Nouveau riche (French for "new rich"), or new money, refers to a person who has acquired considerable wealth within his or her generation.Old Family ties, as traditional claims of status, are not found in the nouveaux riches, which challenges and ultimately redefines social traditions such as institution of debutantes and their debut to society.
