message: There's nothing fundamentally different that sets tuhaos apart from any other nouveau riche. This article should be merged into the article Nouveau Riche as a section.

replies: text: The Chinese term Tuhao should have its own article rather than merging it here.  Right now, over half of the content in this article "Nouveau riche" is about the Chinese word Tuhao.  The length alone indicates that it needs to be its own article.  Also, the meaning of Tuhao doesn't match completely with Nouveau riche, as Tuhao has several different meanings depends on context; there is a classic literary definition and a modern popular slang one. Better to explain it in its own article.--Febetsh23 (talk) 08:02, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

message: These days the discrimination is often against Old Money, not New Money. "The sperm lottery" is what they call inherited wealth.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.59.249 (talk) 01:56, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

WORLDS MOST ACCURATE ENCYCLOPEDIA
I second that, however thankfully not all articles are biased like this one. And if you read the definition of nouveau riche properly, you would remove several people off this list. Since when is Oprah spending money conspicuously and lacks taste, I mean, Paris Hilton is the best example but only is she was poor and suddenly inherited money, which is not the case.
Why this list exists is beyond me. It's simply ridiculous. Dollvalley 15:00, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It seems to me this list would be hard to cite fully, but some of them are painfully obvious and I think should go back in.  For example, The Great Gatsby and The Beverly Hillbillies are both so integrally linked to the "new rich" concept per their plot synopses I think those don't need a citation.  Some are a little less obvious and could use citations or should simply be omitted.  The Corleones in The Godfather...while it's true that they are a rags to (illicit) riches family, it's not a core part of the plot.  Although, I think I remember it coming up at some point, but it might've been in the context of everyone knowing why they're rich. CSZero (talk) 16:55, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fictional examples 

message: The social status section is unclear.  It includes many quotes that sound like opinions, but does not mention whose opinions they are (besides including citations).  Also, the opinions are stated as facts.  Furthermore, these opinions are about particular places, but the section reads as if it universally applies to the whole world and all societies.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.2.129.151 (talk) 03:21, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
