Parvenu- A person who has suddenly risen to a higher economic status but has not gained social acceptance of others in that class
Sentence 1: If John would be more of an entrepreneur maybe he wouldn't be considered a Parvenu to others.
Sentence 2: Although Bill was more wealthy than most at the club, the old-time members treated him as a parvenu, and rarely invited him to join their activities.
