Wall Street banker
High finance professional
A Wall Street banker is someone who works in high finance in New York City's financial district—typically in investment banking, securities trading, or asset management.
The term often carries connotations of wealth, power, and sometimes greed or recklessness: Wall Street bankers nearly collapsed the economy in 2008.
In political rhetoric, "Wall Street banker" serves as shorthand for financial elites whose interests diverge from ordinary people's.
