rich kid
Born with silver
A rich kid is a young person from a wealthy family, often with implications of privilege, sheltered upbringing, or not understanding ordinary financial concerns.
The term can be neutral but frequently carries resentment or dismissiveness: He's just a rich kid who's never worked a day in his life.
Rich-kid problems are trivial complaints about luxury: My yacht is in the wrong marina.
