overprivileged
Too many advantages
Overprivileged describes someone who has more advantages, wealth, or social benefits than is fair or warranted—often implying they're unaware of or insensitive to others' disadvantages.
The term mirrors underprivileged but carries a critical edge: overprivileged college kids complaining about minor inconveniences.
It suggests not just having privilege but having an excess of it.
