rich man

Person of means

A rich man is a man who has substantial wealth or financial resources.

The phrase often carries connotations beyond mere affluence—suggesting power, privilege, or moral complexity: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

A rich man's problem is a complaint that only the privileged would have.
