privileged upbringing
Wealthy family background
A privileged upbringing is childhood spent in favorable circumstances—usually wealth, social status, or access to opportunities that most don't have.
The phrase often carries implicit criticism, suggesting someone hasn't experienced ordinary hardships: His privileged upbringing left him clueless about money struggles.
It can also be neutral or even positive when acknowledging advantages without judgment.
