| Jun 9, 2018 at 15:58 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | Probably a more appropriate duplicate candidate (where 'nouveau riche' is given, heavily upvoted, and can no longer be claimed by the most fastidious to fall foul of the 'must be an idiom' constraint) is idiom/expression for someone who forgets their roots on achieving success. | |

| Jun 9, 2018 at 14:56 | comment | added | Lambie | The term is nouveau riche, plural. People who are crass and get a lot of money and start behaving badly in all sorts of ways. They often exhibit all sorts of bad attitudes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nouveau_riche | |
