vulgarian
Crude wealthy person
A vulgarian is a person who lacks refinement or good taste, especially one who is wealthy but coarse in manner.
The word suggests someone whose money hasn't bought them class: He decorated his mansion like a vulgarian—gold everything.
Unlike simply calling someone vulgar, vulgarian implies a type of person, often one who flaunts wealth tastelessly.
