A person who is always looking to improve their
social standing beyond what is
reasonable or fitting by acquiring more desirable possessions, taking
extravagant vacations, joining exclusive organizations and cultivating new and advantageous social connections in order to impress others.
His
vacationing on the
Costa del Sol shows what a status seeker he has become.
Being
superficial status seekers, they are thinking of buying a new McMansion, even though they don't plan on having a family and already own a house that suits their needs in all respects.
