lifestyle that comes with wealth. Some of these words may have negative connotations, as they imply that these individuals have earned their wealth suddenly and without much effort, stealing a march on those who have worked hard for years to obtain their wealth.
