Skip to main content
A petty, egotistical, and often insidious person that is perpetually deeply resentful, insecure, and jealous towards anyone and everyone that has or appears to have more money, higher status, and / or a better lifestyle than theirs, especially if that someone happens to be younger, more attractive, more intelligent, or comes from a wealthy family.

How well you treat them, and how hard you worked for your money, matters little to a wealthcel.

Wealthcels are usually working class to lower middle class, but they also do exist in the upper income classes. Wealthcels need only perceive themselves to be less successful and wealthy than you.

Wealthcels will usually, if not always, try (and fail) to mask their resentment (at their own insecurities, but they will never admit this to themselves) by engaging in persistent passive aggressive behavior designed to annoy or undermine the person or people they perceive to be undeserving of said higher income, status, quality of life, etc. (at least compared to them and their inflated egos).

On a broader level, they may publicly support the adoption of socialism / marxism / anticapitalism / communism, to try and force everyone else to be as miserable as they are, via government mandate.

Many wealthcels are also incels or borderline incels, due to the correlation between income and SMV.
Now I understand why the wealthy elite live behind walls and gated communities, to get away from potential wealthcels that would resent them for their quality of life.

I would rather do my own laundry than hire a maid.

I don't need some wealthcel 'misplacing' a red sock in the wash with my expensive white linens.
