You know this woman. She’s cultured and rich, and she knows how to handle any social situation (or at least upper-class ones). Her rich husband or father adores her, and never tires of supplying her with a constant stream of Gucci and Armani fashions. She lives in a mansion, usually in California, or a penthouse in Manhattan, and she vacations in Europe. Her natural habitat is hanging out at glamorous social events, gala arts openings, and celebrity fundraisers at posh restaurants with a glass of champagne in her hand. Often she doesn’t have a job, but sometimes she can be working part-time in a glamorous high-end position, such as a celebrity publicist or magazine columnist, which gives her access to the right types of people. She doesn’t need a job for the money, and her role — staying firmly in the public eye and connecting herself with the most influential members of high society — is a full-time occupation… Media attention, influence, and status are what fuels her. While the Socialite is similar to — and can overlap with — the “Rich Bitch”, the “Gold Digger”, and the “Upper-Class Twit”, there is a difference: a Socialite is often “Spoiled Sweet”, and she may very well be a nice woman who just so happens to have inherited a fortune… Distaff counterpart to the “Millionaire Playboy”. A Sub-Trope of “Idle Rich”… ~ Socialite – TV Tropes
