upper class
This term carries a strong sociological connotation, often implying not just financial wealth but also a specific set of cultural markers, such as elite education, ancestral lineage, and exclusive social networks. While "wealthy" describes a financial state, "upper class" describes a social stratum and a perceived identity.
In modern usage, the term can be neutral in a descriptive sociological sense or pejorative when used to critique systemic inequality and privilege. It is frequently contrasted with "middle class" and "working class" to delineate the hierarchical structure of a society.
