trust-funders
Born into money
Trust-funders are people who live on inherited wealth from a trust fund—money set aside by family members and disbursed over time.
The term often carries a dismissive edge, implying someone who hasn't earned their comfortable lifestyle: The neighborhood is full of trust-funders who've never worked a real job.
Sometimes used more neutrally to describe anyone with family money cushioning their choices.
