Vicarious Leisure 

Excess consumption by an auxiliary member of the leisure class. This is referenced in Thorstein Veblen's "The Theory of The Leisure Class". His most prominent example is described as a wife of a member of the leisure class.
Through vicarious leisure, she enjoyed the fine accoutrements provided by the vast wealth of her husband.
