Richie Rich
Comics' boy billionaire
Richie Rich is a character from Harvey Comics—a wealthy boy in a suit and bow tie—whose name has become shorthand for ostentatious wealth or a person born into money.
The term often carries mild derision, suggesting someone out of touch with ordinary life: He rolled up in a Tesla like some Richie Rich.
Sometimes used affectionately for a friend who picks up the tab.
