Anybody, though more often, public figures, who are both wealthy, and support socialism. 'Champagne Socialist' is a word used to discredit any left-leaning argument, valid or not, that a person with wealth puts forth.
"When I was poor and I complained about inequality people said I was bitter. Now I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite, a champagne socialist. I'm beginning to think they just don't want inequality on the agenda because it is a real problem that needs to be addressed."
