That’s not what the definition of the word aristocrat is? It has nothing to do with HOW the wealth was acquired. Just that one is a member of the privileged class.

The origin of the word too has nothing to do with how the money is acquired. Just means “member of the elite class”.

It seems you’re attached to a romanticized/nostalgic spin on the term. Not concerned with the actual definition.

Pedantry fail.
