an affluent, ususally city dwelling professional in their late 20s or 30s (from young urban professional)

The most annoying type of person on the planet. Young and often taking their jobs too seriously, often tuning out the rest of the planet hence becoming the laughing stock of anyone with credibility/ even half a brain. Cares about oneself, and oneself only.
Does that person know anything outside of their own world.... hell no that stupid yuppie can only focus on herself

Rich idiots that wear abercrombie while drinking starbucks with one professionally manicured hand, and holding a prada bag with the other tiffany bracelet adorned hand.

A term which might have a lot of negative connotations attached to it, but really only means what it stands for - Young Urban Professional. In other words, it's anyone who is over twenty and under forty, lives in an urban environment and has a good career. This does most likely mean that they are fairly affluent, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they're self-centered, obsessed with showing off, pissy if they don't start off every single day of their lives with a latte from Starbucks, or anything else like that.
I plan to become a yuppie once I'm out of grad school, but that one little label doesn't make me a bad person.
