jet set
This term describes a small, wealthy social class of people who travel frequently and luxuriously across the globe. It carries a strong connotation of exclusivity, glamour, and conspicuous consumption, often evoking images of private planes, high-end resorts, and an international lifestyle detached from the concerns of ordinary people.
While it was once a literal description of the new era of jet travel in the mid-20th century, it is now frequently used with a touch of irony or cynicism to critique the superficiality of the ultra-rich. It functions primarily as a collective noun referring to the group as a whole rather than an individual person.
